simplybill Posted July 22, 2017 #26 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I just now googled "Sphinx the truth" and it produced 96,200,000 results. So, while it may be absent from the evening news, it is indeed being talked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried "Mafdet butt nugget" and got 1,130 hits in .45 seconds. I guess anything is searchable. "Mafdet back to earth"? That got 133,000 hits in .53 seconds.

Tinfoil hat Posted July 23, 2017 #34 Share Posted July 23, 2017 12 hours ago, Opus Magnus said: I've known for some time if I ever encountered the riddling sphinx it would kill me. Something just tells me inside that I have no chance figuring out the riddle of the sphinx in time, something about it. I'm talking about the Greek Sphinx at the entrance to Thebes, the apparently Oedipus solved and it destroyed itself. Something about the way it asks its riddle doesn't make sense, like a giant gap in logic. I'm not great at these riddles anyway. Simply ask the Sphinx to answer a riddle of your own first; "what's the velocity of an unladen swallow?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
