Okay, I know a lot of boards have a riddle thread. I thought it may be fun to have one here. I'll start with a riddle that many may know . . . feel free to post your answer below, or add a new one!
A man is lying dead on the ground. Next to him is a rock. The man's death is because of the rock, but he did not get hit with the rock, nor did he trip over the rock. Who is the man, how did he die, and what kind of rock is it?
Feel free to ask questions, and good luck!

What does "wayhey" mean? I heard it on Quidditch World Cup and wondered what it meant.

One rule to add to this thread as I have seen similar things spoilt on other sites
Only the poster of the Riddle may say whether your answer is correct or not and then pass the baton on to you so please wait for them to post/congratulate you etc etc should that someone not pop in for a day or two only then start a new clue

Ok...and the next riddle is.....
A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis: The Wife said she was sleeping. The Cook was cooking breakfast. The Gardener was picking vegetables. The Maid was getting the mail. The Butler was cleaning the closet. The police instantly arrested the murderer. Who did it and how did they know?
Happy Riddling!

Della_Luna

It goes up, but at the same time goes down.
Up toward the sky, and down toward the ground.
It's present tense and past tense too,
come for a ride, just me and you.
Have fun!

It's a see-saw (but I had to Google to find the answer - is that cheating?)

Okay, here's the next riddle:
What English word can have 4 of its 5 letters removed and still retain its original pronunciation?
(There are two possible answers to this one that I know of, though one is debatable as to whether it's a proper word. Extra brownie points
if you get both answers!)

This is a hard one Roxanne!!
Any clues?

who is is going to let others have a go first, though if you want a clue you will have to get in line and wait like everybody else.
