The scream isn't cos the other one's going to fall on top of him, is it? 
Chicken joke, yes, very funny... I live for the cheesy ones, I dunno why I didn't get it, lol.

LoL, Im. Well, basically, the 22nd-storey guy screamed all the way down till he hit the ground and died. The other probably hit the ground before he could open his mouth, realised he had broken a limb or two, and started yelling his head off. At least that's my conclusion... Any more riddles?

I'll just be grateful if I knew what came first: the chicken or the egg!!!

In my opinion, it'd have to be the egg. I mean, the egg could be a hybrid of two species or something, but to look at it logically... - if chicken came first, possible history = hybrid of two species. but to get this hybrid, there'd have to be an egg where it's hatched out from, right? - on the other hand, if egg came first, possible history = egg is a cross-breed of two species! then it'd hatch into a chicken... I mean, where'd you get the chicken from anyway?  |

I'd say the egg as well, but here's the reasoning (without any sense at all) for why it would be the chicken:
Chickens are birds and birds lay eggs in order to reproduce. Meanwhile, almost all mammals give birth by the means of offspring. What if chickens used to be mammals?
But it's still the egg!

I guess you've all heard about the Columbia Space Shuttle thing. Do you know what NASA stands for now?

Sorry to say but - WRONG!
Hint: Think comical. This is a joke which is NOT official.

(Dear flipping fudge, you started a chicken-egg arguement. Oi vay.)
I have no clue for the NASA joke. Due to the recent tragedy though, I dunno if it's a good idea to make jokes about it.

Need. Another. Seven. Astronauts.

(People know the risks when they join companies like NASA, though it's still a shock when this sort of thing happens. I hope they find out what went wrong so the situation can be avoided in future.)
Okay, probably time to move on.
A miller and his family were on the verge of eviction from their home. The landlord was willing to let them stay without having to pay rent, on the condition that he could marry the miller's daughter Trudy. The landlord being so old and mean, Trudy naturally didn't like this idea. But in order to save her family's home, she offered a comprimise.
"We will put one white pebble and one black pebble in a bag. I will take one from the bag without looking. If it is black, I'll marry you. But if it's white, you will let my family stay in their home without me having to marry you."
The landlord agreed. They went to a stony path made up of black and white pebbles, where he selected two and put them in the bag. But Trudy saw that he had cheated and picked up two black pebbles.
She could expose him to the other townspeople present, but this would make the landlord look like a fool in front of them, therefore envoking his anger and losing any chance of keeping the house. But if she takes a pebble from the bag, it will be black and she'll be forced to marry him.
How can Trudy get out of this situation without marrying the landlord or losing the house?

She takes another bag which looks exactly like the one with the two black pebbles and puts two white ones in instead?

Nope there's only one bag. (It's a tricky one, and it sort of depends on the landlord wanting to keep face in front of the towenspeople.)
