Hahaha xD good one

Okay, last one for today,

There is a house that has walls that all face south. Then a bear walks by, what color is the bear?

 

[brinny]

white?

 

[heirmiles]

yes, great answer, but why?

 

[brinny]

hahaaa it was a wild guess...i was thinkin' of the south pole and polar bears

 

[heirmiles]

Well, I guess that if you were seated precisely on the south pole in the house, all the interior walls would be facing south. but if the house was on the north pole then all the exterior walls would be facing south, meaning that the bear would most likely be a white polar bear. The problem with the house being on the south pole of course is that there wouldn't be any bears at all, only penguins.

oh, my turn? Ok...

Big as a biscuit, deep as a cup, even a river can't fill it up. What is it?

 

[heirmiles]

My first thought is the ocean, my second is the letter "u", my third is the Australian Bite (the southern part where it looks like someone was treating it like a cookie, or a "biscuit", which is the Australian word for "cookie") (which also makes me wonder if Australian computers have cookies or biscuits).

 

[brinny]

that's a lotta synapses goin' off in da stream o' consciousness, mon...sounds like me hahaa

but no.

 

[heirmiles]

Well I thought that if you saw it on a map, it would be the size of a cookie, and if you turn your head around, or the map, it is shaped like a cup, and then when you turn the map back around, the major river is pointed south or down, so the river can't fill it up because it's filling down.

I know, I'm rambling.....

 

[brinny]

hahaaaaaa interesting process though....

The human hand when it's closed into a fist?

 

[brinny]

hahaaa, good one, but no.

 

[heirmiles]

How about the human heart?

 

[brinny]

good one, but no

 

[heirmiles]
