@Beedobi can i answer this
even though it might not be the correct or accepted answer

Absolutely, don't leave us hanging.

A raven is like a writing desk because Poe wrote on both

If you don't get it, he wrote his work using a writing desk and also wrote the story "The Raven"

I vaguely remember reading this in a book back in school. I just remember part of it was academic or something. Ie, it was hard to answer then, probably even harder now given that no one reads old books.

Quothe the Raven...Nevermore!

Here's one, it might be obvious...
What gets shorter as it gets longer?

That's a great answer, and sort of right

You're right, this is from Alice in Wonderland (which I read last year).

Anyone else have an answer or shall I put you all out of your misery?

Life... The longer you live the sooner you die.

@_Confederacy_ Life... The longer you live the sooner you die.

Gg. I better step up my game

I guess that means I'm next...

What tool gets sharper the more you use it?
(Should be obvious)

@argonFiles Your mind

Yes :P

Anotha one.

A man lives on the 50th floor of a building. When coming home from work, he uses the elevator to get to the 15th floor and then uses the stairs to climb up to the 50th floor.
Why is this?

Is it because he can't reach the buttons?

That could count as an answer but it doesn't fully explain why he can't so I need another answer.

Well, I'm assuming the man is short, and therefore can only reach the elevator buttons up to 15. So he gets off at 15 and walks the rest of the way.

what if hes short, near sighted, and doesnt like his glasses so he can only see up to button 15 which means that he has to walk after that

Alright, here we go...
Inside a house, a wife shoots her husband in the head. She then proceeds to completely submerge the head underwater for an hour and then hangs the head up on a rope to dry. 20 minutes later, she walks in a party accompanied by her living husband. How is this possible?

It could be a different couple. It was never specified if it was the same woman accompanied by her husband.

It is the same couple try again

Nope

She is a photographer

*The man's wife is a photographer*

@NutjobBob Anyone else have an answer or shall I put you all out of your misery?

It looks like the thread took off without getting the answer to this. Plz lay it on us.

@TheSpiderman2013 She is a photographer

Can you explain into further detail?

@BoneChi11er Can you explain into further detail?

She "shot" her husband, with a camera.
She "submerged" the photo.
She then hung the photo to dry.

Congrats, that be correct.

The man who made it, sold it.
The man who bought it, never used it.
The man who used it, never knew it.
What is it?

Idk how common this is so shush.
