Brain Teasers and Riddles

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....

They are having lunch at a restaurant .

Grandma with her 2 daughters and the 2 daughters of each of grandma's daughters.

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?

[Fishfinger]

Are they still in the turned over boat when they sink to the bottom?
