But I mean, "stand"? I don't see how that really fits in with being locked out, I do not think that would be a good way to express it. But whatever, we'll hae to get hold of Carloseus and get him to answer these soon.

43. A man wakes from his slumber and reads the morning paper, walks upstairs, turns on a light and then shoots himself.
Why did he kill himself?
45. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood.

did any1 answer my riddle on the king and the prisoner with the marbles?
17. A king decided to let a prisoner try to escape the prison with his life. The king placed 2 marbles in a jar that was glued to a table. One of the marbles was supposed to be black, and one was supposed to be blue. If the prisoner could pick the blue marble, he would escape the prison with his life. If he picked the black marble, he would be executed. However, the king was very mean, and he wickedly placed 2 black marbles in the jars and no blue marbles. The prisoner witnessed the king only putting 2 black marbles in the jars. If the jar was not see-through and the jar was glued to the table and that the prisoner was mute so he could not say anything, how did he escape with his life?
hmm i guess not, then that is two unanswered riddles then

well, this took a lot of thinking for #17, but i think the answer is:
When the man was allowed to choose the marble, he took it out but did not show anyone. Then when everyone looked inside the jar and saw that there was a black marble, they assumed he had a blue marble, and let him go.
