Not that I'm aware of.

It is, however, probably illegal for his widow's sister to marry him.

I've read it carefully. If you consider the nuances of the situation, I think my interpretation is the correct one.

Oh, I think I understand what you said now. If we are understanding each other, then you are correct.

Indeed - it's a subtle but important difference.

I like the new av BTW. :)

A man can't marry his widow's sister because he'd be dead, which is why the women is a widow in the first place.

Ok got one.

A tribble and a Wookie walk into a bar. They sit at a table waiting for their drinks.
They get into an argument over who has more fur. The Wookie claims that he has more fur because he is bigger.
What does the tribble claim?

She's pregnant and has fur on the inside?
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

The tribble has more per square inch?

God, I'm grasping with that one...

I like the AV, Stitch. Very nice. :D

Well, good answers, but no.
Tribbles can't talk.
They can only say "Purr" and "Squeeekk."

(I know, stupid. Actually, Both of your answers were very interesting, and could be correct answers to my now pathetic riddle.)
