Okay, um..... thunderstorm?

 

A big truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it halfway over the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse?

 

No, because if the truck is a mile long and halfway on the bridge then there is only 7000 pounds on the bridge when the bird lands on it.

 

Pass if I'm right. Too tired to think of a riddle right now

No, because nobody would allow a vehicle on a bridge that weighs exactly what the bridge could carry without breaking. There are always safety margins. :p
