Answer
argh, I got all but the last one. That tricked me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Answer
1) 20 Minutes.
2) Grandfather, Father, Son.
3) All.
4) !?!??!
5) 1 50 Coin, 1 Nickel.
6) They're not playing against each other.
7) He can't be buried if he's living.
8) Dirt doesn't exist in a hole.
EDIT: So I rethought about number four.
Uh...since he's taking one for every half an hour...does it mean that he's taking another pill to keep every half an hour, or just drinking the pill every half an hour. Gahh...or are the pills lasting last half an hour ever term...so...BLAH. I give up on number four.

"Four jolly men sat down to play,
And played all night till break of day.
They played for cash and not for fun,
With a separate score for every one.
When it came time to square accounts,
they all had made quite fair amounts.
Now, not one has lost and all have gained -
Tell me now, this can you explain?"

Where do you think you're going with that thing?" asked the bus driver to the young boy.
"Where do you think I'm going? On this bus, of course. Why, can't I?" replied the boy.
"No, of course you can't," said the bus driver in a very annoying way. "It is forbidden to bring any object of length, width, or height greater than one meter on any bus. That thing you're carrying is longer than one meter."
"Fair enough," sighed the young boy. "It's about one meter and twenty centimeters long. But I can pay a ticket for it too."
"It's got nothing to do with a ticket," screeched the driver. "You could buy a dozen tickets, and I still would not let you ride on this bus!"
Frustration grew rapidly within the young lad. "Listen! I need to take this baseball bat to a game I am playing in. I don't drive a car. The cabbies are on strike. And it's raining. What do you expect me to do!"
I don't know, and I don't care anyway. You ain't gonna come on this bus with that bat. End of story."
Quickly, the young boy dashed into a shop next to the bus stop and came out with a package containing the bat. Smugly, with all thirty-two teeth on display, he showed the package to the bus driver. "Now can I come on the bus?"
With a snort, the bus driver pulled out a folding rule and performed a precise measurement. Scowling, he waved in the smug young lad. How did the boy manage to pack a 1.2 meter baseball bat into a package less than one meter?
