1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms.
The first is full of raging fires,
the second is full of assassins with loaded guns,
and the third is full of lions that havent eaten in 3 years.
Which room is safest for him?
2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?
4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?
5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
6. This is an unusual paragraph. Im curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.

1. The lion who has not eaten for three years would be dead. Hence the safest room to go is the third one.
2. All this is happening in the woman's dream!
3. Place the jugs containig the water in the barrel itself. In this way the water wont mix and you can differentiate between them!
4. Coal Black when buy, Red hot when youuse, grey when exhausted!
5. Holiday(Sunday), New Year Eve(Monday), New Year day(Tuesday)! or Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.
4. The thing Unusual about it is that your question what is unusual is itself the paragraph which implies that your answer is in the question itself. Besides there is one tiny grammatical error in it. THERE ARE NO 'E's IN IT

1.The third room is safest with the dead lions.
2. She's a photographer. But in this day and age of digital cameras, it's not so usual for them to do the processing themselves (holding under water and hanging to dry..)
3. You would have to change the state of the water by perhaps freezing them.
4. Charcoal
5. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
6. Where are the E's in that paragraph?

hmm...
#1. The lions are dead.
#2. Hmm...a photographer.
#3. If you add a little salt to one jug of water and some food coloring, the density will be different and there will be a layer of colored water at the bottom and plain water at the top, therefore differentiating between the two jugs of water.
#4. A match or charcoal.
#5. Yesterday, today, tomorrow....or I guess July 1st, 2nd, 3rd
#6. There are no E's.

The lion room, because they've all starved to death. She's a photographer and she's working with a picture of her husband. Freeze one jug, and put the ice block into the barrel along with the water from the other jug. A match. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. There are no "e"s.
When you lift things from Uncle John's Bathroom Reader you should provide a cite. ;)
Best wishes and God bless.
