I used to tend bar and this is not a math puzzle, but fun for messing with the barflies when they've had a beer or 5 and start wanting to tell you their life story. First, as you pose the question, take out 3 coins (this only translates well using USA coins, one being a nickle, the other a penny, the third a quarter, dime or fifty cent piece) and state that "Johnny's Mom has 3 kids, the first one is named 'Penny,' (point to the penny) the second one is name is 'Nicky' (point to the nickle) and then point to the third coin (doesn't matter which you use) and ask What is the third child's name?" Then see how long it takes them to figure it out. And then whether or not they leave you a tip.

Dear Mrs. Bennett, my deepest condolences on your loss. I know that this is more than a day late and a dollar short (no pun intended), and some find this to be quite controversial, but there are alternative options for cancer patients including palliative care when the patients themselves are ready. In states where it is legal patients can seek medical marijuana not only for cancer treatment but for treatment of the pain and debilitating side-effects of chemotherapy and other (extremely costly) synthetic pharmaceutical medications. One site to check out for more information is: http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3376 Living in WI, US, we are currently lobbying to become the 15th state to pass legislation to this effect.

Yes, the beautiful 9th it was, and if you remember the end of the film he came full round to being able to listen to & enjoy it again...couldn't find the relevant quote for that part, will have to watch again.
And that's exactly what it's going to do -- the youth of Britain will identify ALL classical music as repugnant based on its use and the majority will want nothing to do with it. Indeed, they will want to see it burned.
or not..."It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Von."
I tried to approach this scientifically, so took a poll of those currently in residence, but only one would say "Be like the twenty-second elephant with heated value in space—bark!" even though they appear to be feline. I'm concerned and keeping my towel at the ready.
"The team then extracted a random subset, and put them in a new medium: ribozymes then competed with each other to consume as much of the medium as possible."
Sounds like my ex-boyfriend & his beer buddies.
