Try these RIDDLES!
 
Brainteasers are nice, but I'm more of a riddle person (plus they are shorter and easier to type...lol)

Ok... I'll start:

What gets bigger the more people take from it?

What has no lock nor takes no key, but holds gold inside?

Anyone?

Evil Chris 02-26-2003 08:15 AM

Oh I'm terrible at these... but I like them.

2nd one is an EGG?

XXXPhoto 02-26-2003 09:46 AM

EC:

Yup, egg is correct... number one is a slapper... once someone posts
the answer you'll slap your forehead...lol

zoe_zoebaboe 02-26-2003 09:58 AM

Is it one of those weird answers like greed?

Or is an actual object

XXXPhoto 02-26-2003 10:03 AM

Zoe...

It is a noun... ;)

zoe_zoebaboe 02-26-2003 10:05 AM

What gets wetter as it dries?

XXXPhoto 02-26-2003 10:14 AM

Zoe:

A towel or bath towel, yes?

Here's another one:

What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than the trees, sinking deep below your sight, dying in the harsh sunlight?

Halfway... cause after that the person is running OUT of the woods..
haha.. thats a cool one.

EDIT: Dammit Lee ... i thought i was smart for getting that one and then i find out you posted while I was typing.

_ED:

You are correct sir! Evil Chris is giving handjobs to all the winners today... Please RSVP with FunB at noon Saturday Feb 29th...:D

EDIT: Yes dammit Lee... I was posting reply to _ED and you snuck that in on me... NO HANDJOB for you... lmao

This one is still unanswered:

"What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than the trees, sinking deep below your sight, dying in the harsh sunlight?"

Lee 02-26-2003 10:58 AM

Oops thought someone had already answered it...

A mountain :)

Lee

The first half of that Is a riddle from The Hobbit.
The answer was a mountain... but it goes like this...

What has roots as nobody sees, Is taller than trees, Up up it goes, And yet never grows.


EDIT : Damnit lee... you did it again ... haha

Lee:

Gary would throttle me... Besides, if you read what I posted earlier very closely, you will see I delegated Evil Chris to the task of handjob detail. He's Canadian, they know all about that type of thing; almost as much as some Europeans... :rolleyes:

Zoe:

Yuppers, you got it too!


_ED & Lee:

No, this one is very similar to that one from the Hobbit, but mountain is not the correct answer... You are warm, but need to get colder... ;)

"What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than the trees, sinking deep below your sight, dying in the harsh sunlight?"


Venom 02-26-2003 11:19 AM

its the fuckin polar icecaps aint it or a cave or some shit like that :)

_ED 02-26-2003 11:23 AM

an Iceburg ?

XXXPhoto 02-26-2003 11:33 AM

Venom:

Close....

_ED:

Yes, figured the warm/cold hint would get ya going in right direction. Good call on that Hobbit connection, I knew I'd heard that one from somewhere; but they'd added that one line at end...

OK... This one is relevant for Adult Webmasters...lol

"What must you hang on to and not lose, lest your brothers find lost as well?"

Evil Chris 02-26-2003 01:59 PM

Oh I didn't know I was on handjob duty today... (pulling out rubber gloves) :laughout:

Visualad 02-26-2003 02:03 PM

Didn't you get the memo Chris?

The real question is why did you have a box of rubber gloves at hand.... hmmm.... That's a good riddle... lol

XXXPhoto 02-28-2003 06:56 AM

Goodness... thought for sure someone would get this one by now...

"What must you hang on to and not lose, lest your brothers find lost as well?"

Will wait a few more hours and post answer if no one gets it... Board readers should know it by heart... ;)

troll 03-05-2003 03:58 PM

here's one:

I caught my Mother kissing my Fathers Sisters only Brother.

Who was she kissing?
