Ouch, that was fast.
Okay, it's all yours. And just to double check: I can't answer The Celestial's riddle, correct? Moderator Edit Indeed, you cannot. Sorry. -Tiddles This post has been edited by Tiddles on 17th March 2004 21:16 -------------------- Little miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet, Eating her curds and... WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! |

This one is an old one, and I expect it to be answered pretty quick...
You walk into a room and the door locks behind you. There are two other doors there. A piece of paper hung on the wall informs you that one of them leads to certain death and the other leads to safety. It also says that there are two computers in the room, one programmed to give true facts, and the other to give lies. It doesn't say which computer is which. You may ask one question to a computer. How do you escape? -------------------- My soul is bound to the Mistress of the Afterlife, and my fealty is to her always. So let's just hope she doesn't use it as one of her ten daily meals. |

Ugh, I so wanna answer just so I can post another riddle.
Oops, I forgot the real reason why I posted, which is this: Hey Celestial, I'm sure you've heard the other version of this, except there are guards, one who always tells the truth, and one who always lies. I thought there was only one answer to this riddle, but now I think there may be two. After your computer version gets answered, I wanna double check with you, if that's cool with you.

Aha...I think I got it... ask one of the computers "Which way would the other computer tell me is the right way'?" And then go the opposite way. Because the truth computer will tell you which way is the lying door, and so will the lying computer because he has to lie!

This riddle has already been posted.
It's his mom. Edit: CRAP! You're right! I didn't get it on my first try. Your question is "Why did the doctor see the boy and say, 'That's my son!'" The answer is, because he is her son.

Go ahead and post your riddle, Spoony. I'd rather try to solve riddles instead of giving them.

Time for you to get off whatever pills yer takin' bud. That don't sound like a good thing to see when you wake up. But I'm gonna guess it was 2:52, either that or maybe 5:25. Just a guess...what kinda of clock is this anyways? Digital?

Nope, neither of those answers is right, though Max is close. I'm not gonna clarify, other than to repeat what I already said. In the morning, I looked at a clock, and saw a snake, what time was it? Sorry, but too much more info could ruin it.

I'm guessing 6:00 AM, or any other time where the hands of the clock are straight across (7:06, 8:13, or so on). It was a straight line across, and since you just woke up, you mistook the hands on the clock being straight as a snake. *shrug*

Then it would be 8:13 am. The 8 makes it look like two eyes. If its right, give it to fadien.

Nope neither answer is correct.
I will give two hints: 1) Think back to my previous sig. 2) It was a specific type of snake that was seen. |

You were right, Spoony. As soon as you gave those hints I knew what it was. You really couldn't give away too much on that one. But now I finally got enough brains to make my own riddle and I think it's pretty good, but it's probably easier than it should be. But oh well, have fun with it:
I have a body, a neck, and a head...no arms and no legs. I have six eyes and six ears, and from my eyes leak gold and silver tears. Down my neck these tears they fall, and down my body, over my mouth agape. Through this mouth and through these tears I sing my sweet song. What am I? -------------------- Jeez, another signature...i can't do this anymore, just kill me already! |

OK, this may be easy, but I don't think it's been done before. And it rhymes. Sort of.
