An Address is technically not a dress. Sure, it includes the word 'dress', but that does not make it as dress. It is it's own unique noun.

On Oddguys riddle:
'Okay, you're trapped in a dungeon and you come upon a little old man standing in front of two doors. "One door will lead you to freedom, and the other to a horrible death," he says, "The left door is the way out, but I always lie.'

OK. He always lies. Therefore, one door does NOT lead to freedom and neither does one lead to a horrible death.
So either the doors lead to nowhere, or to slavery. And that's both of them.
And the left door leads out - lie, so it doesn't lead out. And neither oes the right door, because of the above.
No doors lead anywhere.


edit: ah crap, just realised the paradox of him lying about always lying.
Ignore my response.
