A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?
I'll give the answer in a bit....

He asked for a true sentence. If the judge made it true, by sentencing him to 6 years, then his statement was made true by the judge. Then the judge had to sentence him to 4 years, to keep good on his promise of a true statement.
If he had decided to sentence him to 4 years, it would prove his statement wrong, wich means he would then in turn sentence him to 6 years because his statement was untrue. However in doing so, it contradicts what the judge said all together because he would be serving 6 years, wich was his "true statement" So caught in a catch 22, he let him go, wich was his only viable option after that.

And here I thought the answer was gonna be:
"I have proof you sleep with animals"
"I have proof you sleep with animals"
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.

It's more evil than the devil.
The poor have it.
The rich need it.
If you eat it, you'll die.

Ok, I have a brainteaser for you.
A man walks into a seaside restaurant.
He sits down at a table, and when the waitress comes, he orders raw albatross.
The waitress brings it to him, he takes one bite, goes outside, and kills himself.
Why?
(edit) oh, and you can ask yes/no questions to figure out the answer.
