Ahh this is great. Even if the answers are wrong, the replies certainly provide some comic relief.

Mouhahaha?

Well, I couldn't wait a few hours. I already posted a new one.  :)


Oh, and for the record, I rather enjoyed Eddy's response.  :heh:  Too good.


Siqueule, I think I finally got what you're trying to say. I think I'm a little disturbed here. Man, talk about bad habits....  :whistle:

sister of the convent
As in nuns. I guess that would mean that the "sister" of one brother doesn't have any kind of relation to the other brothers. Of course, if you're calling a nun "sister", well... they're kinda a "sister" to everyone. So that doesn't seem to get around the issue very well.

Edit:
Hmm, new page of posts...





Don't want this being too visible.






I shouldn't comment on answers where the vote options are visible.  <_<







</edit>


Heh, I think that's kinda the point. That 14 option is sorta all too obvious for the people who try to answer too quickly.

And then there is the 7 option for the people who realize the trick, get excited and answer but have already forgotten about the parents.  ;)
