        ^^^--- Haha, that one is a good one. It's a complex version of circular logic.

        Here's a common one.

        The below statement is true.
        The above statement is false.


        And here's something to wrap your mind around.

        "Why is a raven like a writing desk."

        I'd recommend reading the comments for some interesting answers. ---> http://www.wisegeek.org/why-is-a-rav...iting-desk.htm

          Ooh. The Alice's Adventures in Wonderland riddle. ^.^
          I haven't followed the link to see if it's there, but I'm fond of an answer I heard a while back: "Poe wrote on both."

            How about this:

            Try explaining a color without using the color's name.

              My software doesn't have bugs. It just develops random features.

              Do you have a hour emergency call systems broadcasting radio station WNYW or Internet Explorer?
              Well? Which one?

                      I guess it'd depend on if you were talking about tap water or spring.. Usually you can taste the minerals in tap water. Otherwise, idk lol

                        He is lying. He is clearly not lying. He is either sitting, kneeling, crouching or standing.
