Can You Figure These Out?

1) A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three
rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years.
Which room is safest for him?

2) A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

3) What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

4) Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

5) This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it!
It is unusual though.
Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd.
But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.

Go ahead and try, I will give the answers in a couple of days

These are Chrissy's answers:
1) If the lions have not eaten for 3 years they are probably DEAD!
3) Tobacco is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away.
5) There is not an 'E' in the paragraph anywhere
We are still working on the other 2

4) Yesterday, today & tomorrow.

Tobacco isn't the right answer, or at least not the one I got with the teaser...

On number two, she shoots him with a camera and develops his picture, holding the film underwater and hanging it up to dry, right???

Well, TC cheated. He frequents the other board where I posted it, but he needs to learn how to spell tomorrow. LOL I guess it is all over now. At least I got everyone thinking about something else.
