Metalhead and Kash got this one wrong though Metalhead was close  :D

mate.. I tell yers #2 is Islam or is Osman already a muslim? :D

well he has a Muslim name so he has to be a Muslim to begin with :D

He's a mormon.

Then he'd be called Osmand  :D

2) A boy has a peculiar quirk; he repeats everything he hears. However, when his father said dinner was at six, the boy said nothing. Why?

1:  :D  That one has to be the fact that  "the alphabet" consist of 11 leters, so true at all times.

2: He probably didn't hear his father say it.

:nod  shall draw up the table soon. im pretty sure you're in the top 10 now.

Had to read this a good few times before I got it (I think). My crack at it anyway. Head hurts now :)

Another one. Why is it when you have money, people offer to lend you it, but when you need it, not a helpful soul can be found?

because they know that when you have money, you are able to pay them back while when you're broke, you're unable to. i guess..
