Walk on the living, they don't even mumble
Walk on the dead they mutter and grumble

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?
nome
the letter e?
hershey

You are very correct! fing05.gif

What falls but never breaks?
What breaks but never falls?
bart
night & day?
nome
*nods* that's it!
bart
Oh right, that will mean I nead to find another riddle then.
bart
And here it is....

QUOTE
What can be driven, but has no wheels.
And can be sliced, and still remain whole?
Yoda
no answer but I thought I should share my original thought: cattle laugh.gif This was of course prior to seeing the second line of the riddle

Yoda, slice the cow and...it's a cow! sorcerer.gif ta-da!
bart
Depends whether you're Damien Hirst or not... wink.gif

But you're still wrong, not that you will be suprised.


bart
nome
a ball? (line drive, a slice in golf...)
FlorenceWeasleySnape
Is it a golf ball? I think a golf ball is the answer...

...is it' sly.gif (LOVE THAT FACE!)
bart
And Nome is the first to get it corrrect!

QUOTE
A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?


This one is way easy... Sorry! huh.gif
hockeygod
Where did that come from? We are all anxiously awaiting for nome to post a new riddle.
FlorenceWeasleySnape
It came from the fact that no one was posting a riddle.

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

New riddle:
QUOTE
Runs over fields and woods all day, Under the bed at night sits not alone, With long tongue hanging out, A-waiting for a bone. What is it?


Of course, being a riddle, the obvious answer is incorrect.
Roxanne
A shoe?

( 061.gif Hey, y'all! I'm ba-ack!)

nome
That's it! thumbup1.gif
Roxanne
Kewl!

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

Yoda, suspecting the latter, hoping for the former
bart
Hope i'ts a convertable, and you have a parachute...?
nome
...my vote is to stop imagining.
Roxanne
Nome, you got it!

QUOTE
I am used to bat with, yet I never get a hit.
I am near a ball, yet it is never thrown.
What am I?
QuickHare
biggrin.gif Sounds like me playing baseball or cricket.

Actually, after much thinking, I reckon it's an eyelash. To batter an eyelash and near the eyeball?
nome
right in one.
QuickHare
I am directionless but going forward,
I don’t move but always flowing,
I can cure but am no medic,
I can tell, but I know not.

What am I?
Drie
the truth?
Yoda
are you perhaps....time?

Yoda, perhapsing
QuickHare
You perhaps in the unlikeliest way, yoda, but you are correct. It is time. Those who have been guessing but not posting, you can stop kicking yourselves now.

sly.gif Yoda: The task has fallen to you to place the next riddle. Make sure you have thought wisely, small hobbit. It is dangerous out there.....
Yoda
The riddle

My firsts (2) start in demo, destruction delight,
My seconds (3) the peak that sits on my head,
My thirds (2) are by King, a scary fright,
My fourths (2) are a part of how I'm addressed,
My fifths (3) are flattening clothes with no r
My whole is what's going to happen to....bat

((x), where x is a number, is how many letters for each part in the question)


Clues

firsts: in the question
seconds: what has peaks beside mountains?
thirds: think book
fourths: think e-mail
fifths: think atoms
and on the whole: think French Revolution

Yoda, biggrin.gif
Entropy
Decapitation?

My head hurts now.
Yoda
*transfers Entropy's head pain to bart* Where is he?

Absolutely correct by the way, Entropy, your turn smile.gif

I want to use the Labyrinth one, because I finally figured out the real answer a while ago, but that seems like more of a movie quote.

Riddle:
What kind of water never freezes?
hockeygod
hot water?
Entropy
Clap, clap, you're right.
Sorry I'm not better at thinking of riddles.
hockeygod
Wow, I got a riddle right.
I'll have a new one for everyone tomorrow.
hockeygod
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!
Roxanne
The customer had hiccups?

hockeygod
Uh-huh. Now you get to give us the next riddle.
Roxanne
Whoever makes me, sells me. Whoever buys me doesn't need me. Whoever needs me doesn't buy me. What am I?

hockeygod
a coffin?
Della_Luna
Darnit...one riddle I know and I'm too late. Ah well...stinks for me.
Roxanne
You're up, hockeygod!
hockeygod
I got another one? Are you sure that was the correct answer? Oh well, here's another riddle...

"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."

Good Luck...
