May I take a stab at a couple of them?
The "black box" is an easily-visible orange.
The "Canary Islands" question is a trick question: the Canary Islands are in the Atlantic Ocean, not the Pacific (to paraphrase a line from a Bugs Bunny cartoon, "Thought you'd outsmarted us, eh little chum?" [ ])
I'll be sure to tune in for the rest of the answers!

I love questions...........
#3 I know this one from my tennis racket - catgut comes from sheep and hog intestines - synthetic now
#8 A purple finch is really red - I used to have parakeets
#10 Yeah, the black box is really neon orange - read that somewhere
#9 Chinese gooseberries are another name for Kiwi, so I'd have to say Australia or New Zealand - learned that on the food channel
#2 I "Asked Jeeves" about Panama hats and he sent me to the David Morgan website........I just ordered my dad a Panama Bush Walker for Father's Day Super looking hat....anyway, I learned they are made in Ecuador.

It was fought in America from 1755 to 1760 and it was won by the British.

#1 Why can't a man living in the USA be buried in Canada?
#2 Is it legal for a man in California to marry his widow's sister?
#3 A man builds a rectangular house. All sides have southern exposure. What color is the bear that walks by?
#4 A clerk in a butcher shop is 5'10" tall. What does he weigh?

smith backward? Never!
#1 'Cos it ain't legal to bury guys who are still living.
#2 Not unless she's into necrophilia!
#3 White - 'cos he's built his house at the North Pole. No
accounting for tastes, is there?
#4 This is a meaty question. Can I chew on it?

After much thought, I have decided to answer with the following:
#1 I suppose that could be done, but it sounds like it would be burying someone alive, and that's not very nice... 
#2 I don't know if it's possible in California, and to be honest, I'm ready to believe just about anything about the US... But here it isn't possible for a dead man to marry someone.
#3 Polar bear colored. Which, I personally think should be pink with green dots, but I didn't have a say when it was decided... *sigh*
#4 I would assume he weighs meat, but I dunno... I've never been to a butcher shop.

PS. If you're looking for an explanation for the very bad attempts at humor, read on.... Well, the explanation is: It's 6.42 AM and I'm just about to turn in for the night. Or day. Or something. And if you're still reading, please, get a life...
