A Riddle

A man and the sheriff walk into the jail to indentify a prisoner. The man looks into the cell and looks at the prisoner. He then looks at the sheriff and says, "Brothers and sisters I have none, but this man's father is my father's son." What relationship are the two men? (the prinsoner and the man outside the jail cell talking to the sheriff)

How?

this is probably none too clever given that the membership here is more likely than not very familiar with the source material, but I enjoy this kind of thread:

"this thing all things devours; birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
bites iron and gnaws steel, and grinds hard stone to meal;
slays kings and ruins towns, and beats high mountains down"

You're in a room with nothing in it except two robots. One robot always tells the truth, the other always lies. You don't know which is which. There are two doors leading out of the room. One leads to certain death, the other leads to freedom. You don't know which is which. You can ask either robot one question which will help you get out of the room. What is that question?

(Remember, you don't know which robot is which!)

I think i figured this one out but i cant explain it well. You ask what the other robot will say but do the opposite?

ask one robot if it/ you are a robot. Ask the other which door
