For you Mensa folks...
A wee puzzle:
Here's a puzzle that has confounded even the brightest among us. You are on a Horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a sharp drop off. And on your left side is an Elephant traveling at the same speed as you. Directly in front of you is a galloping Kangaroo and your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a Lion running at the same speed as you and the Kangaroo. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation? See answer below: / / / / / / Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round! -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner behavior causes problems. |

If so, pass the kangaroo on the left after the elephant passes you. -- Respectfully submitted by Justan Laugh of the day from Krause "I'm not to blame anymore for the atmosphere in here.

We're going to have to get you on a damn merry-go-round. -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner behavior causes problems. |
