Sounds like a case of me thinking the glass is half full and you thinking the glass is half empty

ANSWER (Congrats Hey and TL): 5+545=550 OR 545+5=550.

It is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the beginning of the end, and the end of every space. What is it?

That's not what you said. Adding the slash makes the statement mathematically true...therefore my answer is also correct (technically, not necessarily what you were shooting for).

new answer: the letter E

Depends on what you are drinking Hey! If it is Scotch or Brandy I never fill the glass more than halfway anyhow!!

Besides, I was just teasing you by twisting the correct answer that you already had given before I had the chance (for a change)...lol.

For the last riddle, I think Weasel's answer is on the button!

The package fell on his head?
