if you take a rope and tie it over earth exactly at the middle what will be the length of the rope? (lets call it L) (the radius of earth is approx 6.38*10^6 meters)
if i want the rope to be 1 meter above ground at all points on earth, how much rope do i need to add to L?

You take enough rope so that you can tie it, then hold it 1 meter above the earth while standing over the middle of it.

rope around earth = 2*6.38*10^6*pi (let = x)
rope around 1 metre above earth=2*63800000001*pi (let=y)
rope added = y-x
not very much

the answer is 2 π or ~6m.
L=(2 π R)
R=R+1
L=2 π R
L=(2 π )+(2 π R)

So a man and his son were driving in the highway. A drunk driver ran into them.
Unfortunately, the father did not survive, but his son did, but with serious injuries.
Once he was sent to the hospital, the surgeon said:
"I can't operate on him, he's my son"
How is this possible?

The father that died was a priest? :seriously:
