A man lives on the penthouse(top floor) of an apartment building. Each day he goes to work at 7 o'clock, using the elevator outside his apartment. When he comes back from work at 5 o'clock, he can only travel halfway up the floors with the elevator and must walk the rest of the way, unless there is someone else in the lift or unless it's raining. Why?
Because he's too small to reach the top button without either getting someone else to do it or poking it with his umbrella.
Damn it....You're right....

Ok, try this one:
"A man walks into a bar and orders a glass of water. The bartender takes out a gun and points it at the man. The man simply says thanks and leaves the bar. Why?"

Try this one.
He had a hickup. The bartender noticed it from his talking and healed him with the shock.

A man eats dinner, goes up to his bedroom, turns off the lights, and goes to sleep. In the morning, he wakes up and looks outside. Horrified at what he sees, he hurls himself out his window to his death.

Why does he do this?

Try this one.
He had hiccups and the gun scared him.

Who is phone? (Inside joke between a bunch of blokes I know on skype.)
Dude, "who was phone" is a five year old meme from 4chan.

if you divide by zero do you get infinity?

what are your chances of doing anyhting if doing that one thing is zero chance but how is it zero if you can do it?
Dividing by zero is impossible. Think of it this way:
8 pieces of pie between 8 people= 8/8= 1 piece of pie for each person
8 pieces of pie between 0 people= 8/0= 8 pieces of pie between noone...
therefore there is noone for the pie to shared between and thus is undefined.

As with the second one you cannot do it because your chance is zero. You cannot, but someone else might be able to, giving you a point of reference.

Your trapped in a room with Justin Beiber, Miley Cirus, both are having a karaoke contest, and you have only one bullet in your revolver. What to do?
Shoot one of them then beat the other to death with the empty gun and your bare hands.
Pick the lightest one. Kill the lightest one with the bullet. Kill the remaining irritant with the lightest one (wield like a baseball bat).
You shoot yourself, obviously.

Why does pain hurt?

I either get a strange look or "because it does". I still dunno why it hurts, or what pain even is. I feel pain, but I have no idea why it hurts me, or what "hurt" is. Ah fuck, I'm just diving by zero here.
Pain is the body's way of telling you that there's something wrong and that you need to do something about it.

Gah! Defeated again! I need to think of new riddles...

As for your question:

I thought for more than 1 hour about this one. My answer is that he lives in a light house or power station. When he turned off the lights, something bad happened. Either the city turned into a disaster or a ship crashed. When he saw this, he couldn't live with the guilt and killed himself. I'm probably wrong, but it's worth a try.

As I explained earlier in the thread. There are number systems where 8/0 is defined and gives infinity as the answer.

Infinite + Infinite = ???
Infinite's not a number.
Actually there are many number systems where infinity is a number, and infinity + infinity = infinity.

here's one i heard of quite a while ago.

Are we human, or are we really advanced AI simulating human life?
