Ask me why were here on earth. The only answer I can give is 42, and a whole bunch of ones that i reject. :/

Edit:

Jim and his older brother kept fighting. Their mother got tired of the fighting and arguments and decided to punish them. She decided to punish them by making them stand on the same piece of newspaper in a way that they could NOT touch each other. How did she accomplish this?

It was may 30th.The detective had just been called in for a case of a teenager punching an old man. Witnesses say that the teenager went up to the man and punched him in the face. Max Baxter, the teens best friend had another story. "It was a hot day. I was waiting in the long line for the bank.Finally I decided I would not wait because the line was too long. As I was walking out of the bank, I saw my friend on the other side of the street and the old man on my side. As they crossed,the old man kicked him in the leg. All my friend was trying to do was protect himself"

The detective thought for a while. Finally he said to the police man beside him"Charge Max for lying and assisted crime and charge his friend with assault."


How did the detective know Max was lying?

Nobody got mine yet!

How did the detective know Max was lying?

1. It was a cold and/or rainy day. Max said it was hot.
2. It was Sunday and the bank was shut. Max said he was in line.
3. The old man was in a wheelchair and had no legs with which to kick.
4. There was some sort of construction or repairs being done to the pavement on the other side of the road, so Max's friend could not have been there.

Edit:
I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils
O red fruit, Ivory, fine timber!
The loaf's big with it's yeasty rising
Money's new minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples
Boarded the train there's no getting off.
