Nice remark ^^ and uhm, you're on a pc with internet during English class? :s Lucky you Since the question is, how many lizards are there IN the ceiling, the answer should be none, because they're ON the ceiling :s Tricky riddle but nice ^^ Edited November 13, 2008 by Maggi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
