My nephew posited that if the earth was traveling at the high rate of speed that it is then how come when he jumps straight up the earth doesn't move ten feet under him? I just gave him a look. He's a freshman in college asking this.
He is a great man of science.
Ask him next, that if a woman weighs more than a duck, if she’s a witch? After all, witches are made of wood.
And wood floats, and very small rocks and ... a DUCK!
Then there is Mensa.
Mensa, as you probably know, is a national organization for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher.
One day, several Mensa members went out for lunch at a local café.
When they sat down, one of them discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper, and their pepper shaker was full of salt.
How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any, and using only the implements at hand?
Clearly, this was a job for the mighty Mensa minds.
The group debated the problem and presented ideas and finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer.
They called the waitress over ready to dazzle her with their solution.
"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker has pepper."
But before they could finish, the waitress interrupted: “Oh, sorry about that."
She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both shakers and switched them.
There was dead silence at the Mensa table.
