Interestingly enough I was asked a load of riddles today. Here are the ones I remember.

A man attempts to marry his widows sister, is this legal?

In a bungalow, everything is painted purple, the windows, the floor, the curtains, everything. What colour are the stairs?

How many pairs of animals did Moses put on the Ark?

Is there a 4th of July in Britain?

How many months have 28 days?

The maker doesn't want it, the buyer doesn't use it, and the user doesn't see it, what is it?

No doubt the intelligent members of the Escapist will know the answers instantly =P, but it was worth a try.
