    Brain teaser...

    1) My maker does not want me, my buyer does not use me, and my user uses it without knowing it. What am I?

    2) I am black when you buy me, I am red while you use me, and I am grey when you throw me away. What am I?

    Lobster is red when you buy it and a pale orange color when you eat it... Did I mention anything at all about eating number two?

    How the hell can the first thing be coffein? I bought lots of coffein tables when I was younger, and used them in the weekends. Still uses coffein, and gurana in stressed and importents moments. It focuses me 100%. And isn't adictive like amfetamin....

    Why would a maker want a coffin? Why would the buyer buy his own coffin? How would the damned corpse know he was using the coffin?

    I love it when you see people complaning about how their lobster is "rotten".
    Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.
