Saw this done on another site with everyone testing each other out working out riddles and brain teasers over the preseason break. Here's one to start off with....
I dig out tiny caves, and store gold and silver in them. I also build bridges of silver and make crowns of gold. They are the smallest you could imagine. Sooner or later everybody needs my help, yet many people are afraid to let me help them. Who am I?

All the women are seated.

I've got a trivia question that I don't know the answer to.
Why would a CD be released called Shannon Noll's Greatest Hits? Have I missed something?

Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?
-
Are they still in the turned over boat when they sink to the bottom?
-
Or are they all married and therefore not single?
-
Very good.
That's a bit like the one about the plane load of homeless that crashed exactly on the US/Canadian border.
Which side of the border would they bury the survivors?

A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

Emaciated pussies. Even better, long dead ones.

Once upon a time a farmer went to market and purchased a fox, a goose, and a bag of beans. On his way home, the farmer came to the bank of a river and hired a boat. But in crossing the river by boat, the farmer could carry only himself and a single one of his purchases - the fox, the goose, or the bag of the beans.
If left alone, the fox would eat the goose, and the goose would eat the beans.
The farmer's challenge was to carry himself and his purchases to the far bank of the river, leaving each purchase intact. How did he do it?
-
Took the goose across first.
Went back and got the fox.
Took the goose back with him.
Left the goose and took the beans across.
Went back for the goose.

Too good FF :clapping :thumbsup

A group of ten people are being photographed.
The photographer places them into ten different positions.
He continues to shuffle them until he has taken pictures of the ten persons in all possible groupings.
Question : How many pictures will he take?

Assuming each person is distinguishable ;)
10 x 9 x 8 x 7 ..... x 2 x 1 = 10! = 3628800 pictures

Q. A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Q. A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason.

not if the weight of the bird is less than the weight of the fuel used to travel the 1/2 mile over the bridge
