Groaner of the Week:
A string walks into a pub and the barman goes, "Sorry, we don't serve strings here."
The string walks out all sad and defeated, then has a great idea. He ties himself in a bow, cuts off his ends to look all pretty, and struts back into the bar.
The barman looks at him and goes, "Hey, aren't you that string I turned away before?" and the string goes, "Nope! I'm a frayed knot!"

True or false, the average brain generates enough electricity that it could power a microwave?

Brain Teasers:
Last week’s brain teaser was: 14 kids in the class are girls. 8 of the kids wear blue shirts. 2 of the kids are neither girls or wear a blue shirt. If 5 of the kids are girls who wear blue shirts, how many kids are in the class?
Answer: 19
This week’s Brain Teaser:
The water level in a reservoir is low but doubles every day. It takes 60 days to fill the reservoir. How long does it take for the reservoir to become half full?

Conas a bhí do lá? (Munster)
Cén chaoi a raibh do lá? (Connaught)
