solids with low m.p's (actually sublimation)
lol, that gives the answer away though

Ice ?

[amphoteric88]

no, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide)
it sublimes at a low temp (changes straight from solid to a gas)
the reason you need the vent is to get rid of the carbon dioxide gas (which can be deadly in enclosed spaces)
if it was ice, you wouldn't need the vent, and there would be ice on the floor as you said
well done though

That had me going for a second, but of course, if it was made b.c. someone would have had to be clairvoyant to know that C. was going to be born in 44 years !

lol, yep, got it again
how many birthdays does the average american male have?

[Riddler]

Any ideas re; the hobo and the cigars ?

[amphoteric88]

lol, very good
edit: added this:
A man leaves home running as fast as he can. He turns left, runs some more, turns left again, runs some more, and turns left again. He is now running towards home and he sees two men in masks standing near home. What's happening?

I know this guy, he should have stopped at third ! Someone at a party introduces you to your mother's only sister's husband's sister-in-law. He has no brothers. What do you call this lady ?
