1. Mrs. Johnson slept on a waterbed. Her assailant used the scissors to cut the bed open and drown her.
2. It was a girl's hockey team.
3. Neither. Contrary to what most people think, the first day of the 21st century will be January 1, 2001, not January 1, 2000. The beginning of a century will start with the year one, not the year zero.
4. The word short.
5. All of them.

Todays wonderfull ?'s >
1. In Hawaii, if you drop a steel ball weighing five pounds from a height of 45 inches, will it fall more rapidly through water at 20 degrees Fahrenheit or water at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Or will it make no difference?
2. How many grooves are there on each side of a standard 33 1/3 record album that has six songs on each side?
3. What is the value of one-half of two-thirds of three-quarters of four-fifths of five-sixths of six-sevenths of seven-eighths of eight-ninths of nine-tenths of one thousand?
4. Duncan Drivel thought it might be nice to join the army, so he went to the local library to find a book on volunteers. While walking along the rows of books, he sees one with VOLIX written on its spine. How should the title of this book be pronounced?
5. There is a town in Northern Ontario where 5 % of all the people living in the town have unlisted phone numbers. If you selected 100 names at random from the town's phone directory, on average, how many of these people selected would have unlisted phone numbers?
6. If seven people meet each other and each shakes hands only once with each of the others, how many handshakes will there have been?
Good luck

1) Significant difference. It will depend on the thickness of the ice. LOL!
2) One
3) One hundred I think (just thought it out fast working backward is the trick)
4) "Volume Nine"
5) LOL! none... they're listed. (I know that town)
6) (Six today? I'm working up a sweat) 6+5+4+3+2+1= 7*3 = 21
