AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a riddle involving twins Jack and John, who were born in a hospital named May in February. The riddle suggests that when Jack was 30, he legally married his mother, leading to confusion about the implications of this relationship. Participants clarify that Jack and John likely had different mothers, and the term "mother" refers to the woman who gave birth, not implying incest. There is also mention of Jack being a priest, which allows for marriage, and the idea that this scenario could involve a non-traditional family arrangement, such as surrogacy. The conversation touches on the nuances of language and the potential for misinterpretation in riddles, with some humor about the evolving nature of such brain teasers.

Jack and John are twins, (They're each the other one's twin, we'll say they're identical.) Jack was born in May. John was born in February. [hmm, usually the next part is: When Jack was 20 John was 20 too, (sounds like 22, hence the riddle) but it doesn't work when i spell it... awell...] When Jack was 30 he legally married his mother.

How is all that possible?

Jack and John were born in May Hospital in the month of February. Jack became a priest[/color]
 
In white-> Sounds like a case of rent a womb going on here.
Mother, in the sense of the woman who gave birth, would not be related in any way.
And it seems likely that Jack and John would have had different "mothers".

That's INCEST...

Bartholomew got it...Though that priest should be orthodox.They're allowed to marry.To sue.To every chick in town.

Daniel.
 
ya Bartholomew's right. You can also say May is a town in texas... its a town in quite a few states actually. but you get the idea. And it's not incest, he become a priest and marries his mother to an other man.

But, I think technology has caught up with your brain teaser. :-p
 
Every day we learn new things. Sometimes it's just a small fact or realization. No matter how trivial or random, let's start recording our daily lessons. Please start off with "Today I learned". Keep commentary to a minimum and just LIKE posts. I'll start! Today I learned that you clean up a white hat by spraying some cleaner with bleach on it (rinse before putting it back on your head!)
