521568 2007-02-01 06:05:00 Think fast: There's an electric train traveling south. The wind is from the north-west. In which direction would the smoke from the train be blowing?

What is it that by losing an eye has nothing left but a nose?

What has a foot on each end and one in the middle?

At the hardware store I was quoted 12 cents for one, 24 cents for 50, and 36 cents for 144. I wanted six. What was I buying and how much did it cost me?

Have fun...

If the train had a microsoft-supplied control system, it would never have left the platform before bursting into flames.

2]
a noise

3]
a yard

24 cents and you would have 44 left over.

521571 2007-02-01 06:50:00 wrong.

1 is no smoke, it's electric.
2 is correct
3 i don't know (assuming it's correct if 1 yard = 3 feet)
4 12c, you're buying numbers.

Edit: Snap on 1.

What do these words have in common: age, blame, curb, dance, evidence, fence, gleam, harm, interest, jam, kiss, latch, motion, nest, order, part, quiz, rest, signal, trust, use, view, win, x-ray, yield, zone?

A man is asked what his daughters look like. He answers, "They are all blondes, but two, all brunettes, but two, and all redheads, but two." How many daughters did he have?

Don't know about "in common", but each word starts with a different letter of the alphabet, going up from A to Z.
