Guest Vitamin X Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 K got it. Also, Packer fans are, ironically, not allowed behind the door. Sorry! Oh, but Officer Goeman and snuffbox are. And Spoon's allowed behind the door. Which leaves me firmly outside. In the cold.
The Amazing Rando Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 What has four legs in the morning, two legs at midday and three legs in the evening? A person. In the morning, they are a baby, crawling on "four legs", in midday, the middle of life, they walk upright, and in the evening, the end of life, they walk with cane, or with three legs. ...and DocOck is correct, it's his son.
Special K Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 Yes, it's the son. That 'legs' one is the world's oldest riddle. (riddle of the Sphinx) It sort of sucks. An island is inhabited strictly by knights and knaves. Knights always tell the truth, knaves always lie. You meet two inhabitants: Marge and Zoey. Marge says, `Zoey and I are both knights or both knaves.' Zoey claims, `Marge and I are the same.' Can you determine who is a knight and who is a knave?
Hoff Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Posted January 21, 2006 K got it. Also, Packer fans are, ironically, not allowed behind the door. Sorry! Oh, but Officer Goeman and snuffbox are. And Spoon's allowed behind the door. Which leaves me firmly outside. In the cold. So, where did you find that pic of the Viking fan and the Packer fan together, because I looked for one, and came up empty. But here, Mama McNabb sent you this. Said it'd warm you up and fill you up right.
Hoff Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Posted January 21, 2006 Assuming that's sarcasm, nobody forced you to play, or comment. Aren't you the guy thats always showing up in threads simply to whine about 'you'RE'? Ohh, so you're trying to act like me, then. Well, that I can understand. I am pretty cool. Once your brain hemmorhage flares down, try to comprehend the point behind that post: that just because one person does something doesn't mean it's the right thing to do, and nor does it mean I can't call you on stupid shit.
Hoff Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Posted January 21, 2006 What has four legs in the morning, two legs at midday and three legs in the evening? Man. In the morning of his life, before he has learned to walk, he uses four legs. Once he has grown, he walks on two legs, upright. In the evening of his years, he must rely on a cane, and thus has three legs. Sphinx'd Here's one: you throw away the outside, and you cook the inside. Then you eat the outside, and throw away the inside. WHAT IS IT?

Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 How can you get a fully grown apple inside of a bottle. The bottle has to be a normal glass bottle which has no breaks, the entrance of which is clearly too small for the apple to pass through. The apple must end up in perfect condition. How?

Art Sandusky Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 Dont fret X...Im boycotting the otherside of the door. Me too. Once the crowd outside the door is large enough, we're gonna grab some torches and go October Revolution on the door, as well as whatever's behind it.
Special K Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 I want to know this one. DO you put the bottle over an apple blossom and let it grow inside?
Hoff Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Posted January 22, 2006 As I was walking to St. Ives, I crossed a man with seven wives. And all his wives had seven hats, and also with them seven cats. And all the wives had seven kids, with seven hats upon their lids. Kids, cats, hats, wives; how many were going to St. Ives?
Hoff Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Posted January 22, 2006 Indeed. Okay, here's one. A man is found dead in a room with fifty-two bicycles. How did he die? You can ask any yes or no question. If you know the answer, please don't spoil it.
Spaceman Spiff Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 That riddle has been around for a while, so I'm guessing most people already know the answer.
Hoff Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Posted January 22, 2006 Really? I've stumped everyone I've told it to.
The Amazing Rando Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 Shouldn't it be 53 bicycles? I guess it doesn't matter either way though, as you can fit the answer to make it 52.
Hoff Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Posted January 22, 2006 ....... A man is found dead in a room with fifty-three bicycles. How did he die? (thanks, Rando)
Special K Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 There's a bunch of those. A man is found dead over a puddle of water, how did he die? clutching a stone? with a backpack on? I don't like the bicycles one. The correct number IS important, tho.
Hoff Posted January 22, 2006 Author Report Posted January 22, 2006 Yeah, no, I felt like a tool afterwards. Well....more than usual.
Special K Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 They don't work so well on a message board, though. The solutions are so obscure (the stone one is ridiculous) that a rapid-fire series of questions is necessary. The bicycle one is the only one I couldn't get. We did these for hours on the way to a rowing meet once.
Sideburnious Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 Is the room big enough to fit 53 bicycles and a man or has he been crushed by the bikes?
