This thread will be used to post riddles. The riddle will be written in white and the answer in black. I'll start off.

What has 7 letters,
Is greater than god,
Is more evil than the devil,
Rich people need it,
Poor people have it,
And if you eat it, you will die.

Nothing

well... I could say nothing, but who's to say I didn't just highlight the text.

My advice, with a riddle thread, don't post the answer

Not so, we've had a couple riddle threads in the past which have functioned just fine without the riddle being posted. By posting it as well as the riddle, it effectively removes the point of it being a riddle, which is, to be solved. If the answer is given to you, it is not much trouble to solve, now is it.

Well, if they don't want the challenge, then that's their problem. If they want to just make their brain sit there and not think, let them become non-brain stormed. Doesn't affect me, and please guys, please don't spam up my threadm, if you must make a suggestion or something, please just send me a PM, or post it in this thread, but have a riddle as apart of your post like i am doing. I put the answer in black, so when the person has an answer he can check it.

What has 8 wheels and flies?

A Garbage Truck

UMBRELLA!

and in the middle of nowhere is a "H"

what? yeh u can call me the king

Im just gonna post a lotta ones they wont have the answer, if u stuck tell me and ill post da answers in my next post

A head but no body, a heart but no blood, leaves but no branches. What am I?

A sturdy back, legs four. Once I lived, but no more

I die without air, yet I have no lungs

I have an eye but I am blind. I’m cold and hard and never kind. Despite all this you should still see. There is always a point to me

I live in the oceans, rivers, and sea. When I’m cold, I float. When I’m hot, I’m free

I touch the earth. I touch the sky. But if I touch you, you’ll surely die.

In summer I wear green, all day and all night. In fall I wear yellow. In winter I wear white.

Have fun!!

I'll take a shot at those.

1) Is that Romaine Lettuce?

2) Are a chair?

3) Are you fire?

4) Sounds familiar, but no clue.

5) Are you ice?

6) Are you the sun?

7) Are you a tree?

Magrus · Post by **Magrus** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 11:47 pm

I concur with Galuf, on everything. 4 is hard, the eye thing leads to assumptions, but the rest of it just ruins those and maybe once I sober up I can guess that one. Good riddle!
