Woah, I really ought to check this thread more often. I only just found out it was a contest. And mollucks assistant, hair was correct, obviously enough.

EDIT: Here's another:
The more you take away the bigger it gets. What is it?
as well as
The more you dry the wetter it gets. What is it?

mojo is correct, an echo.

a man pushes his car to a hotel, pays the owner of the hotel and pushes his car away.
what was he doing?

this one's a bit tricky.

***Nate*** · #93 06-06-2009, 07:58 AM

Well, you didn't specify that he didn't stay the night at the hotel before paying.

Paying for a lost bet with the hotel owner in which he claimed to be able to push his car to the hotel within ten minutes. He had also betted his friend that he could push the car back from the hotel to the house within ten minutes, and so will soon lose more money.

Mac Sirloin · #98 06-06-2009, 01:47 PM

An intangible, happy excreting pterodactyl.

Or maybe time.

OddjobAbe · #99 06-06-2009, 01:49 PM

Is it time? Because today's flown.

EDIT: Oh, fuck, Kastere bet me.

Mac Sirloin · #**100** 06-06-2009, 01:53 PM

Mollucks assistant, you are correct with towel.

Laser · #**104** 06-07-2009, 06:26 AM

Money?

MA · #**105** 06-07-2009, 06:37 AM

that would fit well but isnt the answer.

it isnt physical.

Laser · #**106** 06-07-2009, 06:42 AM

Is it...advice?

MA · #**107** 06-07-2009, 12:36 PM

never so cursed,
as when i go astray.

A baseball? Or a dart/arrow ?

Mac Sirloin · #**109** 06-07-2009, 03:22 PM

MA, it's a Raft.

MA · #**110** 06-07-2009, 03:27 PM

good answers, but think more related to toilet humour.
sometimes it is disliked.

Well, I promised myself I'd confess if I got one wrong.

I've cheated on like, all of my answers. I'm sorry for ruining the spirit of this, as it was a good idea. I feel shitty about it.

MA · #**112** 06-08-2009, 08:48 AM

i had a feeling. and to be honest i myself noticed the answer to a riddle someone had posted here in a book of mine.

dont worry about it, i'm almost certain that other users did exactly the same. the record stands.

and the answer was a fart.

jacks mother has 4 children. the first was called north, the second was called south, and the third was called east.
what was the fourth called?

OddjobAbe · #**113** 06-08-2009, 08:56 AM

I've got it - Jack. That was easy.

Wings of Fire · #**114** 06-08-2009, 09:03 AM

Riddle me, riddle me, randy ro
My father gave me seeds to sow
The seed was black and the ground was white
Riddle me that and I'll give you a pipe!

MA · #**115** 06-08-2009, 09:14 AM

OddjobAbe is correct.

would that be an opium pipe? it sounds like you've been on it too long if it is.
meagre guessing attempt: is it pepper being spread on salt?

i dont think i've posted this riddle;

a man was looking at a photo and said "Brothers and sisters i have none. that mans father is my fathers son."
who was in the photograph?

OddjobAbe · #**116** 06-08-2009, 09:16 AM

A Priest. Or Jesus. Or a half-brother.

Incorrect, it's an old Irish riddle, and was common among schoolchildren because of the staggering amount of innuendo it contains :P but the answer is quite mundane.

MA · #**118** 06-08-2009, 09:38 AM

not right OddjobAbe.

really dodgy guess but, is he making flour? black seeds which are then ground into white powder?
(i'm going with the notion that 'ground' could mean 'grind'.)

The man who was looking at the photo.

MA · #**120** 06-08-2009, 09:45 AM

bloody good answer, but its incorrect.

this one really is a noggin-noodler.
the answer can be found if you read it closely and workout his family tree.
