Angst Probing Boys Mature,
A rope ladder hangs over the side of a ship. The rungs are 9 inches apart. At low tide, the bottom rung just touches the water. At high tide, the water has risen 3 feet. How many rungs are under water at high tide?

If the boat is floating, the distance remains unchanged, as the boat rises with the water (thanks, Seth).
But if the boat has actually run aground and taken on water, and thus not rising with the tide, then four rungs should ve submerged; the next should be just touching the water.
Unless the 9-inch distance does not include the thickness of the rungs themselves, in which case, the fifth rung could be also under water, too.

You must mean apart from our very own pin up girl Cali? Well, celebrity crush would be Melanie Sykes and real life would be a girl called Elizabeth who (or is that whom?) I work with. I asked her out but she very politely changed the subject...I took that as a no.
In a bar I was once given the knock back, "I've allready got one arsehole in my knickers, I don't need another one!" So in the same vein:
Amazing Party, Big Mick,
What was the best/worst knock back you've ever had?

Can't think of any. The closest is when I gave my nephew "Kings in Diguise" that I had bought for myself. Not technically regifting as I didn't get it as a gift.

I've never seen Starsky and Hutch, TV or movie, so I answered Quis instead (weve been covering the 'guays in Geography of South America in the last week or two. Paraguay sounds like the more preferable of the two).
Atlanta Police Brigade Member,
Starsky or Hutch?
