Forwards I am heavy backwards I am not. What am I?

It was a bit difficult for a non-English speaker

I agree with you. I like riddles balancing on the edge between abstract, joke and nonsense. Frankly speaking it is not so easy to express sense of a joke or a riddle in different language. But I'll try.
Here are a few of them, below:

Q: What is the difference between a sparrow?

A: Because it has one leg more than the other.
-------

Q: What is the difference between the brick and the electric train?

A: There is no difference, because you can not use any of them to shave.
-------

Q: When the most people are born?

A:In the ninth calendar month.

Someone could add In the ninth calendar month? It means that in September.



And in the end something for mathematicians:
Q: One stick has two tips. How many tips have three and a half sticks?
