Yes folks, I'm THIS bored.

Here's a riddle:

What can't named without breaking it?

Might be kind of easy for most, but here's some more easy ones:

1) What looses a head in the morning, and gains a head in the evening?

2) What word if pronounced right is wrong and if pronounced wrong is right?

3) What is at the beginning of eternity and ends space & time?

4) This Creature is part man & part tree, he hates termites as much as the flea, his tracks do not match, his limbs may detach, but he's not a strange creature to see

If you can be bothered, have geuss, and feel free to post your own riddles / jokes.

Depends how dark it is. Only in pitch-blackness will it be possible to mistake the whites for any other; in any other case, only 2 socks need be pulled out to get a pair of whites.
