[Mentalist]

was it because her rosebush was the closest to the alley in the garden, suggesting that she's been planted last?

[frookenhauer]

The ground looked all dug up?

[Obdigore]

no.

[Giles]

Possibly it had been snowing that night and one bush had snow undernetah it suggesting it hadnt been there when it was snowing

[Mentalist]

this sounds really obvious, but was hers the only one that could talk?

A black dog is sleeping in the middle of a black road that has no streetlights and there is no moon. A car coming down the road with its lights off steers around the dog. How did the driver know the dog was there?

And now im off to sleep, so just post another one if a sensible answer is given

[Obdigore]

Its the Day.

A doctor and a bus driver are both in love with the same woman, an attractive girl named Sarah. The bus driver had to go on a long bustrip that would last a week. Before he left, he gave Sarah seven apples. Why?

[Slum]

an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

[Minterlint]

Because and apple a day keeps the doctor away.

What goes up but never goes down?

Edit: Curses, foiled again. Beaten by a slum.

Your age!

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

if you can remove any letter you want in a random order, it could be a number of words, as long as they contain either A or I, which are the only single-letter words there are in the English language...I think.

am I right in assuming this?

[eekwibble]

There are a few nine letter words like that and even a ten letter word.

Would I be right in thinking that 'startling' is what you are looking for though?

Startling
Starting
Staring
String
Sting
Sing
Sin
In
I


Stringier also works

Stringier
Stingier
Stinger
Singer
Singe

I see you've figured out how to use the Google on the internet machine:P

[eekwibble]

Haha, yeah. But it's an oldie that remember from school. 1 brainbox came to our next English class with whole A4 sheet of 9 letter words, broken down in steps to single letter words. He didn't have many friends.

[frookenhauer]

He'd come in handy now...and I bet he is probably some hotshot lawyer that if he ever gets you in his sights its death to eekwibble time...Every dog has its day

[eekwibble]

Probably. I think he wanted to be an astrophysicist though. o.0

Well assuming one of those is correct, here's an easy one to go on with;

What can be driven but has no wheels, sliced but never eaten?
