Here's my riddle: While exploring the wilds of Canada Wild Man Dave was captured by hostile wood fairies. Brad the powerful chief of the fairies told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die. If the statement he made was false he would be boiled in water. If the statement were true he would be fried in oil. Wild Man Dave found neither of this options too his liking so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation. What is the one statement he could have made?
That's actually a common riddle now But it's more of a brain teaser...

Well, if the statement is false, he'd be boiled in water, so he says 'I will be boiled in water,' because, if what he says is false, then he'd be boiled in water, making the statement true, but if the statement is true, he'd be fried in oil, making the statement false, so he should be boiled in water, but that would make the statement true, so he should be fried in oil, but that would make the statement false... you see, it's a vicious, life-saving circle.

What's greater than God and more evil than the devil, poor people have it and rich people need it, Blind people can see it and if you eat it you will die?

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. — Ann Landers
