I have. But I didn't see anything about not answering if you've heard it before, so let me know if you want to make that a rule.

No, I don't care...  It usually just takes a few questions before...

You're up with the next puzzle.

No, I don't care...  It usually just takes a few questions before somebody solves it.  But it is a chestnut, after all...

A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

Um...the room with the lions cause they all died of starvation years ago.

What were the people in the balloon doing? Escaping from East Germany? I saw a cool movie where this family escapes from East Germany in a balloon...

The whole "jump so the balloon doesn't crash" thing is about the stupidest thing I've heard all week... If a balloon is going down, so what? Land it and walk!

...

What's a "chestnut" anyway?

All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

I saw that movie too.  Disney put it out.  A heart warming show about illegal immigrants.  :)

A chestnut is a riddle that everybody has heard of before.  It's a 'classic'...

Let's pick something really arbitrary, like 19.38 minutes.

Sorry, it took me so long to respond...I guess.

Here on earth it is true, yesterday is always before today; but there is a place where yesterday always follows today. Where?

Yes, it was that easy.

The encyclopedia? That would be an interesting encyclopedia. Just what would an entry for "tomorrow" look like.
