  4. Em The Hot Pink Bunny says:

    well i posted my rules on the fresh start thread, but ill repost them here.

    RIDDLE GAME

    rules

    1. one person starts by asking a riddle, and the other persons try to guess it.

    2. the first person who gets it right has to ask the next riddle, or someone else could use their answer.

    3. if you don’t want to ask the next riddle, don’t tell the answer.

    4. any riddle-type thing is fine. don’t ask a riddle that is absolutely impossible to answer.

    5. the first person to ask a riddle that nobody can answer, wins.

    6. when everybody agree’s that they can’t answer your riddle, you must tell the answer (so we know that there actually was one)

    the only problem with this is it depends on peoples knowing some riddles. hopefully since you asked for a riddle thread you do.

    Okay, I’ll start out. Yes, I have posted this before. You’re not imagining things.

    What is greater than God,
    Worse than the devil,
    Poor people have it,
    Rich people want it,
    And if you eat it you die.

    Nothing. okay, a riddle that sounds disgusting but the answer isn’t:

    while walking in the valley
    I broke her neck
    and drank her blood
    and left her body lying there.
    what is sister Sally?

    The answer is nothing. Nothing is greater then God (objectively), nothing is worse then the devil (again objectively), poor people have nothing (obec tivelyyyyy), rich people want nothing (o-b-j-e-c-t-i-v-e-l-y), and if you eat nothing you die (this part’s true).

    RG, if anyone wants to do this one.

    A horse is tied to a rope fifteen feet long. A bunch of hay is thirty feet away. No wind is blowing, and the rope stays intact. Yet somehow, the horse manages to get the hay. How?

  36. lilbro777 who is still not doing her hw, and instead is posting on the blog and doodling says:

    Pie 0
    Squid 0
  37. Phoenix says:

    RG

    the horse is the max away from the hay allowed by the rope. the peg, the center point of the rope, is 15 feet from the hay. therefore the horse can walk the thirty feet to the opposite extent of the rope and eat the hay.
    Or the rope is hanging loose.

    easy one (Sphinx can’t answer it):

  39. lilbro777 who has done her hw, but is now extremely bored says:

    now this:

    once, there was an old king, and he had no heirs. he knew that his time was almost over, so he called a contest to determine who would reign after him. the contest was open to everyone who wanted to participate. all one had to do to become the kings heir was to dance, throw a spear into the air, and count to ten before it hit the ground. a rather stuck up noble went first. his dance was terrible, and he only got to 3 before the spear fell and knocked him out. as he was dragged away, a prince from a neighboring kingdom came in the hopes of ruling two kingdoms instead of one. he was a good deal more gracful than the noble, but he was only to 5 when the spear hit the ground, narrowly missing him. and so it went, for hours and hours. at last, a thin stable boy with a mop of brown hair stepped forward and asked if he might have a try? the nobles all laughed and told him to go muck out a stall or something, but the king, who had a kind heart, told him to try. the boy was by far the most graceful and nimble of the contesters so far, having spent most of his life dodging blows. he easily counted to ten before the spear hit the ground, or rather, he caught it after counting to ten. how did he do it?

    I don’t know any riddles! I’m an answer man, not a question man. But I have found a great Web site with a collection of Old English (Anglo-Saxon) riddles from the Exeter Book, including this one.

    Tolkienites will enjoy it. It begins:

    Middle-earth is made lovely in unmatched
    Ways rich and rare. Across the hall
    I saw a creature singing-nothing wilder
    In the haunts of men...

    I don’t think you can fire queens. You have to depose them, lock them up in a tower or dungeon, and eventually behead them. If they escape, you can declare them exiled. Firing, though, seems thoroughly unroyal.

    Latin joke.

    A Centurion is stomping back towards Rome along the Appian Way. he hasn’t had a good day. He needs a drink. He stomps into a roadside tavern and slumps onto a stool at the bar.

    “Yes, Centurion?” says the barkeeper.

    “Give me a Martinus” says the centurion.

    “Er – you mean Martini, don’t you?” asks the barkeeper.

    Centurion, gruffly : “Look, mate, if I want a double, I’ll ask for one!”

  127. Lizzie says:

    Kricket- in latin, the plural of a word ending in “us” is “i”. So, for example, actually never mind because suddenly I can’t think of any second declention verbs… Oh, got one. The plural of “cactus” (you know those spiky plants?) is “cacti”. The “us” is replaced by an “i”, as opposed to being “cactuses”.

    Most words that end in “us” are Latin (masculine singular, plural “i”). So are most words that end in “um” (neuter singular, plural “a”).

    Oh well. Latin isn’t that bad i guess. I can walk up to random people and say random things like “Cave! Puella baculo!” and watch them stare in confusion as i calmly walk away leaving them pondering the vast amount of things they don’t know.

    I have this funny idea for a political joke that would be great on the internet.

    MINI-SCRIPT:

    1. Show short video of excited male chimp. Jumping up and down, slapping the ground, and generally behaving like a big jerk.

    2. Show short video of Bill O’ Rielly on ‘The O’ Rielly Factor’ losing his temper, and shouting at a guest (who cannot be seen in the shot).

    3. Morph image of tantrum throwing male chimp, onto the guest chair, and replay the video of Bill shouting. Only this time, take out the actual shouting, and replace it, with what sounds like another agressive male chimp.

    Read chapter 13, of Al Franken’s ‘Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them,’ to learn more about Bill O’ Lielly.
