Riddles..

..have a look at this. I'll call it a riddle,,

"This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd.. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching"

Okay, Steve and Steve and Bill:
A guy at Shannon Park drives his plane into the ground (obviously a hypothetical story with the names changed). As he walks back to the line, Bill asks him how much his plane weighed. Chris replies, "It weighed half its weight plus 1.5 pounds". How much did the plane weigh?
