Some Riddles

These riddles are a lot easier than the last one I posted.

Here's One:

Harry was 20 years old in 1980, but only 15 years old in 1985. How is this possible?

Here's the second one:

Once there was a man, he lived in a apartment. The apartment was 40 stories high, the man lived on the 30th floor. He worked everyday in town. 

On sunny days the man comes back to the apartment after a days work, but he only goes up the elevator to the 8th floor and walks the rest of the way up the stairs to his floor. 

But on rainy days he comes back to the apartment after the days work, and goes up the elevator all the way to his floor. Why Does He Do This?

Funny Stories

Here are some funny stories that I picked up from a Camp that I went to last week.

Here they are:

Party

One Saturday night at a guy’s home, there was a really big party there were more than 50 people there. 
Around midnight the owner of the property said “I’ll give one million dollars to whoever jumps into the pool with the crocodile in it and wrestle it, and come back out of the pool alive” when he was still saying this he heard a splash. 
When he turned around there was a guy in the pool wrestling for his life, it was so cool. 
The crowd was cheering for him, finally the guy came out still in one piece, it was so amazing that the guy beat the crocodile. 

The owner came up to the guy and said “I’ll keep to my word and give you the million” 

“I don’t want it” said the guy the owner said “I will give you half a million then”  

“I don’t want any money” 

“Then what do you want” 
"I want the drop kick that pushed me in"

 

The Very Bad Conductor

There was once a very bad bus conductor. This conductor was so bad at doing his job that people missed their stations, he brought the wrong tickets for people, and those people got lost and cranky at the conductor. Any way one day this man missed his station so he jumped out the window, and got ran over by the buses rear wheel. 

Now the conductor was in trouble, they took him away to jail and he was sentenced to get the electric chair. 

They asked him if he wanted any last thing, he said “I wouldn’t mind a Bosc Pear” so they went looking for this pear, they finally found this Bosc Pear. They gave it to the bad conductor that was in the electric chair, after he ate it they turned the power on but the conductor just sat they not even yelling. 

After they stopped it he was still alive, they got the chair checked by the best electrician in Australia.

After he checked it and said, it was fine now. They strapped the conductor back into it and asked him if he wanted any last things before he died, he said “I wouldn’t mind another one of those Bosc Pears, so they went and got another one of this pear. 

After he ate it, they strapped him in and started it up, still the conductor didn’t die, this was so weird. They asked him “Does this Bosc Pear give people life” the conductor said “No I just like those Pears, I didn’t die because I’m a bad conductor”.

There are the stories.

Hope you like them.

The other day we went to a place about an hour away from our house.

And at the place we went to this so cool park, I mean the best park I've ever see.

Here are some picture's of it:


Big climbing thing

A turn table thing (that makes people dizzy)


Big slide


Platforms to get to the slide


Little kids slide and over things

Wednesday Photo

It is Wednesday Photo day today

Grace is the judge for this week, so look at her blog for the rules if you want to join.

Here is my photo:

A Beautiful Butterfly

every single process of installing a pool

Last week the pool people came and started to dig

Removing the grass 

 Hit sand-stone, lots of it

 

Big problem

Their little jack-hammer could not get through the sand-stone

See there is still lot's of sand-stone, and it's still not deep enough

 

So we called in a massive excavator with a jack-hammer to remove the sand-stone

Here it is with the sand-stone removed enough for the pool to go in  

Most of the dirt that came out of the hole 

All of the sand-stone that came out of the hole

Removing a little bit of sand-stone with their hand jack-hammer 

Putting a nice bed for the pool to rest on

The bed levelled out

Now the most exciting part, putting the pool in

Lifting the pool off the ground

Nearly there

Lowering it in the hole

Finally it's in

Making sure it's level

Installing the lights

Putting water in her

With the water in her and all the back-filling is done (back-filling is when they put sand all around the outside of the pool)

Now they just have to cement it, put paver's on the top of the pool and install the pump.
