My friend has challenged me to answer these questions but i can't find out any of them!:
Сколько водки ни бери -- все равно два раза ...
Каким женским именем называют клавиатуру?
Could anybody translate them and then give me the answers in both Russian and English.
THANKS! :mrgreen:

First is not a question.
The second has its answer - it's Klava
So what's the first one? The suggestion already given makes no sense to me.

It means that however much vodka you can provide during your party or a friendly gathering, it's never enough and you'll need to buy more (i.e. to go for it the second time, after your guests will drink all of it and demand more :)).
One of the many jokes that Russians use to mock (or to boast about) their drinking stamina.
PS. I should probably add that this phrase (as many other catch-phrases) intentionally imitates a famous proverb. In this case it's "Сколько волка не корми - он все равно в лес смотрит".
Thanks so much guys :)
