Why is a man not a man because no women are involved? I don't get it.

It's a man and his pet?
Favorite Jewish joke. Woody Allen, is it at the beginning of Annie Hall? tells his favorite Jewish joke: it is Groucho Marx??s line, —I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member!?? My own favorite is —An Old Yiddish Riddle?? which I found, browsing in the library, at the beginning of a 1941 novel by Robert Paul Smith, So It Doesn't Whistle. I copy it out exactly:
OLD MAN: What is it that's green, hangs on the wall, and whistles?
YOUNG MAN: I don't know. What is it?
OLD MAN: A red herring.
YOUNG MAN: But it isn't green.
OLD MAN: So you can paint it green.
YOUNG MAN: But it doesn't hang on the wall.
OLD MAN: There's a law saying you can't hang it on the wall?
YOUNG MAN: But it doesn't whistle.
OLD MAN: Nu, so it doesn't whistle.
Ok, so Capricorns are banned on this thread. Sorry if I broke the mistery for you people but this is retarded.

An easy one:
An explorer goes to the North Pole. In a cap of ice he sees a female and male both frozen, both naked. He immediately knows they're Adam and Eve.
Why?
Is it so retard proof simple as one was a man (adam) and one was a woman (eve)?
a piano fell on the dude that stepped outside!
No.
Also don't forget the elevator one people.
Aqua, I only have your riddle to think about 😛

Does him stepping outside have any relevance?
Does adam and eve being frozen have any relevance?

Ok, hint taken 😛
The warden of a circular jail is extremely hyper one day so he begins running around opening cells. The jail has 100 cells numbered from 1 to 100. He runs in a circle and opens all of the cells. Next he runs around and closes every 2nd cell (starting with cell 2, 4, 6 , etc.). If a cell is open he closes it and if a cell is closed he opens it. When he finishes running by all 100 cells he opens/closes every 3rd cell (starting with 3, 6, 9, 12 etc.), then every 4th cell (starting with 4, 8, 12, etc.) and so on. He does this until he goes around and only changes the 100th cell.
When he is done what cells will be open?

Every dawn begins with me
At dusk I??ll be the first you see
And daybreak couldn't come without
What midday centers all about
Daises grow from me, I'm told
And when I come, I end all cold
But in the sun I won't be found
Yet still, each day I??ll be around.
Is this a trick question? 😛 There's no light in the sun, there's only huge amounts of heat?
Does what the man ate have anything to do with his dying?
LOL, got it
The letter "D"
The letter "D"

Romanians have a thing for asking a lot of questions. For us it's not about the answer but the interesting thought processes of people. I lol a lot.
Had one Pisces guy tell me "Well we can see this riddle as the stages of life - we enter the restaurant (we're born), we sit down and eat (we live our life in this consumerism society) and then we go outside (we die). 😄
I tend to NOT ask questions, I just try to think and solve!. So perhaps that is why it's hard for me.

@Justagirl, going out on a limb so I'll probably look stupid, but is it every number that begins with 1 or 4 is open?

Math is relevant, that's your hint you will get from me 😉
