If it's 0 degrees today and the weatherman says it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, what will it be?

OK....If I had a baby boy now, then 1 year or so later my mum and Dad had a baby girl, what relation would my boy be to their girl? My mum and dad's grandson will be older than one of their own children!

It's not exactly a riddle - it just makes you think.

It's more of a statement then a question.

Correct. It's a statement.

Now decipher what's wrong with it.

Did I not explain myself properly?

I'll try and re-word it.

People say that if you dream you're about to die, it will actually happen. But this cannot be the case.

Why not?

Huh???

I didn't say "dream you are about to fall asleep."

I said "dream you are about to die in your sleep."

Try again. :wink:

Oh dear.

It's logic. Honestly.

Answer:

If I dreamt a banana fell on my head in my sleep and then it really happened, how would you know that banana dreams came true?

Because I woke up and told you.

But if I'm dead, how can I wake up to tell you I just dreamt I was about to die in my sleep?

:wink:
