How many did you get?

First batch:

Alpha) If an airplane gets 'lift' from its wings, how can it fly upside down?

In the case where there are no airlons, and attachments to adjust the "angle of attack", and airplane with just wing-shaped wings is impossible to fly upside down, as "lift" would trurn into"drop".

Bethe) If I toss a coin onto the nearest table, why is the probability that it will be heads NOT 1/2?

The probability that a coin toss onto a table (NOT the hand) is NOT 1/2 because of the possibility, however unlikely, that it will land on edge and stay there.

Gamow) What is the probability that YOU have more then the average number of limbs?

The probability that YOU have more than the average number of limbs is so close to unity, it makes no difference. Recalling that the "average number of limbs" is simply the total number of limbs divided by the number of people counted, the answer is almost certainly 3.99999999 and not 4, as some people will NOT have 4 limbs. Also, there will almost certainly be more people with less than 4 , than people with more than 4, so this makes the "average" just less than 4.

Second Batch:

1. What is the only word in the English language to have two consecutive "I"s?

Skiing.

2. What is the only word in the English language to have 4 (whoops - 3) sets of consecutive double letters?

Bookkeeper

3. What is the longest word in English with no vowels?

Rhythms

4. What is the only word in the English language that changes pronunciation when captialtised?

"to polish" means to make something shine or to clean; "to be Polish" means being from the country of Poland.

5. True or false: " This sentence is false."

The sentence is neither true nor false. This is a veritable can of worms. I have already written a post about the implications ", viz: ( This sentence is false......? )

6. True or false: "Thes sentence has foure mistokes in it. "

True. There are four mistakes, the fourth being that the number you can see is three, whilst it says "four".

7. True or false : "This sentence is six words long if it were six words shorter. "

True. Take the last six words away, it becomes another sentence of six words.

8. True or false: "This plong contains many non-braspish English doodocks but the overall klerpendall can be spackried from the context."

True. translation" This sentence contains many non-standard English words, but the overall meaning can be inferred from the context"

Apologies for number 2. I put this forward as proof that I do not "search" for any of these.
