I'm one of five, I'm not alive.

The one who received me died.

Excellent, another riddle solved and another posed....

What are the 2 longest words in the English language that can be typed using only your left hand on the keyboard?

dj_venom · Post by **dj_venom** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 5:51 am

Now, I was thinking about being a smartas-alec, and saying that technically, the left hand can still use the right side of the keyboard, but I'll answer properly.

Stewardesses
Reverberated

Well, if you had been 'smart' then the answer would have been wrong.

Another riddle solved, here's a new one:

What is the only English word, with two synonyms that are antonyms of each other?

In the interests of keeping new riddles......carve

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 3:54 am

HAHA! Excellent, I can say this without guilt or confusion! Wrong answer.

Unlucky.

Keep going...

Hope I haven't scared him off now...

Lol, whoops I wrote the wrong one. I meant to write cleave not carve

....and yes, I was wrong....... there's a first for everything.

That was fun

. You should be wrong more often

Correct this time.

I can run constantly without ever getting tired.
When I run, I frustrate people and drive them crazy,
Yet I don't even have to move to irritate you.
What am I?

HEY! No making fun of my mistakes

Oh oh, here's another line:

The thing that all children have taken from them.... YOUR NOSE

Sorry, have to get my fun from somewhere. I'll try to resist it...

Correct on the riddle.

A bus driver was heading down a street in Colorado. He went right past a stop sign without stopping, he turned left where there was a "no left turn" sign, and he went the wrong way on a one-way street. Then he went on the left side of the road past a cop car. Still - he didn't break any traffic laws. Why not?

How can you expect me to fail these easy riddles

He's walking

Ravager · Post by **Ravager** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 5:14 am

They are easy

but at least there are a lot of them. Anyway you failed once

Correct.

A new medical building containing 100 offices had just been completed. Dave was hired to paint the numbers 1 to 100 on the doors. How many times will Dave have to paint the number nine?

dj_venom · Post by **dj_venom** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 5:38 am

Hehehe.....11

Fiberfar · Post by **Fiberfar** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 5:48 am

My guess is 17

Chimaera182 · Post by **Chimaera182** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 7:02 am

To be a smart-alec: he only has to paint the number "9" once.

Otherwise: 19 times (9, 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69, 79, 89, 90-99).

My third guess, also a bit smart-alecy: 0. He's not going to paint "nine" any times.

Brynn · Post by **Brynn** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 7:18 am

--> 11 <--
