Crazy american Riddles

Hi!

I've got a friend who has to answer the following riddles:

1. What are several things you can always count on?
2. If five dogs are chasing a cat down the street, what time is it?
3. Which travels faster: heat or cold? why?
4. What is the difference between ignorance and apathy?
5. Who is safe when a man-aeting tiger is on the loose?

Can anyone please help me figure them out so I can help her?

thank you!

Are these riddles from Columbia or Colombia? You say that they're "American"?

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Hmmm 1) Solar calculator in the sun
2) Time to get a new cat
3) I thought you can catch a cold was it but I remember Tony Soprano saying you can catch heat (from the police) as well. I think I´ll wait for Christmas and see if we can get an answer from Mr. Heat-Miser.
4) Well they´re spelled differently.
5) Could be women if he only eats man, or the 2nd guy after the 1st guy was eaten because it´s a man eating tiger not men eating, or simply the guy who locked himself inside the tiger´s cage after the tiger got loose.

I would fill out the paper like this: 1. Jesus

2. Jesus

3. Jesus

4. Jesus

5. Jesus



I was channel surfing and a misty-eyed TV preacher told me the answer to everything is JE-SUS! ;-)

Tinto look at the glass of lulada in Antioqueñita's image gallery. Do you see the face of Jesus? Freaky man...
