[Checkmate]

He must not have had spiritual eyes. He was dreaming? He died?

There is a man in a room. In that room, the man hanged himself. The thing is that there is nothing in the room but him, the rope, and a puddle of water on the floor. How did the man hang himself?

[waterhogboy]

Avec une icicle!!!

(Frenchie Canucks dont shout at me - I know thats not correct French!!)

[jalapeno45]

Heres a long riddle:

A man named Sam Sham sells bibles in the Middle East. One day he loaded his canoe full of bibles and paddled off down the solitary river which meanders its way through the barren sand. Sam's customary business practice consists of stacking the bibles on one side of a huge set of balance scales and the nomads piling gold on the other. When the scales balance, the transaction is complete. One day Sam met a nomadic group at the edge of the river and began doing business. Unfortunately for Sam, the scales broke. Since there was nothing around but sand, Sam couldn't think of any fair way to weigh the bibles. He was just getting into his canoe to paddle off, when someone had a brilliant idea. What was the idea that would allow them to accurately weigh and exchange the bibles for gold?

[legolas]

No no no no no! *hits head in frustration* My question was the answer to lsipher's riddle - but never mind, just ignore it!!

lol, bc is more clueless then i am! this is sad!

[Goldenrod22]

It cannot be seen cannot be heard cannot be smelt cannot be felt it lies behind stars and under hills and empty holes it fills it comes first follows after after ends life kills lafter...

What is it?


It's DARKNESS not TIME!

And by the way, everyone needs to start quoting whoever you are answering the riddle to(if you havent already).It will make everything easier.

[jalapeno45]

Where is everyone? Its been like a week since anyone has posted anything. :confused:

[pegasus62]

Hey everyone! I've got a riddle:
I have no fingers yet I can touch,
I have no eyes yet I can glare,
I have no legs yet I can move,
I have no cheeks yet I can become rosy.
:confused:

[Dernhelm]

Uh. Let's see... "I have no eyes yet I can glare", some kind of light source? The Sun would explain "I have no legs yet I can move". But I'm not sure if "I have no fingers yet I can touch" fits in or not...or the last line. But, now that you understand that I have Grave Doubts about my theory(:p) ...I shall put forward a guess. The Sun?

[borntofly]

Yeah it is the Sun isn't it? You are smart Dernhelm! I'm am not very good at riddles dang it!

[waterhogboy]

Hey everyone! I've got a riddle:
I have no fingers yet I can touch,
I have no eyes yet I can glare,
I have no legs yet I can move,
I have no cheeks yet I can become rosy.
:confused:

I can become Rosy!??! Oh... I wouldn't want to know the answer to that one!

[unleavened]

Make a pile of sand, set the canoe on top, put bibles in one and and gold in the other and use it as a scale! or throw Sham Sham into the water and steal his bibles. Tha would be ironic.

[Dernhelm]

You have to read the Sillmarillion (sp?) to get this one.

Why did Beren cross the road?

[Johan 72109]

To continue in his continuous pursuit of Tinuviel...? :o

Has mythology lessons payed off? :o

[Dernhelm]

No, I'm afraid not; the answer is: To get to the second-hand shop.

:D

[Johan 72109]

No, I'm afraid not; the answer is: To get to the second-hand shop.

:D

Badum tschhh...

Hehe...

[Johan 72109]

A... flower? :o

[jalapeno45]

Make a pile of sand, set the canoe on top, put bibles in one and and gold in the other and use it as a scale! or throw Sham Sham into the water and steal his bibles. Tha would be ironic.

Nope! Do you give up yet?

[pegasus62]

Yes, Dernhelm, you're right-it was the sun. I thought that was a pretty good one too...Guess I'm going to have to improve on my riddles! :)

[Gryphon]

A... flower? :o
yeah a bluebell

[Gryphon]

Nope! Do you give up yet?
do you put the canoe in the water to scale the gold against the bibles?

[Smog]

No, I'm with unleavened on this one. Kill Sam and take his Bibles...

Ok, I have a riddle:
What is small, grey and covered in dents that are shaped like that of a 13 double wide, Athetics shoe?

[black cloak]

[Checkmate]

What can you put in a pitcher of milk that makes the pitcher lighter?
Water? 10 thing

[waterhogboy]

Ooooo! Is the answer to the pitcher of milk one a torch??

[Gryphon]

my brain???

[unleavened]

Do you mean "too small"?

[Gryphon]

Do you mean "too small"?
she asked if it were her brain and i said no, your brain is too small. im just kidding though, i dont mean it.

[black cloak]

hehehe it probablly is

[Checkmate]

I've got one:
What is the one question that you can never answer "yes" to?

No one answered or tried to answer my other one...

[Elendil]

Sorry Checkmate,
Can't think of the answer to your riddle.
Try this one:
What is Greater than God
Worse than the devil
The rich man needs it The poor mans got it
And if you eat it you die?

[Dernhelm]

Checkmate: What is the one question that you can never answer "yes" to?
Are you asleep.

Elindil...ah...I dunno.

[Smog]

Try this one:
What is Greater than God
Worse than the devil
The rich man needs it The poor mans got it
And if you eat it you die?

That's blasphemeous to say that something is greater then God!
(Which is my way of saying I have no idea :D)

[Gryphon]

Sorry Checkmate,
Can't think of the answer to your riddle.
Try this one:
What is Greater than God
Worse than the devil
The rich man needs it The poor mans got it
And if you eat it you die?

BOOGERS! :D

[Johan 72109]

Try this one:
What is Greater than God
Worse than the devil
The rich man needs it The poor mans got it
And if you eat it you die?

Muahaha... I've realised how this isn't blasphemy...

It's nothing, surely?

[Sam]

I love that riddle. I have especially fond memories of my first attempt at answering it- mosquitoes. Which actually do fit in for at least three of the conditions.

[unleavened]

Muahaha... I've realised how this isn't blasphemy...

It's nothing, surely?
Oooooh, that's tricky!

[Elendil]

Yep, nothing you got it.
Can't think of another one right now.

[Dernhelm]

Here's two; one of them isn't the type can figure out...at least, if you do it, I take my hat off to you! *hat! hat?! AHHHH! I don't have one!* :D

•How many hobbits does it take to screw in a light bulb? (this is the one you can't answer. :p)

•Why can't Saruman read his wristwatch?

[Smog]

•How many hobbits does it take to screw in a light bulb? (this is the one you can't answer. :p)

•Why can't Saruman read his wristwatch?

Well assuming that the average light bulb is aproximatley 7'10'' off the ground, and assuming that the average height of a hobbit is 3'6'', it would take apoximatley three hobbits to change a light bulb. Assuming that there are, of course, light bulbs in the Shire.

I'm not too sure on that other one... I'll take a swing at it later.

[Dernhelm]

Well...uh, wrong :p

Anyone else want a try?

[jalapeno45]

I've got one:
What is the one question that you can never answer "yes" to?

No one answered or tried to answer my other one...

Is it "Are you dead?"? :D

[Dernhelm]

Here's the answer to the impossable one :D : How many hobbits does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Well, it takes twenty because:
Three to find a ladder that reaches up to the sky
Seven to find a lightbulb in the dark halls of stone
Nine to steady the ladder so the one on top doesn't die
One to install the lightbulb, on the ladder, all alone
In a land called The Shire, where very few shadows lie.

Well...I thought it was pretty funny :D!

P.S. Read the poem in LOTR somewhere before the beginning of the story if you don't get it.

[pegasus62]

Everyone seems to clever for their own good on this thread...Here's an easy one:
Fingers reaching, into the ground,
Fingers groping, skyward bound.

[Dernhelm]

Tree?

(10....)

[Checkmate]

Checkmate: What is the one question that you can never answer "yes" to?
Are you asleep.
That's right...
Is it "Are you dead?"? :D
This is right too...
There is another that would be "Are you in a coma?"

[Elendil]

Who is this man talking about?
Brothers and Sisters, I have none,
But this man's father, is my mothers son.

(I had to this one in maths!)

[Lord Eirek]

Who is this man talking about?
Brothers and Sisters, I have none,
But this man's father, is my mothers son.

(I had to this one in maths!)

His son?

10 thingy

[Elendil]

You can do better than that!!! (Hint: You have to read it carefully!)

[Lord Eirek]

Eh? ah, I can never get riddles right, but i'll have another try.........
Himself?

[Dernhelm]

His nephew?

[Smog]

That's right...

This is right too...
There is another that would be "Are you in a coma?"

What about when your girlfriend asks "Does this make me look fat?"

[Elendil]

Eh? ah, I can never get riddles right, but i'll have another try.........
Himself?

Yep,

ten thingy

[waterhogboy]

What about when your girlfriend asks "Does this make me look fat?"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!!!!! Man - that is WELL funny.... and so true too!! :D

[Goldenrod22]

The answer to my riddle is...
Holes.

[Goldenrod22]

Here is another:

Yellow eyes, white crown,
Green legs, and brown feet.
What am I?
(I made this one up)

[pegasus62]

I've got one:
I wear a cap of grayish-white,
I wilt within the darkening night,
I come back when the time is right.

[pegasus62]

Tree?

(10....)

Oh, and by the way, Dernhelm,you're right-that's the answer.

[jalapeno45]

I've got 2 riddles!!! :D

If you know what it is, then it doesn't exist to you, but it might to everyone else. What is it?

And

A man once fell off a cliff but never broke a bone in his body. Why not?

[Smog]

Not sure about the first one, however, is the answer to the second; because it was a very small cliff?

[Goldenrod22]

I've got one:
I wear a cap of grayish-white,
I wilt within the darkening night,
I come back when the time is right.

Is it a Mushroom?

[May Lafay]

I'm a window, but also a door
To a place with wonders in store.
I never lie,
Nor will I try.
I was written with the hands of men,
But complete wisdom is hidden in my den.


(Very easy, I couldn't think of anything else.)

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

is it scripture??? :D
here's one:
A box without hinges, key or lid
yet inside golden treasure is hid...(think the hobbit!) :D

[May Lafay]

*sigh* I need to think of something more hard... but yes it is. Yours is egg I almost memorized the entire book.

I am but a broken shard,
I'm smooth, but always hard.
If you were to warm my heart,
I'd be no more...like a eaten tart...

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

uhhhh ICE!? :D

[May Lafay]

Yep....

We are little creatures;
all of us have different features.
One of us in glass is set;
one of us you'll find in jet.
Another you may see in tin,
and the fourth is boxed within .
If the fifth you should pursue,
it can never fly from you.
What are we?

(My favorite riddle from childhood.)

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

wouldn't be bugs would it? :D

[May Lafay]

No that's not it.

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

hmmm....gems???if not my next guess is dolls... :D

[May Lafay]

No still not it. Try thinking about the words, and not just what they mean.

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

uhhhh...birds??

[glamel]

VOWELS (a,e,i,o,u)

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

[May Lafay]

*nods* Great someone knows the answer.


My mother is me
My father... my brother(he be),
Half of me gone,
for so long.
Slowly spliting in two.
The same me and you.


(School is getting to me>.< Just not the english part. (with grammar))

[glamel]

[Dernhelm]

This is a three joke sequence; I'll give you the answer to the first one. Yes, the second one has a different answer.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

and, (once you answer that one)

Why did the duck cross the road?

[glamel]

ANswer: To prove to the possum it could actually be done.

Answer: The duck suggested to the chicken that they play
follow the leader then the duck crossed the road causing the chicken to cross after it, but at the same time holding up traffic, thus proving that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction . :) :) :)

[Dernhelm]

Lol! Well, yours is probably as good as any...but here's the answer to the next to last:
Because there was a green light.

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

answer to the last one:
because the duck couldn't get on a bus.... :D

[Dernhelm]

Nope!

I'll give you another chance. :p

[glamel]

the chicken owes something t the duck, so he runs twards where the chicken goes? :) :confused:

[Dernhelm]

Nope! :D
The reason the duck crossed the road:
To give the chicken a break.

:p

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

that makes sense...


here's one:
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.

What should have he said?

[waterhogboy]

three...... but i wont say why!!!

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

yes!did you search the web for that like i did?lol :D

[glamel]

P.S. the answer to my other riddle (what has green legs, brown feet) is a DAISY.

ok this has to be a trick question, I say it's 12:13 :)

I've got one-
a woman was sitting reading, after a while she got tired turned off the light and went to bed. The next day she was reading the newspaper when it read" ship sinks in atlantic no survivors". She promptly hung herself. why?

She lived in the lighthouse by the rocks where the ship crashed.

You wait 'til the sharks die of starvation and lack of sea water, then swim away. ^_^

I have one.

A criminal is being punished for murder. He is given the choice of 3 doors. Door #1 has fire behind it where he will burn to death. Door #2 has 3 lions who haven't eaten in 4 weeks behind it, who will definately eat him. Door #3 has a bomb hidden inside that will explode, causing him to be blown to bits in 3 seconds. He chooses a door, and the officer leaves. But the criminal manages to sneak out and escape 3 hours later. How did he do it?

[Wills_dream_Gf]

he chose one but never actually opened it

[*IOWW the Iasc*]

he chose one but never actually opened it


No, he wen't in. Sorry didn't add that detail.

[Wills_dream_Gf]

[shmeepie]

i've got one!

you're walking to the city, and you come to a fork in the road. there is no signage so you don't know which path to take to get to the city. you aren't carrying anything except a water bottle...so no map. at this fork there are two houses, in which two familes live. one family always tells the truth, and one family always lies, but you don't know which family lives in which house.

what question would you ask to each family to find out the way to the city? you can only ask each family one question, it has to be the same question that you asked to the other family.

[Jordo]

ummm...ok, this is a dumb idea, but do you ask them if you can get more water?

[fish_wwjd_frog]

I would ask each family "what road would the other family tell me to take?" and then I would take the other path.

[*Hawaii Beach Babe*]

I got one. It is pretty easy. It is from a book.

First think of a person who lives in disguise
Who deals with secrets and tells nothing but lies
Next think of what's the last thing to mend
The middle of the middle and the end of the end
Last tell me the sound that's often heard
During the search for a hard-to-find word
Now string them together and tell me this
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?

[fish_wwjd_frog]

A Spider!!!!!
