CURSE YOU BATMAN!!!

Umm....Try and solve this, Batman!

I have eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear, and nerves but cannot feel.

What Am I?
A verse from the bible?

Seriously though, I have no idea.

I present as a counter riddle -
I have two U.S. coins that add up to fifty-five cents. One is not a nickel. What coins are they?

I want to say a vegetable garden (eyes on a potato, ears of corn), but the "nerves" part is throwing me off.

Nope, sorry Batman.

Is your riddle two quarters?

Two quarters would only add up to 50c, so no.

Oh, I read it wrong. XP

Well then, Batman are they the extremely rare 27.5 cent coins?! (I'm just guessing now.)

IMO, the mother/surgeon question is a pretty good brainteaser, but it doesn't really prove sexism. People just form a mental image of a male surgeon, then they picture a man saying "I won't operate on my son." Confusion results.

Without further ado:
If a dude can bench press 100 pounds on Earth, how much weight can he bench on the moon?

A mute walks into a general store, goes up to the manager, and makes a motion like he is brushing his teeth. The manager realizes that he wants a toothbrush, and hands him one. Later a blind man walks into the store. How does he convey that he wants some sunglasses?
Blind guy asks for them. Moon guy benches 800?

Terry Schiavo.

My riddle: You and 99 other people are being taken to some evil mastermind's lair, where each of you will be put in a line and have either a black hat or a white hat placed on your head. In the line, each of you can see all the people in front of you, but not any of the people behind you. The mastermind will start at the back of the line and go through the line asking each person for their hat color. Everyone who answers correctly will be freed; everyone who answers incorrectly will be shot. What's your best strategy?

No, The_AC got it right though.

One is a Half dollar and the other is a Nickel.

Only one of the coins is not a Nickel.

Moving on...

You are a bus driver. At the first stop of the day, eight people get on board. At the second stop, four get off, and eleven get on. At the third stop, two get off, and six get on.

At the fourth stop, thirteen get off, and one gets on. At the fifth stop, five get off, and three get on. At the sixth stop, three get off, and two get on. What color are the bus driver's eyes?

Ask the guy behind you what color the hat is?

And mine was supposed to be a corpse, but I guess that works too.

For me, it'd be brown, since I'm the driver.

I see I made that one too easy.

How about...

A clerk in a butcher's shop is five foot ten. What does he weigh?

I have a few:

What can you put in a barrel to make it lighter?

A plane leaves for Vancouver from Toronto. It crashes over Calgary. Where are the survivors buried?

An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower wins. After wandering aimlessly for days, the brothers ask a wise man for guidance. Upon receiving the advice, they jump on the camels and race to the city as fast as they can.
What did the wise man say to them?

I should expand a bit: you're not allowed to talk after the hats are placed on your heads, but you can hear what the people behind you say and whether they were right.

Oh, and I'm aware that I'm a terrible person.

You can put a hole in the barrel, you don't bury survivors and the wise man told them to switch camels.

Correct!

Your last good ping-pong ball fell down into a narrow metal pipe embedded in concrete one foot deep.
How can you get it out undamaged, if all the tools you have are your tennis paddle, your shoe-laces, and your plastic water bottle, which does not fit into the pipe?
