Okie my turn grin2.gif

(1) No legs have I to dance,
No lungs have I to breathe,
No life have I to live or die
And yet I do all three.

(2) I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from you I can't run.

Several shots are heard. A voice says pleadingly, "Don't shoot me, John." When the police get into the room they find a lawyer, a doctor, an Army lieutenant, and a mailman. A gun is on the floor. The police immediately arrest the mailman. Why?
Johnny Truant
The rest are women?

I do not fly, though some claim I do. I do not stand still, yet i may seem i to.

The Black Knight
I would have said an egg...
Thunderbolt
I can not be heared can not be felt can not be smelt, the night i fear and with sun light i apear

what am i
The Black Knight
Well...there are a number of answers.

1) An invisible, intagible, unscented Reverse Vampire (I think only two or three of these exist in the universe...)

2) A bat that doesn`t exist, that is also not nocturnal.

3) An onion that doesn`t smell, and also is afraid of the dark.

4) A young boy named Guiseppe

5) A shadow (I think this is the answer)
Thunderbolt
it is a shadow

now try these

1)What force and strength cannot get through
I with a gentle touch can do
And many in the street would stand
Were i not a friend at hand

2)In marble walls as white as milk
Lined with skin as soft as silk
Within a fountain crystal clear
A golden apple does appear.
No doors are there to this stronghold
Yet thieves break in and steel the gold

3)Black within
Red without
With four corners round about
Dante The Hunter
Number 2's an egg, Im pretty sure......
The Black Knight
I`m pretty sure the first is like...a doorknob. And the second is an egg. And the third is...probably something like a newspaper, with a play on words with "red". HAHAHA..."read"...that`s a big guess though.
Thunderbolt
The first one is a Key
the seconed is a Egg
and the last is a Chimney
The Black Knight
That wasn`t fair. A doorknob was a perfectly legitimate response for the first one. And chimnies aren`t always brick on the outside. So there. Also, I`m not being mean. Just bored.
Thunderbolt
original.gif Well! aren't we mr. aditud today
sorry but thats my answer
don't like it that go drink from a sewer
God! Idiot!
The Black Knight
Well. If you got out of bed this morning and said to yourself "I think I`m going to try and hurt someone`s feelings today," congratulations. You`ve succeeded. Ouch...
Thunderbolt
Dude! thats just a joke dude
lighten up
i saw that in a Jeff Corwin episode
and the "God! Idiot!" thats just a joke too its from Napolean Dynomite
no hard feelings
The Black Knight
Eff wye eye, I was joking. I`m only toying with you. I wasn`t offended. No worries.

(OOC: HEEELLLLOOOOOOOO!.....OOOOO.....)

Now onto a few tricky riddles of doom!

1. More beautiful than the face of your God,
Yet more wicked than a Demon's forked tongue?
Dead men eat it all the time,
Live men who eat it die slow...

2. Two bodies have I,
Though both joined in one.
The more still I stand,
The quicker I run...

3. What is neither fish nor flesh,
feathers nor bone,
But still has fingers,
and thumbs of its own?

4. There is a thing, which nothing is,
Yet it has a name.
It's sometimes tall
And sometimes short
It tumbles when we fall
It joins our sport,
And plays at every game...

5. The gift your mother gives you,
Though prized by all, the long and short of it,
Too much of it kills you every time.

6. We say some things improve with death.
What stinks when living, but dead smells good?
The Black Knight
1) Nothing
2) hourglass
3) A piece of armor worn over one`s hand...?
4) Shadow
5) Life
6) Bacon...orrrr, a pig.

#3 was a Mountain
The Black Knight
Little Timmy was in his class listening to his teacher talk about lying. The teacher, feeling ready to trick the kids, asked the class "Try to come up with a question that it is impossiblt to lie about." Little Timmy said "How about 'Are you a gorilla?" The teacher responded "No, because you could easily say 'Yes, I am a gorilla?".
There is one question (in a variety of forms) that can be asked that the answer can never be lied about. What is it?
(Side note: I don't know if this even makes sense, as I'm only thinking it out in my head. It makes sense to me as I know the answer, but I don't know how other people think)
Shivel
I know!

Here's an example: "Do I have large hands?"

It's impossible to be wrong, because compared to something smaller, your hands are in fact large.

No matter what you say, whether it be "Yes, you do have large hands" or "No, you do not have large hands", your answer will be correct.
The Black Knight
But to any extent, when in comparison to anything, you could lie. Keep going.

But it's the same result as his sample question. You can lie about it even if your response is untrue. hmm.gif

It must be oppurtunity. Even if it's not the answer you want, it's still correct.

Um.... I think i've got it! The question is "Am I asking you a question?" Because if they say no, then they cannot reply for they say there is no question to answer, so they have to say yes. Even if this answer is random, I think it's correct

What cat has no legs
That hisses and slithers
That rattles in anger
And has skin which never withers?

Just made that up on the spot, and I think it makes sense
The Black Knight
How about a "Cat"-tlesnake? HIYO.

Actually, your answer of "Am I asking you a question?" would work, but the one I had in mind was "Is this question a lie?" I suppose anything along those lines would work...but you know.

I'll give you the cookie for the answer to my riddle. Well, half a cookie. It's a Tiger rattlesnake so you were close enough

What has 4 legs in the morning
2in the middle of the day
and 3 at the end

Simple one
The Black Knight
I think it was me myself that asked that one a while back. The old "Riddle of the Sphinx". The answer is man. Simple indeed.

Don't know if it has been posted but here it goes: A man who hung himself is found in a room with no objects or windows at all. The only thing they find is a puddle of water underneath him, and their is no way he could have jumped to do it and he had no help.
How did he do it? grin2.gif
