Riddle: Four is half of five. How?
hershey

IV is four in Roman numerals and thus is half of FIVE.
What is at the beginning of eternity and the end, in the middle of the present moment, and at the end of space and time?

no answer but I thought I should share my original thought: cattle
This was of course prior to seeing the second line of the riddle
Yoda, slice the cow and...it's a cow!

Where did that come from? We are all anxiously awaiting for nome to post a new riddle.

It came from the fact that no one was posting a riddle.
Ignore it...

to answer the previous riddle, just 'cause I like it, the farmer did. The fieldhand carried two sacks -- empty ones.
New riddle:

Of course, being a riddle, the obvious answer is incorrect.

Here's the next one:
Imagine you are driving a car. The steering locks, the brakes fail, the gas tank is full, there is no sunroof, the doors are jammed, the windows won't open, the gas pedal stays down when you take your foot off and to make it worse, you're heading for a cliff! You are an inch from the edge of the cliff. What should you do?
Yoda

There are two ways to do this:
One: Push the little red button
Two: Shove the car into reverse

Ok, here it is. I thought it was hard so someone will get it in a couple of minutes.
A man walks into a pub and sits down at the bar, and simply orders a water. The bartender looks at the man, and then, quickly pulls out a shotgun and points it at the man. The man says "Thank you," and leaves. Why did they behave this way?
Good Luck!

And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball."
