p.s. What's a 'hearse'?

The vehicle used for carrying coffins. Mostly black, but sometimes you see the white ones. And it won't take you back...because you are dead.

Ah... No wonder I didn't know

Ah yes, like a limousine, only with a mourning edge to it. I actually rode with one once, and it did bring me back - since I wasn't lying in the coffin.

Good riddle. I still could've gotten the answer, without knowing the name. Ah, well.

My riddle is solved. Well done, everyone

A man was found dead out in a field of snow. The ony tracks that were left was a set of footprints between two parallel lines. Who should the police be looking for?

I also updated the rules- people not to post if they already know the answer.

Someone with a sledge?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 11:18 am

No. That's not the answer I'm looking for.

TheAmazingOopah · Post by **TheAmazingOopah** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 12:11 pm

Hmm, but you do mean that the lines do not stop, and really are paralel to eachother?

Like this:

A man with a unicycle (brought the body on it and cycled back ?)

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 3:59 pm

Continous lines. And no, not a unicycle.

How about...a crazy guy in a wheelchair.

First guess? You are good.

I am slim and tall,
Many find me desirable and appealing.
They touch me and I give a false good feeling.
Once I shine in splendor,
But only once and then no more.
For many I am "to die for".
What am I?

Aaaaah I know this one

.

And I hate the answer, the riddle is good, but the thing that represents the answer, well I'm anti it.

This riddle might last a while then? If you already know the answer.

And I hate the answer, the riddle is good, but the thing that represents the answer, well I'm anti it.

Ditto.

Good to hear

.

But yes, let's hope Brynn or TAO can solve it quickly.

Don't hold your breath.

I'll give you another to work on in the meantime:

James ordered a fishing rod, priced at $3.56. Unfortunately, James is an Eskimo who lives in a very remote part of Greenland and the import rules there forbid any package longer than 4 feet to be imported. The fishing rod was 4 feet and 1 inch, just a little too long, so how can the fishing rod be mailed to James without breaking the rules? Ideally James would like the fishing rod to arrive in one piece!

Damn, I know this one too. Can I still answer it?

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 4:25 am

You know most of these. Or guess them correctly fast enough to. A third riddle- this is the last otherwise it'll just get too confusing....

On a rainy day,
at the end of the Play,
what does the director say?

No answering riddles you already know the answer to.

dj_venom · Post by **dj_venom** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 4:35 am

Ah ha! I just figured out what I 'think' it is.

That's over cast

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 5:10 am

Ah, yes. Well done. Do you want another riddle to 'figure out'?

What is it that when you take away the whole, you still have some left over?
