Literally, with a three foot stick! And I had lost all intention of studying, so I just wanted to annoy him.

[paleonaps]

No.

Yes.

He had more than one of every breed.

Paleonaps is lying dead in the middle of a clearing, in the middle of a forest, in the middle of a puddle, in a scuba suit. How did he die?

The prices were different- the golden retriever was the most expensive, and I paid with ten ones so the clerk knew what I wanted. Though I'm not a big pet person.

Good job!
Now to reiterate: What 4 letter word can have 3 letters taken away and mean the same thing?

none -> o, which = 0 = nothing.

Here's a new one:
After arguing with her husband, an angry wife shoots him, holds him under water for more than 5 minutes, and finally hangs him, for good measure. An hour later, they have forgiven each other and enjoy a romantic dinner together. How is this possible?

[paleonaps]

It works.
And zz, as for our earlier argument:

[zyzzyva980]

Nope. Don't exist. Sorry. Paleonaps is stuck on a deserted island. There is a bridge to connect the island to the mainland. Halfway across the bridge there is a guard. The guard will not let anyone from the mainland to the island, or anyone from the island to the mainland. If the guard catches someone, he sends him or her back. The guard sleeps for 30 seconds and then is awake for 5 minutes. The island is surrounded by man-eating sharks, and paleonaps does not have anything with him except for his own shirt and his pants. It takes him 1 minute to cross the bridge. How does he cross the bridge without getting caught?

Last one about paleonaps for now.

Yep, although why an angry wife would take pictures of her husband, I have no idea.

He starts to cross right before the guard falls asleep, reaches him right as he wakes up, then shoves him off the bridge and crosses the rest of the way.
