      I don't get number 13, probably because I don't know what Gödel and Chomsky are known for. The other ones are quite nice. I especially like number 3.

      The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

          3 is easy. The first logician wants a bear otherwise he would have said no. He said 'I don't know' because he does not know whether logician 2 and 3 want a beer. The second logician knows that the 1st one wants a beer because he did not say no. He also wants a beer because he does not say no, but since he does not know whether the 3 rd logician wants a beer he answers 'I dont know'. The 3rd logician wants a beer. Since neither logician 1 o 2 said 'no' he knows that they want a beer, therefore he can answer 'yes'. As far as 13 is concerned I have no idea.

            #3 - Since he asked if all of them want a drink (A and B and C - all yes or all no), only the last person could answer for all. Sucram's explanation was better.

                    4 definitely counts as groan-worthy. 6 and 7 made me laugh though. 11 though, that was a cracker.

                        Heisenberg's line is a play on the cat paradox, that is determining if it is alive or not. Gödel's line is a reference to his incompleteness theorem that states that no axiomatic system can be complete and thus contains undecidable statements. Chomsky's remark probably aims the reference the fact that he is a renowned linguist by stating it's only a matter of correctly expressing oneself.
