Two definitions for two different words will be given. These words will differ only by their vowels. To change a word, both adding a vowel and changing a vowel is allowed, as long as the consonants are the same and in the same order. For example, bust to beast can be an answer.
1. A sticky product of trees to a type of dried fruit
2. A black bird to a chasm
3. Round object to a fee
4. Part of the body below the leg to a great achievement
I’m called a man,
But I’ll never have a wife.
I was given a body,
But not given life.
They made me a mouth,
But I wasn’t given breath.
Water gives life,
And sun gives me death.
I am a set of 3 words, all with the same six letters.
First, I am a kingdom, though not royally so.
Then spell me backwards, and I become a thin plate.
Now rearrange my consonants, leaving my vowels in place …
I am now a type of paper.
A woman was found dead in her bedroom by her husband. Apparently, she had committed suicide by using her husband’s gun. She had recorded her last moments, along with a confession to her suicide. After the police listened to the tape, they immediately arrested her husband for murder.
On the tape, the police heard the woman’s confession followed by a gun shot. This was immediately followed by the sound of the tape recorder being stopped. Obviously, if the woman had shot herself, she wouldn’t have been able to stop the tape recorder!
One hot afternoon two friends were out relaxing on the back porch.
“Would you like some iced tea?” one man asked his friend.
“Oh yes, as long as it is good and cold.”
The host then brought his friend a large glass of iced tea and dropped two small ice cubes in it.
His friend took a sip and remarked, “It’s not very cold.”
“Give it a minute,” the host said.
The iced tea then appeared to start boiling. After a minute or so the ice melted, the boiling stopped, and the glass was ice-cold.
The man took a sip and thanked his friend for the very cool drink.
So what made the iced tea cool in this unusual way ?
The man put dry ice cubes in his friend’s drink. This gave it the appearance of boiling as the ice melted. This also super-cooled the drink in a short time.
It’s a great holiday party trick. Just don’t swallow the ice — very dangerous.
