A riddle for you

[Radiohead]

Like I would have known any of those other "gry" words... yeah!

Last one for me for the night:

I can travel from there to here by disappearing,
and here to there by reappearing.
What am I ?

 

[datalink7]

I was going to guess light... but that doesn't quite make sense.

Sound maybe?

 

[Rage187]

a shadow?

 

[thraashman]

gandalf. I have no better answer, so that's mine.

 

[Rage187]

I got it



the letter "T"


from there to here and from here to there..

 

[thraashman]

damn, I think you're right Rage. good observation.

 

[Rage187]

THX

I finally got one

 

[datalink7]

In the United States is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister?

 

[Rage187]

You cant marry when your dead..

 

[datalink7]

<< You cant marry when your dead.. >>



Ahh... nice.

How about a harder one?


Firts think of a person who lives in diequse,
who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next tell me whats always the last thing to mend,
the middle of middle and end of the end.
Last tell me the sound often heard,
when in the search for a hard-to-find word.
String them together and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss??

 

[littlelee]

[PrinceofWands]

[datalink7]

<< i think that one is time >>



Nice try, but nope!

 

[datalink7]

<< spider >>



Damn, did you google search it or figure it out? I love that one.

cant we go back to the easy ones...

 

[PrinceofWands]

Google searching for riddles is lame!!! I'm just very good with word style riddles...not as quick with the lateral thinking style puzzles...speaking of which, maybe I'll start a lateral thinking puzzle thread...hmmmmm

 

[thraashman]

I figured out the spider one too, just not as quickly as others. I had spy really quickly and realized the rest when I made a little er sound thinking.

I'll finally tell one.

This is light as a feather, yet no man can hold it for long.

Nice thinking.

Here is another:

If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

 

[gopunk]

This is light as a feather, yet no man can hold it for long.

a burning feather?

 

[datalink7]

thraashman:

The answer is "air" correct?

 

[datalink7]

BTW... my 7-11 one was just for fun. The answer is: "I have no damn idea!"

Here is a real one:

The man who made it didn't need it.
The man who bought it didn't use it.
The man who used it didn't know it.


What Is IT?????

 

[thraashman]

air or breath would be the answer yes

[thraashman]

coffin

 

[datalink7]

Correct.

An iron horse
With a flaxen tail
The faster the horse runs,
the shorter the tail becomes

 

[thraashman]

I can't say I know the answer, but I'm thinking tail acutally refers to tale as in story and that the story is shorter as the "iron-horse" moves faster. but I'm not sure of the answer still
