    Bad Riddle Time!

    Like This Thread!
    Well....we need something new for this board, and this seemed sappy enough to work.

    Here we go...and come on, guess it! Prove you're more clever than the rest!

    What is old, has hands, and toils on the hour?
    Signature. A noun. It is, in internet terms, a series of words, phrases, and pictures at the end of every post used to make posts more fun to look at and show the user's uniqueness.

    ....I wish I had a decent one.

    Well, that was quick. Now see if you can get this one:

    Little Miss Etticoat,
    In a white petticoat,
    And a red nose.
    The longer she stands,
    The shorter she grows.
    "Pinky, my parents...they're driving me insane!"
    "Egad Brain, really? Ooh, well that kinda leaves me without much to do..."

    It could be, now that you mention it, but there's another answer to this that's a little more obscure. Think...what else grows shorter with time...?

    It's--

    --a candle.

    Here's one I tried unscuccessfully to stump my former boss with: What is it a man does standing, a woman does sitting, and a dog does with one legs raised ?

    Here's one borrowed from Lewis Carroll:

    I have a log that weighs exactly one pound.
    I use a saw to cut it into four pieces of equal weight.
    What is the weight of each piece?
    (Everyone says 1/4 lb. which is wrong)

    I remember that.....was there even an answer?


    While people are trying to figure that one out...anyone wanna break out the GRY riddle?
    And besides, most people look at this type of topic unrealistically. They are all under the apparent misconception tha--oh, wait. Is my post over? Ah, okay.

    There was an answer...if you can't figure out the actual number, I'll accept an explanation of your reasoning.

    Well.......when you use a saw, there are usually shavings of the wood that fall off, so it's NOT exactly one pound anymore.


    Was that right?

    Close to right?

    COME ON!!!

    Well, the reasoning is right, though each piece would be less than 1/4 pound. Besides, you already read it, so you cheated and don't get the prize. I get to eat all the Cheez-Its myself.

    Wha....I NEVER GOT THE ANSWER!!!! My teacher read the riddles to us and told us to solve them BY THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR! AND DO YOU KNOW WHERE I AM?! A DIFFERENT SCHOOL!!!


    I'm mad at you right now. But you can keep the Cheez-Its, I don't like them anyway.

    Uh-oh! Did you put a (TM) on those?! Ooooooooooohhh, the legal team is gonna come over and sue you good!

    Okay, fair enough. I thought that you already had the answer.

    *Hands Danielle Cheez-Its*

    I know you don't like 'em, but you won so you get 'em anyways. HA!

    You didn't put a (TM) after it either...

    But don't worry, I'll help bust you out of prison and escape to Canada.

    Yep, that's the right answer! (to mine, anyway). I'll have to give Joe's some more thought.

    And in case you don't make it to Canada...Danielle, Jack, I'll see you during visiting hours!
