Skew lines, by definition, are not on the same plane. If they intersected, then they would be on the same plane.

[ The previous answerer got these two backwards. It is possible for two lines on the same plane to not intersect.]

Absolutely FALSE.
Skew lines by definition never intersect and thus cannot be in the same plane.
