During the winter of 1959, a young man returned home from work, and presented his new bride with a box -shaped like a part of the human body. He also gave her a newly published book entitled Flowers for Algernon, and humbly apologized to her, stating, "The one store was open, but the other store was not, so this is as close as I could get for your gifts." As he looked into the eyes of his beautiful bride, he spoke these strange, mystical words: "With Abe looking forward, and George looking back, I ask you, on this special day; will you -- -- ---------?" To solve this brainteaser, you must: #1- identify the contents of the box (shaped like a part of the human body) which he gave to his wife; #2- identify the "special day" referred to by the husband, and #3 - reveal the three missing words the husband spoke to his new bride.
Answer: #1- The content of the box, shaped like a part of the human body, was an assortment of chocolates in a heart-shaped container. The book he brought her had “Flowers” in the title, as the floral shop was closed, but the bookstore was still open. #2- the “special day” referred to by the husband is —Valentines Day. The man’s reference to Abe looking forward (Abraham Lincoln’s birthday in February) and George looking back (George Washington’s Birthday in February) indicates the location of Valentine’s Day between the two. #3- the three missing words spoken by the husband to his wife are “Be My Valentine.”

Answer: Wind.
My name is revered in many places, and despised in others. People often come to me seeking wisdom and advice, and usually I can help them, if they follow my guidance. I am the overseer of two groups of faithful instructors --- thirty-nine on one side of me and twenty seven on the other, to be exact. I'm not a magician, but in the past, one of my manifestations disappeared for a time, and reappeared years later in a desert cave. I often wear a leather jacket, even when temperatures reach over 100 degrees, but neither cold nor heat affects me much. And now, dear reader, it is time for you to give your revelation of the solution to this puzzle. Who, or what am I?
Answer: I am the BIBLE. The two groups of faithful instructors are the Old and New Testaments (39 books in the Old and 27 in the New). The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in a desert cave confirmed the veracity of the original texts. Many Bibles are covered in leather (jackets).
