Aww, Sandra already knew it

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is 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!

A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him to go into?

Unless lions are like...robots they would be dead, and bones.
I've got one...A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over five minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But, five minutes later, they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

A guy bet his neighbor $100 that his dog could jump higher than a house. Thinking this was not possible, the neibor took the bet and lost. Why did he lose the bet?

When can you add two to eleven and get one as the correct answer?

With pointed fangs it sits and waits,
With piercing force it doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might.
Eternally joining in a single bite.
What am I?

Quite simple, when you have a dog that is Clifford size, any house wouldn't match with his jumping abilities.

House can't jump.

If it's eleven o'clock, and two hours passed, it will be one o'clock.

You're a person describing a stapler.

Lions, they'd be dead.

When it's with time. Add two to eleven o' clock, and you get one o' clock.

The doctor gives you 3 pills and instructs you to take one every half-hour. How long before the pills are gone?

You're in a room in the dark, you have a single match. In the room there is a candle, a kerosene heater, and a lantern. Which do you light first?

You're in a room with four windows. All of the windows face south. A bear walks by one of the windows. What colour is the bear?

There are 8 apples. Take away 2 apples. How many apples do you have?

One hour. Take one right then, another in half an hour, and another in another half an hour = one hour. I think. Am I right?

Do you still have eight apples, because you haven't gotten rid of the other two?

There are ten candles burning. The window is open, and one blows out. During the course of an hour or so (not relevant), two more blow out. I shut the window so that no more candles can blow out. At the end of the day, how many candles are left?

Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

Depending on the size, none, or seven.

Both of those answers are wrong. And these are... um... burn-for-one-day candles. XD

As already answered, one hour.

The match.

White.

Two.
