In summary, the conversation is about a series of joke/fun questions where the person asking the questions will post a new question every day. The first question is about an airplane with 100 cargoes, one of which falls off during the flight. The second question is about putting an elephant inside a refrigerator in 3 steps. The third question is about putting a horse inside a refrigerator. The fourth question is about a missing animal at a lion's meeting in the jungle. The fifth question is about crossing a river filled with crocodiles without a boat or bridge. And the final question is about a mad man who died.

100. The one that fell off the plane doesn't mean it doesn't exist. (Tongueout)

But that's probably not what you are getting at.
