@TheAmazingOopah - that is correct

@Rav, that certainly is essencial anti-vampire and anti-Nar tool, since I hate the smell.

Here's one, that I read in a book - I'm not sure if it's posted before, but if you have read the book (you know which one)/already know the riddle, please don't answer inmediately, let the others try first.

No-legs lay on one-leg,
Two-legs sat nearby on three-legs,
Four-legs got some.

Hint: It's not a traditional riddle, as it doesn't have one answer, but rather three (one for each line). Just tell me which scene I'm describing.

It's from 'The Hobbit', right?

Apparently you have read the book, sir!

Future?

Close enough. The answer is tomorrow.

Yay! Am I good or what?

Here's an easy one, stolen from the Goble of Fire:
(strictly for children under 12)

"First think of the person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies,
Next tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
The middle of middle and end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard,
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?"

A pity I can't think of anything else right now

Yup, you have to guess if you're under 12 and haven't read the book

What about if you're over 12 and haven't read any of the Harry Potter book or seen any of the films?

Posting a new riddle:

Chuck, a bestselling author of romantic fiction, had suspected for some time that his wife Eva was unfaithful, though he had no proof. One afternoon, while Chuck was working on his latest bodice-ripper, Eva mentioned that she intended to go to the movies and would be out for a few hours. As Eva went to the door, Chuck looked at her pensively, then resumed his work. Three hours later, Eva returned, took her coat off and asked Chuck weather he wanted some coffee. When she returned from the kitchen, Chuck asked her to sit down as he wanted to talk to her.
"Eva," he said, "I want a divorce."
Can you figure out how he knew?

She forgot and left her blouse in the movie theater.

Is no one going to try to answer the 'legs riddle' that I posted earlier?

Or has everyone on this board read the book that I got it from?

I would guess that she left without a coat, and returned with one - which she probably left at the house of her lover the last time she went there.

I read the book, a long time ago. Don't remember the answer, though

.

Wrong answers on my riddle. Keep guessing.

It was the afternoon. She was going to the movie theater. She didnt need a coat.

If wrong, can we have a hint?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 9:41 am

Yeah that was wrong.

A hint? You're new at this aren't you?

Highlight the following for a clue:

He finds out from something she's wearing.

Hill-Shatar · Post by **Hill-Shatar** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 9:46 am

Nice hint. We had already figured as much.

Wearing or not wearing? You could say she had not purse, so she may not have taken her keys. ITs stilll 8 in the morning here. This isnt my best work.

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 9:52 am

*sigh* How many clues do you need?

Something she was wearing when she left and still is when she returns.

Subtle enough?

Hill-Shatar · Post by **Hill-Shatar** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 9:53 am

Id edit that. I dont need hints, and I doubts many others want it right now too...

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 9:54 am

*calls your bluff*

Oh well, if you don't need hints, go ahead and tell me the answer.

I'm waiting...

TheAmazingOopah · Post by **TheAmazingOopah** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 11:00 am

Okay, without reading the second hint (I read the first one, but I already thought about something like that):

When she returns, her blouse (or anything else she's wearing on the upper side of her body) is inside out. Oh my! How could this be???

Well, right answer or wrong answer, my favourite telivision moment of the week has arrived: Two episodes of The Simpsons, starts rrrrrright now!
