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.

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 :)

I said that,"that 'that' that that man wrote should have been underlined".

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..
