Great minds and all that jazz.

@Kastere: bit of a long shot, but is it body cells (as in biologically)?

a word i know,
six letters it contains,
subtract just one
and twelve is what remains.
what is the word?

Bullet Magnet 06-02-2009 07:45 AM

A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word

MA 06-02-2009 08:27 AM

Nope. Take it a lot more literally. What is scaffolding typically made of?

Bullet Magnet 06-02-2009 02:17 PM

Wooden planks and steel tubes...

There is a room with two doors. Behind one door is treasure, behind the other is nothing.
There are two men in the room. One always tell the truth and the other always lies.
You don't know which man is which.

What one question can you ask to guarantee you the treasure???

Note- you can't ask 2 questions in one, for example: Which door is the treasure behind and what colour shirt am I wearing?

Open both the doors, and eat the men. Those shits.

Bullet Magnet 06-03-2009 05:16 PM

I agree. They have no purpose but to annoy.

MeechMunchie 06-04-2009 08:00 AM

Kastere, is it a Zimmer Frame? It's made of metal bars and supports old people.
EDIT: Oh, and here's another riddle. It's easy but I like it anyway.

"Tell me, tell me, what is that,
Over your head and under your hat?"

Mac Sirloin 06-04-2009 08:05 AM

I was thinking Crutches but a Zimmer Frame is closer to the mark. You win.

MA 06-04-2009 08:46 AM

i see what you mean, i was thinking too deep into it.

@MeechMunchie: hair?

also;
you throw away the outside and cook the inside,
then you eat the outside and throw away the inside.
what did you eat?

Mac Sirloin 06-04-2009 09:56 AM

A packaged cooked lemon.

Edit: got those last two mixed up.

Either Fresh Corn or Fish (Throw away the scales)

What kind of perv eats the outsides of Corn or fish? :D


Is the answer Pork, Molluck?

You remove the skin ( the crackling) you cook the pork, you cook the skin and eat both seperatly :;)

Kastere was spot on, it was corn (as in corn on the cob).

a man rides to town on Saturday, stays 2 nights, and then rides home on Wednesday.
how does this happen?
(he definately stayed only 2 nights).

Laser 06-04-2009 11:14 AM

His horse's name is Wednesday

The disintegrated bodies of the buried pharaohs fall through the crack of the top pyramid, and when the ashes reach the bottom of the lower pyramid, it's time to kill another pharaoh?

Mac Sirloin 06-04-2009 01:09 PM

Put the sand in an hourglass once they fall apart.

Artemis gets it.

ArtemisPanthar 06-04-2009 01:57 PM

...you're all technically correct, but the answer to that particular riddle was "Fire", so Kastere got it. But those all count, I'd say.

MA 06-05-2009 07:06 AM

Kastere is correct with 'Q'.
so far...
