<p>What is the most noble of animals?</p>

5

<p>Either humans, hippos,bears,or sharks.</p>

6

<p>None of those are correct. Rather than just listing off animals until you get it, it’d be good if you could actually think out and provide brief explanations for what makes them the most noble of animals.</p>

7

<p>Psssssshhhh, I’m lazy. :P</p>

8

<p>Lions: They “look” noble? (lame explanation)</p>

<p>Ants: They work in a network to provide food for eachother.</p>

<p>Bees: They are hard-working, and protect the queen bee.</p>

<p>Caterpillars: They become butterflies (stupid reason, just guessing)</p>

9

<p>^ ya thats what I was thinking</p>

10

<p>It’s a female cow.</p>

<p>Get it? Noble.
NO-BLE
NO-BULL</p>

<p>Which animal is the most NO-BULL.</p>

11

<p>What is once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years?</p>

12

<p>

None of these distinguish the animals as being particularly noble.</p>

<p>

Maybe it would work if it was a better pun. And wouldn’t any female be no bull? And the males of most species, too.</p>

13

<p>why did the cow cross the road?</p>

14

<p>To get to the other side.</p>

15

<p>no, to get to the udder side</p>

16

<p>Because the road crossed it.</p>

17

<p>

I understand.</p>

<p>

The letter m.</p>

<p>

A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Amal.” The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him “Juan.” Years later Juan sends a picture of himself to his Mom. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband she wishes she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, “But they are twins – if you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Amal.”</p>

<p>a riddle from harry poter</p>

<p>First think of the person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what’s always the last thing to mend,
The middle of middle and end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?</p>
