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.

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..."
Could she be a snowma...er...snowwoman? One with a red button nose?
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...?Originally posted by Joe Tully

I'm not good @ these it seams..=]

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.Originally posted by Joe Tully

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.

G.A.C. is coming! And it will destroy us all....or not, you'll have to wait and see.
