I said one at a time!
@bobafett- No.
@jim- Another word for synonym is synonyme, which is a valid spelling.
Yes, you should believe a liar. If he is a liar, he is telling the truth. If not, he is lying, which makes him a liar.
The missing dollar is not missing at all of course. The patrons pay $10 each, $30. They are given back $5 which is $1.66666666667 each. They leave a tip of $2, which is $0.66666666667 each. The beer, if thats what they are buying, costs $25, plus a $2 tip equals $27. But they paid $30... The discrepancy lies in the divisions of 2 and 5 by 3. $1.66666666667-$0.66666666667 equals $1. $27 plus $1 each equals $30.
@cycovision no, you cannot undo your belly button and it is in no way connected to your bottom.

Try leaving your lights on! Or sit by your window all day and wait until she leaves, then go after her. Or run out of sugar and go borrow a cup. This is a particularly good method, cos it makes it completely obvious you like her without actually saying it. It has the same effect as "would you like to come in for a coffee?"

@switch: using an alternative spelling is not the same as finding another word.
Synonyms for "synonym": analogue, annotation, answer, characterization, clarification, clue, comment, commentary, cue, delimitation, delineation, demarcation, denotation, determination, diagnosis, drift, elucidation, exemplification, explanation, explication, exposition, expounding, fixing, formalization, gloss, individuation, interpretation, key, outlining, rationale, rendering, rendition, representation, settling, signification, solution, synonym, terminology, translation
and if you undo your bellybutton your backside will fall off as long as you undo it all the way through (this usually requires the aid of a sword or other long bladed object).

Well if you examine the question, it follows that my answer holds. Synonyme and synonym are different words. The words you provided above are not really good examples of synonyms for "synonym".

ok it's my turn now. Sorry for my bad english
When I put myself my glasses I can see perfectly and when another people put them they see all blurred. So
Why when I put the glasses in a camera the obtained image is not altered?
The glasses wouldn't have to alter the forms in which the light arrives at the lens?
Sorry again for my bad english.

i disagree. it's like saying another word for colour is color, or another word for characterization is characterisation.
the suitability of the results i provided above (taken from thesaurus.com), varies depending on context - although most are fairly lame i personally think "analogue" isn't too bad, or possibly "equivalent" which isn't on the list.
btw - in the chain game thread you claimed that "corequisite" was not a word. unfortunately it is (i took several of them at university!)

Ok gelfen, so i cheat a little bit, fair dinkum mate! Also, im not sure if corequisite is in the oxford dictionary but thanks for keeping me right.
Glasses..... Either converge or diverge light rays passing through the lens, thereby altering the focal point. If a normal sighted person wears glasses, images fall out of focus because the focal point is now either ahead or behind the retina, instead of focusing on the retina, which is what we want for an image to appear sharp and in focus. However, if we strain hard enough, we can compensate for this distortion. A camera will experience a distorted image also, assuming it doesnt have an auto focusing function. Our eyes are far more sensitive to tiny alterations in focal point; its what gives us such precise depth perception. A camera does experience the distortion, but when the image is reproduced it may not appear obvious.

Because youre human, and the success of our evolution is due to a very strong instinct to socialise. If nobody else went out and got drunk at the weekend, you may not either. Gathering and socialising is an important factor in asserting social hierarchy and improving our chances of finding a mate and reproducing. Alcohol becomes involved, because it suppresses our inhibition, and in an age of heightened peer pressure and social stigma, suppressed inhibition plays a key role in our capacity to interact.
