With a difference!! Some questions are not as they seem, so think very carefully!! And have a drink at the same time!! ;o))

1) The maker doesn't want it - the buyer doesnt use it - and the user doesn't see it! What is it? (COFFIN) 2) A child is born in Boston, Massachussetts, to parents who were both born in Boston, Massachussetts. The child is not an American citizen. How can this be possible?(BORN BEFORE 1776 BRITISH SUBJECT!) 3) Since 1066, the year of the Norman conquest, approximately how many kings have been crowned in England? (ONE - JAMES VI OF SCOTLAND _ ALL THE REST WERE DUKES OR PRINCES) 4) After the new Canon Law that took effect on November 27th 1983, would a Roman Catholic man be allowed to marry his widow's sister? (HE IS DEAD!!) 5) Everyone knows that both Christmas day and New Years day always fall on the same day of the week. However, in 1939, the year of the outbreak of World War II, Christmas fell on a Monday, and New Years fell on a Sunday. Why? (CHRISTMAS DAY AND NEW YEARS DAY ARE IN DIFFERENT YEARS!! 1939 was no different to any other!!!) 6) Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain on earth? (MOUNT EVEREST!) 7) If an airplane carrying the U.S. swim team crashed directly on the border between the United States and Canada, in which country would the survivors be buried? (SURVIVORS NOT DEAD!) 8) Two men were being tried for murder. The jury found one man guilty and the other innocent. The judge turned to the guilty man and said, 'Even though your guilt has been established, the law compels me to set you free' How could such a bizarre judgement occur? (SIAMESE TWINS)
