I'd imagine Monday and Friday are the names of horses.
The most ancient riddle I can come up with is the one the sphinx asked Oedipus:
'What travels on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?' (I have to warn you that if you get it right, you'll probably have to kill your father and marry your mother).

I would have accepted one of the horses being named 'Monday' or 'Friday' as it still fits logically.
Oedipus riddle: Man, the answer is man with time being played fast and loose with. When a man is a baby they crawl (in the morning), they walk when grown up (afternoon) and have 'three legs' when they need a walking cane (evening). A bit of a technical term 'bullshit' riddle.
What has a bed but does not sleep, a mouth but does not speak, and has banks but no money?

Correct! Give this man/ monkey/ mathematics a banana/ medal/ round of applause. Almost forget the riddle's final clue and mixed it up with an ocean.

There is a cop, a writer, and a child.
They live in the same town.
5 murders are made.
The cop and the writer know each other.
They both know they have killed many years before a person
but none of them was accused of the murder.
Those murders were made with the same weapon.
Who did commit the 5 murders and why.

You meet a friend, he is asking you to borrow your car, and you own him one, but there is a person who is sick on the floor, this is happening at the bus stop, and right there, there is your girl or boy of your dreams that you want to marry with. What are you going to do.
You give your keys to your friends, so you return him his favour, and you do ask him to take care of the sick person, and take the bus with the loved one. Users often pick one of the options. This riddle was stopped to be asked once they have found that telling your friend to take care of the sick person was something illegal and became a riddle asked for fun.

i am laid down on a blow up air matress.
air pressure holds me up.
what generates more air pressure in the mattress:
200lb Bob lying down
Bob lying next to his 100lb wife
Bob lying next to his 200lb twin Ike?

for example, a foot that measures 3 inches by 12 inches is about 36 sq inches.
if you are 200 pounds, thats 200/36=about 5 pounds per sq inch of pressure.
the air in the mattress will keep getting squeezed until it counteracts and holds you up. there is an additional helping action, which is the curved sides around the foot, as the matress is stretched, so as the pressure inside pushes on the bottom of your foot,
it also pushes on the slanted surface, which also lifts your foot. so the figure of 5 psi is a little high.
but that internal pressure tenses up the entire mattress, so when another 200 lb person steps on the mattress, the matress is already pre pressurized by the first foot.
so the mattress holds the second foot up with no extra pressure inside the mattress.
