i've been confused with this one (okay, so i'm more than simple) and been up thinking about it. i cannot get an answer!
*sniffles*

here's another riddle for ya:

What is it men love more than life,
Fear more than death or mortal strife,
The poor man has, the rich require,
The contented man's desire,
The miser spends, the spendthrift saves,
And all men carry to their graves?

p.s. anyone thought of an answer to PILOT's riddle...i can't think...-.-;...i hope this doesn't mean...nah...

Soba
08-19-2003, 07:54 PM
hmmmmm...man, got it wrong. *sigh* how dumb can i be, i heard that riddle in fourth grade...

new riddle:

a man and his donkey were heading towards town. the donkey, tired from caring the big bags of sugar jumped into a pond. when he came back out, the load was lighter. this angered the man.
the next two days, the donkey would jump into the water to lighten the load, until, one day, the man put a different bag on the donkey's back.
when the donkey jumped into the water, instead of the bags becoming lighter, they became heavier. what was in the bags that became heavier instead of lighter when hit by water?

JoshMan
08-19-2003, 08:23 PM
ill say there was nothing in the bag, so the bag filled up with water, if im rite im surprising myself as well

GohanX
08-19-2003, 08:24 PM

Make sure you are relaxed. Keep your eyes on the lighter areas where the black lines intersect. You should probably notice circles coming from the center of the design. The trick is that a light color appears brighter when it contrasts against a darker color. So, people see the areas adjacent to the intersections to be slightly brighter, causing what appears to be circles.

JoshMan
08-21-2003, 12:03 AM
ive never fallen for that moses joke, heres one youve probly heard:

JoshMan
08-21-2003, 12:23 AM
no, its the letter "m"
heres another:
what is the centre of gravity?

Asheron
08-21-2003, 01:01 AM

JoshMan
08-21-2003, 02:53 AM
its not a water balloon, if u want to no what it is, pm icedragon-snake, i would tell u, but i promised not to

Soba
08-21-2003, 02:53 AM
lol! nope not a waterballoon....

Asheron: if you were answering my riddle, you got it correct. smoke makes people cry tears, but not of sorrow, because it stings at your eyes after a while. You can't catch smoke with your hands. And it rises to the heavens above as soon as it's outside.

JoshMan
08-21-2003, 03:05 AM
thats a pretty good riddle, i never woulda thot of that

riddle: (I don't know if any of ye heard of this, but i'm gonna rephrase it and take some stuff out as extra precaution)

a girl's mother was a part of NASA, right? So she threw a going away party for her mum when she was going to go on a 'mission'. During the party, the girl saw a cute guy there, so they talked and then parted when the party was over. She didn't get his name.
...A few weeks later, the girl kicked her sister out of her apartment, and threw a going away party for her. Why would she do that?

Cloud Strife
08-22-2003, 05:47 AM
because she wanted the guy to come so she threw a party and wanted the guy to live wit her so she kicked her sister out:lmao:
