i'll give you that. the official answer was Bacon.

Two cops walked into a room with no windows and found a dead man who obviously hung himself from the ceiling, though they couldn't figure out how. There was no chair beneath him that he might have jumped off of, or a table. Just a puddle of water.
How'd he do it?

now this one is tough.

Wings of Fire 06-18-2009 07:36 AM

Stood on a large icecube. I remember hearing a similar one, I'll post it if I can remember this evening.

EDIT: Extra details: Because it was an icecube it slowly melted under his feet till it reached the point of the rope going taut and managing to suffocate him. Nasty way to go, you'd never be able to break your own neck like that.

MA 06-18-2009 09:16 AM

jesus that is a bad way to go. your right anyway.
stats are;

OddjobAbe: 12
BM: 1
ArtemisPanthar: 9
MA: 4
Kastere: 7
MeechMunchie: 5
Laser: 4
Mojo: 2
Wings of Fire: 6
Nate: 1
OANST: 2
shaman: 4
drag0nbane442: 1

OddjobAbe is still in the lead with ArtemisPanthar not far behind.

A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bale of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bale of hay.
How is this possible?

another one which will make you kick yourself once you know the answer.

OddjobAbe 06-18-2009 09:21 AM

The rope isn't tied to anything.
Or he can reach the barrel and knock it over towards him.
Or he doesn't eat from it while he's tied up.

I'm out of ideas.

MA 06-18-2009 10:19 AM

your right with it being not tied to anything.

I cannot be felt, seen or touched;
Yet I can be found in everybody;
My existence is always in debate;
Yet I have my own style of music.
What Am I?

OddjobAbe 06-18-2009 10:35 AM

Soul. That one was very easy indeed.

MA 06-18-2009 10:36 AM

CORRECT.

I can sizzle like bacon,
I am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg,
I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,
I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole,
What am I?

quite a clever one.

OddjobAbe 06-18-2009 10:40 AM

A snake?

MA 06-18-2009 10:47 AM

yes. i thought that would be quite difficult.

Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What is it.

we've had this answer before.

a shadow?

MA 06-19-2009 06:36 AM

correct.

I am slim and tall,
Many find me desirable and appealing.
They touch me and I give a false good feeling.
Once I shine in splendor,
But only once and then no more.
For many I am "to die for".
What am I?

OddjobAbe 06-19-2009 06:42 AM

I must resist a puerile penis joke.

I think it's a cigarette/cigar. The "to die for" bit gives it away.

MA 06-19-2009 06:46 AM

ha, surprisingly i didnt think of that. and yes, a cigarette.

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.
What am I?

once again, we have had this answer before.

OddjobAbe 06-19-2009 06:47 AM

A plant? But I don't believe that plants breath as such. Or dance.

EDIT: I just searched the answer. I'm kicking myself now.

MA 06-19-2009 07:10 AM

i thought of a plant at first as well. i mean you could say they dance when the wind blows against them. but no, not the right answer.

Wings of Fire 06-19-2009 08:36 AM

Wind?

shaman 06-19-2009 10:16 AM

Fire?

OANST 06-19-2009 01:02 PM

Definitely fire.

MA 06-19-2009 01:41 PM

your both right, fire.

What tree is most warmly clad?

bit of an easy one.

Wings of Fire 06-19-2009 01:44 PM

Ash? WAIT NO FIR!

MA 06-19-2009 01:46 PM

CORRECT.

A time when they’re green, a time when they’re brown,
But both of these times, cause me to frown.
But just in between, for a very short while,
They’re perfect and yellow, and cause me to smile!
What am I talking about here?

Wings of Fire 06-19-2009 01:48 PM

'Nanas

MA 06-19-2009 01:50 PM

yep, and there's a few of them 'round here!
oh how funny i am.

I come in different shapes and sizes.
Part of me are curves, others are straight.
You can put me anywhere you like, but there is only one right place for me.
What am I?

Nate 06-19-2009 06:46 PM

I must resist a puerile penis joke...

But I've got nothing else.

MA 06-20-2009 04:54 AM

ha, the latest riddles seem to be revolving around that. funnily enough i dont think of it until someone points it out.

OANST 06-20-2009 06:01 AM

Yeah. How is the answer to that not penis?

Wings of Fire 06-20-2009 08:08 AM

Key.

OANST 06-20-2009 08:21 AM

Key.

Just another word for penis.

Wings of Fire 06-20-2009 09:30 AM

Find me a penis with perfectly straight bits.

MA 06-20-2009 09:39 AM

that would mean that this riddle is saying there is a soulmate vagina out there for every penis.

and no, it isnt key.
