Native Poser · #1 04-17-2003, 09:52 PM

Got any good riddles? Try this one

What becomes increasingly wet as it dries?

oddling · #2 04-17-2003, 10:42 PM

I dunno, heres a riddle though;

You're plain just crashed and you are the only survivor. You find shelter in a dark cave but you only have one match. You have a kerosine lamp, a pike of sticks, and a candle, which do you light first?

The match

Big_Bro_Slig222 · #4 04-17-2003, 10:49 PM

This box,
has no key or lid,
but golden treasure,
inside is hid.

30 white horses,
on a red hill,
first they champ,
them they stamp,
then they stand still.

The first one is a dragon egg. Duh, I have that game. I heard the second one before but don't know what it is.

Oddling l:c l

Native Poser · #6 04-17-2003, 10:51 PM

Chessnuts is the answer to the first I think?

Edit: The second I believe would be teeth. I heard both riddles from The Hobbit

Big_Bro_Slig222 · #7 04-17-2003, 10:52 PM

The first one wasnt from a game, and egg was a simple enough answer.

Edit: Damn you ya Poser! You wernt supposed to say it if you read the book!

Native Poser · #8 04-17-2003, 10:59 PM

Sorry, How about this one?

For every one of them you take, you leave one behind

Got it, a towel. For native poser's question, footsteps, for happyguy936's question, a river, I think. Heres another one.

What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs at night?

Oddling l:c l

Big_Bro_Slig222 · #13 04-18-2003, 04:43 PM

The answer is man, oddling.

Glukkon killer · #14 04-18-2003, 06:10 PM

What gets bigger the more you take away?

Native Poser · #15 04-19-2003, 12:30 AM

Yes, it was a towel. As for GK's riddle, is it a hole? Try these two:

You use a knife to slice my head, and
weep beside me when I am dead.

I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball

What the hell, the first one isn't even a real riddle. And for the second one, thats not a riddle either... do you even know what a riddle is? Geez...

EDIT: And o yea, Native Poser, is the answer to your first one an onion? I damn suck at riddles, but its my best guess...

And for your second one, I'd put something cheesy like hope, but that just sounds... dumb. Like I said, I damn suck at riddles

Glukkon killer · #17 04-19-2003, 07:13 AM

Yeah Native Poster it is a hole.
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
I don't actually kbow the answer though...just wondered why IS a raven like a writing desk?

I've never liked this one: It doesn't really make sence. I know the explanation: Babies walk on four legs (crawling), adults walk on two legs (two legs), and old people have walking sticks, making three. But here's the bit that is stupid: People don't have their whole lives in one day!

:

The life of the wife is ended by the knife.
Ok I heard that on Family Guy.

It's just a metaphor. The early years of live are morning, the middle afternoon, and the evening the end.

Native Poser · #20 04-19-2003, 02:30 PM

Majic_Abe got my first one, it was an onion. But the second wasn't hope, Good guess though!

Bad guess -> Is it life?

Here's one, can't remember anything but this line.

It travels all over the world and still it stays right beside you.

Native Poser · #22 04-19-2003, 10:06 PM

Is it (a) Shadow(s)? And no the answer to mine wasn't life.

No! Metaphors are stupid! They aren't real! Similes, not theres something that's true, as they say 'like', they don't change things!

Try this one:

Many have fallen but none have died.
Many have lost me and restlessly cried.
Many have I taken eternally
And many I have denied.

ethan · #26 04-20-2003, 04:27 PM

:

I'm not to sure about this one but i think that is has to deal with a relacionship

many relacionships have fallen ,but have not died.
many lost loved ones ,and constantly cried.
they take eternity to find another one, but they've been denied

Native Poser · #27 04-20-2003, 05:14 PM

Erm...nah dont think so, never heard that one before.

oddling · #28 04-21-2003, 09:57 PM

Allright heres one,

It was here in the begining, and will be here in the end,
it is more powerful than a bear, and weaker than a kitten
it is greater than great, and lesser than less,
and if you eat it, you will die.

Oddling l:c l

Native Poser · #29 04-22-2003, 10:21 PM

Ack! I know I've heard this one....but never solved it...

Nope, but it was a good guess... A very good guess.
