I haven't read the entire thread (my brain stated to hurt

) so sorry if these have already been posted:

A plane carrying 50 english passengers and 50 french passengers is on it's way to france. The pilot has a heart attack while driving the plane and the plane crashes before the co pilot can take over. Tha plane crashes exactly half way to its destination. Where were the survivors buried?

A donkey is standing, tied by rope, exactly 5 meters away from a bale of hay. Without damaging the rope how can the donkey get to the bale of hay?

EDIT: I half remember one... but I don't know if this is the right wording,

Eve has two
Adam has none
Everyone has three
But in the whole of our planet, there's only one

[Because only one of the twins drank, as the other was just taking the time the one drinking took]

[You didn't say how long the rope is, so he could just walk there if the rope is long enough]

Well done Codger... I guess it works better when you say it.

[You don't bury survivors]

[The rope is only tied to the donkey, nothing else.]

Eve has two
Adam has none [BOOBS!]
Everyone has three

it begins every hope, every wish it must bound,
with the husbandman toils, and with monarchs is crowned.
without it the soldier, the seamen may roam,
but woe to the wretch who expels it from home!
in the whispers of conscience its voice will be found,
nor e'en in the whirlwind of passion be drowned.
'twill not soften the heart; but though deaf be the ear,
it will make it acutely and instantly hear.
yet in shade let it rest, like a delicate flower,
ah... breathe on it softly, - it dies in an hour.

[The letter H.] Many of the same type of riddles have been floating around in this thread. :)
