Riddles

Riddle me this NDN... you stand at a crossroads: one path leads to heaven, pocket aces, and everything you could ever want; the other leads to death, destruction,VD, and bad beats. At each path stands a man (so there's two total :-p) one of them always lies, and the other always tells the truth. You can ask one man one question, unknowing of which one is the liar and which one is the one that tells the truth. what question do you ask either of them, to undoubtedly know the right path to go??
Im pretty sure that there is only one answer to this, so rack your brains and lets see who gets it. Please also feel free to post more riddles, as they are one o my favorite things to do after i lose, which is too often...

I am not NDN but I would ask one of the men a question. If one man ALWAYS lies, and the other man ALWAYS tells the truth... I would ask one of the men if he were a woman and if he said yes as in lying I would take the other path. And if he said no I'd take the path he were at.

Okay I have a riddle, this one is pretty easy...

You have a pile of socks. The pile consists of twenty socks. Ten red socks and ten blue socks. Blindfolded you are asked to pull out a pair of socks of the same color. How many socks would you have to pull out before you knew for sure that you had a pair of socks the same color?

Firstly - A crossroads would have 3 seperate paths, i believe you mean a "fork".

Secondly - Id ask which path the other guy would tell you to take and take the other one.

If the person is safe he will truthfully tell you that the liar would tell you to take the unsafe path.
If he is the liar he would lie and tell you that the truthful person would direct you down the unsafe path.

Heres mine for ya -

The person who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The person who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

I don't get it, how would you know? Because if you asked one man "which path would he (meaning the other man) tell me to take?" The liar could answer you, (he would tell you to take my path for it is right) or he could answer you (he would tell you to take his path for it is right) How would you know if he is lying or not? Unless you asked him an obvious question?
