686.

But I'm guessing because it's a riddle this isn't the right answer. :fuzconf:

Or it could be none because the guy isn't going and therefore none of his wives are going, so none of the sacks are going, so none of the cats are going, so none of the kits are going.

:fuzblink:

Mr.X 06-04-2003 03:41 PM

correct no one is going they are all leaving from it

That'd be die hard with a vengance?

wtfz 06-05-2003 04:50 PM

Who/what is that?

Splat 06-05-2003 06:16 PM

Die hard with A vengence is a very cool film in which lots of things go boom! Acctually you're all wrong, 1 person was going, "As I was going to st Ives..."

I'm in a place where yesterday follows today, and tomorrorows between the 2. Where the fuzz am I?

wives sacks cats and kits how many where going to st.ives

Well, I got here first:

ONE. You are going to St Ives, no one else is.

Here's another cryptic clue:

"About Inn Landlord"
What is the one-word answer?

dripik 06-07-2003 05:25 PM

I know some English jokes called "bizarre riddles". Here's one:

-What can fly underwater?

Splat 06-07-2003 06:34 PM

Are you sure that's an English joke? Cause this local resident of England has never heard that one before.

Here's one,
I'm in a place where yesterday comes after today, and tomorrows between the 2.
Where the fuzz am I?

dripik 06-08-2003 01:40 PM

Splat, I didn't finish the joke, it was just the question. And here's the answer:

-A bird in a submarine.

I'm not sure that it's English.

Splat 06-09-2003 03:36 PM

Oh.

heheheh.

Splat 06-15-2003 08:06 AM

Well, as this thread seems to be crashing back down to Earth, I may as well say the answer to my last one,

:

I'm in a place where yesterday comes after today, and tomorrows between the 2. Where the fuzz am I?
Is a dictionary (alphabetical order)

Native Poser 06-15-2003 06:27 PM

Yes, sadly this thread--like most my attempts at creating a new topic--is going down the toilet *flusssssssh* Anyway, just for the heck of it, I'll post another riddle..

Lighter than what
I am made of,
More of me is hidden
Than is seen.
What am I ?

I'm not surprised no one got this, it was supposed to be:
"Patriotic about inn-owner"
What's the 10 letter answer?

Native Poser 06-18-2003 12:43 PM

Yeah, it was an echo. Now I wonder if anyone get the answer to the other riddle..

:

More of me is hidden
Than is seen.

Splat 06-19-2003 06:02 PM

Oh, I know this one! Well, I new it...

Just as a last attempt, now it's down to us 3,

I fall from the sky without a parachute,
If I hit the ground I may live,
If you catch me I'll dissapear forever.
What am I?

Oh, I wish i'd though of that one!

Splat 06-25-2003 12:18 PM

It was a snowflake.

A hiss, a bellow, and a plop,
three lines on yellow, then they stop.
What is it?

Got it, "when you stare at one too long!"
...cause it would damage you're eyes
...cause ravens eat eyes
...i think...

Here's one:
"Turn me one way,
What is out cannot come in.
Turn me the other way,
What is in cannot go out"

I think this has two answers...

Splat 06-27-2003 07:25 PM

urr...

It was an elephant skating on a bowl of frozen custard!


When I'm empty I can do nothing
But when I am full I can point the way.
What am I?

Re:

Patriotic republican

Here's anew one:

As I walked down Mulberry lane,
I met a man doing the same.
He tipped his hat and drew his cane
And in this ryme I've said his name.

So what's he called?

Splat 07-22-2003 07:09 PM

Drew?

Don't forget my last one

Splat 06-01-2004 08:02 AM

Why are all the good threads either deleted or left to rot? Please continue this people, it's a rockin thread!

oddguy 06-01-2004 08:20 AM

Okay, you're trapped in a dungeon and you come upon a little old man standing in front of two doors. "One door will lead you to freedom, and the other to a horrible death," he says, "The left door is the way out, but I always lie."

Which door do you choose?

-oddguy

dripik 06-01-2004 08:34 AM

Well, if the old man always lies, then it's not sure that the doors lead to the places he described. Maybe both of the doors are leading to freedom... or death.

Splat 06-01-2004 09:59 AM

Yes, but if he says he always lies then he's tellin you the truth, unless he's lying which means he sometimes lies.
We know that he sometimes lies so the only way you can be sure of avoiding a death is to look through each door and see. On the other hand, you could just pick the right door and think he was lying.
