Vehemence was standing in the post office looking at a 'wanted' poster. Someone asked him who the man in the poster was and Sam replied
"Brothers and sisters I have none, but this man's father is my father's son."
Whose picture was on the poster that Vehemence was looking at?
------------------------
Aegis was clearing out his old barn. He was dragging things out into the yard and filling containers with useless items he had collected over the years. At one point he rolled out an old barrel which weighed 20 kilogrammes. Aegis put something in the barrel and when he was finished, it weighed less. What could it have been?
-------------------------
Several hundred years ago, a band of explorers were embarking on a sea journey to the far north which would last for three weeks. During this time their staples would consist of crackers and dried meat. They could not cook aboard ship for fear of fire. When they arrived they planned a celebration of roast lamb. The problem they faced was keeping the meat fresh for three weeks. If they tied a rope to the meat and trailed it in the cold water, predator fish would eat it. If they took ice and snow with them to keep the meat cool, the ice and snow would melt and the ship would fill with water. How would they keep the meat freash until they arrived at their destination?
-------------------------
Leedogg, the famous magician, had a water glass that was filled to the top. Holding the glass above his head he let it drop to the carpet without spilling a single drop of water. How could Leedogg manage to drop the glass from a height of over six feet and not spill any water?
