I know,
It's an egg!

You realise that we will soon use up all the Hobbit riddles.

Here's another.

Alive withoute breath, as cold as death
Never thirsty ever drinking, all in mail never clinking.

Bonos-Girl
July 10th,2002, 04:40 PM
look....i'll post one for you....but next time you have to think of one yourself...ok??

A man is dressed in black trousers, black shoes, a black top, and a black balaclava covers his face. He walks down the middle of a road and a black car heads towards him, with no lights on, yet it manages to stop just before it hits him. How?

Bawax

is it daylight at the time of the incident?

so if its right and as i can't think of any riddles straight away i'll go for one from the hobbit. :)

"It cannot be seen, it cannot be felt.
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills.
And empty holls it fills.
It come first and follows after.
Ends life, kills laughter."

Lurtz
July 16th,2002, 01:44 AM

A! Elbereth

HobbitFriend
July 18th,2002, 01:24 AM
hehe i dunno... i'm not really good at these things but i remember some of the answers to the riddles in The Hobbit. I would have been dead if i was in Bilbo's position! lol

Lurtz
July 18th,2002, 04:27 AM
the answer to mine was wind...pfbbt

Lurtz
July 18th,2002, 04:30 AM
HobbitFriend, was ures like cold or snow? ures is hard :( verymad

Bawax
July 18th,2002, 05:11 PM
the answer to hobbitfriends is wind. :grin:

"This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees and flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
and beats high mountain down"

Lurtz
July 18th,2002, 05:30 PM
now i know its time! (or at least i hope so...)

hmmm....ok here's another one from the hobbit...what is in my pocket?lol lol ok jk jk....the answer for that one would be lint and some moths...lol...hmmm....what is taller that a dwarf, but weaker than a dwarf, and has better eyes and ears than a hobbit, but is less inclined to smoke pipe weed than a hobbit>?

HobbitFriend
July 19th,2002, 01:03 AM

HobbitFriend
July 19th,2002, 01:48 PM
woo hoo! i actually got one all by my self! lol but i'm not good at making up any riddles either... lemme think :shhh:

does it have to be related to LotR? cuz this one isn't but i've heard it before:

What has eyes that cannot see,
a tongue but cannot speak,
and a sole but can't go to heaven?

Bawax
July 19th,2002, 04:35 PM
is it running shoes/footwear type thing?

can't think where eyes come into the footwear thing though.

HobbitFriend
July 19th,2002, 11:06 PM
yah it's shoes... the eyes are where u put your shoelaces through... your turn!

Bawax
July 20th,2002, 11:02 AM

up, up it goes
and yet it never grows?

Lurtz
July 20th,2002, 03:43 PM

Bawax
July 20th,2002, 11:48 PM

I've got three:
You walk into an upstairs room and there are two dead bodies on the floor beside a small table. The window is open, NOT broken, and it's very windy but it is NOT raining. There's lots of glass and water (NOT beer or any other drink) on the floor - what happened?

What's always coming but never arrives?

What belongs to you but everyone else uses more than you?

YIPES!!!! Kwijibo!!:elfeek: lol.....you'll blow everyones overworked lil braincells!!!!:naughty: lol lol
Please everyone....one question at a time OK?
Thanks:cool: :thumbs:
so.....i'll answer the last two, and we'll leave the first one standing as your question OK, Kwijibo?
the answers are ....Tomorrow
and ....Your name
and the question is.....

Lurtz
July 29th,2002, 04:00 PM
did the two people who died like hit eachother on the head w/ glass cups that had water in them, thus killing eachother?:(

Kwijibo
July 29th,2002, 04:15 PM
lol Lurtz, that image is really funny! lol
But the answer's wrong, remember the wind and the bodies aren't nessessarily (sp?) HUMAN bodies ...

Nessa
July 29th,2002, 05:12 PM
I actually know one! (Your hint was far too easy)

The wind blew the goldfish bowl off the table and the poor little fishies died! How sad....

Anyway! I absolutely don't know any riddles... I bet you know plenty more Kwijibo, do you mind inserting one from me? :)

Dark Queen
July 29th,2002, 09:01 PM
This game is fun and quite straight forward.
What happens is this. I will post a riddle, and you take it in turns to guess. The first person to guess correctly will be told by me that they're right, and it is then their turn to post a riddle and to say who got it correct, etc.
You get the idea.
So, here is my riddle.

Born at the same time as the world, destined to live as long as the world, and yet never five weeks old. What is it?

Nessa
July 29th,2002, 09:05 PM
I'm not a mod or anything, I'm just not sure if you knew there was a riddle game already. :grin:

Its called 'what am i tolkien about' just a little distance down on this page. :) Your riddles quite good! Erm, a month?

Illuvatar
July 30th,2002, 12:33 AM
Okay!! The mods for this forum and I got together and figured that the best thing to do was to merge these two threads together!!

And since Nessa did not have a riddle that would mean that Dark Queens riddle is on the table!!

Continue and have fun!!

Illu:cool:

Kwijibo
August 7th,2002, 04:02 PM
Nessa - Dead right! Unfortunatly, I know hardly any riddles or jokes so I can't insert one for you, sorry :(
Dark Queen - Is it a month?

Dark Queen
August 15th,2002, 01:09 PM
Sorry Kwijibo and Nessa. A month is a good guess but not the right answer.

Keep guessing!

Illu and the Mods for this forum, thank you for putting up my riddle. :)

Little Devil
August 21st,2002, 03:36 PM
Could it be the Moon?? I'm bout 99% sure it is.

Dark Queen
August 22nd,2002, 01:13 PM
Correct Little Devil. It is the Moon.

Your go.

(Sorry I was a long time replying to this.)

But if I touch you,
You'll surely die.

Illuvatar

Tar-Ancalimė

Little Devil

Little Devil

Tar-Ancalimė
September 15th,2002, 02:07 AM
I don't know it. Argh. I guess I'd have to think a LOT more to get it.
*thinking...*

Lurtz
September 15th,2002, 08:49 PM

Lurtz
September 15th,2002, 08:51 PM

Eowyn

Eowyn

"At night they come without being fetched,
And by day they are lost without being stolen."


Hint: They belong to the night.

Tar-Ancalimė
September 17th,2002, 01:47 AM
stars?

Eowyn
September 17th,2002, 11:42 PM

Tar-Ancalimė

Leaves but no branches,

Lurtz

Tar-Ancalimė
September 18th,2002, 01:12 AM

elf-hater...

Isiltįri
September 18th,2002, 02:55 AM
A head of lettuce?

(Lol......does lettuce have a heart?)

Bonos-Girl
September 18th,2002, 05:46 PM
i think so....the bit in the middle before you pull the leaves off is probably called the heart...

Tar-Ancalimė
September 19th,2002, 12:54 AM
yes it has a heart yes thats the answer your turn isiltari!

Isiltįri
September 20th,2002, 09:39 PM
A thousand apologies! I didn't think I was right and I didn't check back.

I do have hips,
But don't have lips
And as a treat,
I smell quite sweet
I may be pink, or red or white
Or many other colors bright
I also grow, and just like you,
I need sun and water too!

Tar-Ancalimė
September 20th,2002, 10:07 PM
a rose?

Isiltįri
September 20th,2002, 11:14 PM
Absolutely! :thumbs:

Tar-Ancalimė
September 20th,2002, 11:31 PM

humm... OK need a riddle.

A sturdy back,
Legs four,
Once I lived,
But no more.

Lynx
September 20th,2002, 11:32 PM
I'll take a guess but I'm probably completely wrong...

a unicorn?

Tar-Ancalimė
September 20th,2002, 11:37 PM
nope very sorry try again pleez

Lynx
September 20th,2002, 11:41 PM
I got it... a chair!

Tar-Ancalimė
September 20th,2002, 11:42 PM
Oh, well done, Lynx!

*congrats*

you are so right.

Lynx
September 20th,2002, 11:49 PM
cool. Now I don't feel so stupid

Who makes it, has no need of it.
Who buys it, has no use for it.
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it

Little Devil
September 21st,2002, 02:22 AM
That's tough

Isiltįri
September 21st,2002, 09:03 AM
:elfeek: :duh: :elfeek:

Edit: ACK! Little Devil, that sign is NOT pointing at you lol! It's just a reference to the fact that I'm stumped :blush:

Isiltįri
September 21st,2002, 09:10 AM
Time?

Lynx
September 21st,2002, 04:14 PM
nope. think about something that you probably have no choice of being put in that someone buys for you.

Tar-Ancalimė
September 21st,2002, 06:24 PM
ummm OK that hint made NO sense Lynx...

Lynx
September 21st,2002, 06:59 PM
it makes sense to me. but I know the answer. so I'll make quite an obvious hint

you're put in it after you're dead.

Tar-Ancalimė
September 21st,2002, 09:44 PM
ooooooh youre right that was too obvious. a coffin

Lynx
September 21st,2002, 10:10 PM
correct, your turn.

Tar-Ancalimė
September 22nd,2002, 01:43 AM
My heart is hard,
My flesh is fine.
My skin is red,
I'm sweet as wine.

Isiltįri
September 22nd,2002, 06:08 AM
A cherry?

Tar-Ancalimė
September 22nd,2002, 06:17 AM
wow first try... excellent isiltari... your turn

Isiltįri
September 22nd,2002, 06:51 AM
Hurrah!!! :hooray:

That was a good one. :thumbs:

Okay......here goes:

My outside may be soft or hard
For some, I'm easy to discard
Others use me many times
I used to cost about a dime!

Tar-Ancalimė
September 22nd,2002, 05:33 PM
some sort of food p'rhaps?

Lynx
September 22nd,2002, 05:59 PM
a sponge?

Isiltįri
September 22nd,2002, 09:57 PM
Not food, not a sponge......but good guesses!

Eowyn
September 22nd,2002, 10:31 PM
ack... this is hard..........

Isiltįri
September 22nd,2002, 11:38 PM
How about an additional clue?

I also can be thick or thin
And I have quite a lot within!
For meaning, some will use me
Or just for fun, more frequently...........

Eowyn
September 22nd,2002, 11:53 PM
a plastic bag...? I don't know........ :huh:

Isiltįri
September 23rd,2002, 01:56 AM
Okay, I'll make it easier.....

My outside may be soft or hard
For some, I'm easy to discard
Others use me many times
I used to cost about a dime!

I also can be thick or thin
And I have quite a lot within!
For meaning, some will use me
Or just for fun, more frequently...........

Inside of me are many lines
And sometimes I include some rhymes
A story I most often tell
So spend some time and read me well!

Lynx
September 23rd,2002, 02:05 AM
a book?

Lurtz
September 23rd,2002, 02:10 AM
i'm almost positive that's what it is...i don't b-lieve you guys couldn't get that the first time around

Tar-Ancalimė
September 23rd,2002, 03:14 AM
*very sarcastically* oh yes sooooo easy. *sheesh* OMG like how dumb are we...

Isiltįri
September 23rd,2002, 07:36 AM
Lynx, you are correct! :hooray: :thumbs: :hooray:

Lurtz, kindly refrain from making negative comments about other users in the forum. :nono:

Lynx
September 23rd,2002, 01:11 PM
Yes, we're slow. :)

I know a word of letters three.
Add two, and fewer there will be.

Isiltįri
September 23rd,2002, 11:26 PM
Few?

Tar-Ancalimė
September 23rd,2002, 11:50 PM
aww I wanted to get the next one... :(

but s'ok! I'll live. *sigh*

Lynx
September 23rd,2002, 11:57 PM
yep yep, Isiltįri, you're right. That one was easy but it was the only one I could think of at the moment.

Isiltįri
September 24th,2002, 01:47 AM
Yay!

Someone else can go ahead and take a turn, I've done two in the last couple of days. :)

Tar-Ancalimė
September 24th,2002, 01:53 AM
OK OK MY TURN!!!

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

Lynx
September 24th,2002, 02:01 AM
a needle!!!

Tar-Ancalimė
September 24th,2002, 02:04 AM
*humph* first try, right AGAIN!

*mutter mutter grumble*

yes 'tis a needle... *mumble grumble hmmmm*

ALL RIGHT!

*incoherent muttering* argh... these people... no respect for a proper riddle... *grumbling fades into distance...*

(j/k Lynx! ur cool :thumbs: )

Isiltįri
September 24th,2002, 02:13 AM
Lol.......that was a cute one, Tar-Ancalimė! :thumbs:

Lynx
September 24th,2002, 03:10 AM
haha. thanks Tar-Ancalimė!! you're cool too.

Well if anyone that hasn't put up a riddle in the last day would like to take a go at it. I'm with Isiltįri we've both done like two in the last day so some one else give it a go. I just like guessing, not the best a thinking up one.

So, Lurtz? Eowyn? Anyone else?

Lady of Rohan
September 24th,2002, 10:43 PM
I will post one if that is OK.

Eowyn
September 24th,2002, 10:48 PM
go ahead if you have one! I'll try to think of some for another time!

Lady of Rohan
September 24th,2002, 11:07 PM
Very well I shall be delighted to do so.

My first is in blood and also in battle,
My second in acorn, oak and apple,
My third and fourth are both the same,
In the center of sorrow and twice in refrain,
My fifth starts enternity ending here,
My first is the first of the last, so there!

It'll probably be pretty easy...

Lynx
September 24th,2002, 11:38 PM
of course it is. :) Go ahead Lady of Rohan ;)

Eowyn
September 26th,2002, 01:12 AM
barrel? but it is midnight so I could be wrong! :elfeek: anyway I'm going to sleep now! :snooze:

Tar-Ancalimė
September 26th,2002, 03:45 AM
I think it is a barrel too.

So if she doesn't show up soon you could just go Eowyn. I'm pretty sure its right. either that or larrel which makes no sense...

Lady of Rohan
September 26th,2002, 04:18 AM
yes it is barrel. Eowyn it is your turn!

(larrel??? How did you get that???)

Eowyn
September 26th,2002, 08:14 PM
first think of a person who lives in disguise,
who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
next tell me whats always the last thing to mend,
the middle of the middle and the end of the end?
and finally give me the sound often heard
during the search for a hard-to-find word.
now string them together, and answr me this,
which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?'

this is really easy especially for HP fans! :blush:

Tar-Ancalimė
September 27th,2002, 04:36 AM
hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO was gonna do that one next!!!!!!!!!!!!! no fair.............................

fine................. 'sa spider......................

even though that was going to be my next one............................................... ..................

Tar-Ancalimė
September 27th,2002, 11:06 PM
ummmm I cant think of a good riddle right now. if anyone else wants to go they can... I shall (hopefully) have one by tomorrow.

Isiltįri
September 28th,2002, 12:01 AM
Hit me hard, and that's just fine
I will not bleed, or cry, or whine
I'm only here to help you out
I'm very tough, have no doubt.
I'm also sharp with quite a tip
Just watch your little fingertips!

Ranger
September 28th,2002, 12:19 AM
Dagger or Sword.

Isiltįri
September 28th,2002, 01:08 AM
No, but good guess. :)

Ranger
September 28th,2002, 03:12 PM
Shield?

Isiltįri
September 28th,2002, 11:56 PM
nope.........think of something that is small......

Lynx
September 29th,2002, 02:18 AM
a nail?

Isiltįri
September 29th,2002, 03:48 AM
Hurrah! Congrats to Lynx......your turn. :thumbs:

Lynx
September 29th,2002, 04:08 AM
haha. thanks.

If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me

Lynx
September 29th,2002, 07:03 AM
correct. You got it Tar-Ancalimė! :) your turn.

Tar-Ancalimė
September 29th,2002, 07:04 AM
oh wow
that was the last thing I was expecting
wow Im a ton smarter than i thought
wowwowwowwowwow

K this is my riddle:

Inside your veins and blood I lie,
Without me you would surely die.
I am not earth nor am I stone,
No shape at all to call my own,
Not bird or beast or flower or tree,
Yet captives live within me free!

Lynx
September 29th,2002, 07:22 AM
air? oxygen?

Tar-Ancalimė
September 29th,2002, 07:23 AM
nope :)

Tar-Ancalimė
September 29th,2002, 06:13 PM
no and no.

-confession-

OK I think it lies in blood... tho I am not 100% positive... I will go look that up and get back to you.... anyway ignore that line for now pleez

-sorry-

Lynx
September 29th,2002, 06:15 PM
water?

Tar-Ancalimė
September 29th,2002, 06:21 PM
yup! go you Lynx.

OK is it in blood???? Someone tell me pleez cuz otherwise l'll spend my whole life feeling stupid over that.

Eowyn
September 29th,2002, 06:49 PM
yes it is! blood is made up of lots of different things (plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells etc...) but it is carried in the blood. if that makes sense.

Lynx
September 29th,2002, 07:21 PM
cool. well i would assume water is blood cus i've always been told that 75% of your body is water.

My life can be measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.

Eowyn

yes!

Lynx
October 1st,2002, 12:42 AM
haha. this is gonna be an easy hint. And I'm gonna be very surprised if you don't get after this. haha. it'll be sad too.

If you let me I will burn to the quick,
But first you must light the wick.

Eowyn
October 1st,2002, 12:48 AM
candle!

Lynx
October 1st,2002, 12:57 AM
yep. congrats Eowyn! your turn

Eowyn
October 1st,2002, 01:02 AM
what goes through the door without pinching itself?
What sits on the stove without burning itself?
What sits on the table and is not ashamed?

hopefully this one will make you think!

Tar-Ancalimė
October 1st,2002, 01:07 AM
lots of things? :huh:

Eowyn
October 1st,2002, 01:10 AM

Tar-Ancalimė
October 1st,2002, 01:12 AM

salt?

Eowyn
October 1st,2002, 01:15 AM

Tar-Ancalimė
October 1st,2002, 01:18 AM

Eowyn
October 1st,2002, 01:23 AM

Bonos-Girl
October 1st,2002, 08:40 PM

Isiltįri

Eowyn
October 1st,2002, 11:07 PM
It is the source of life,
Not plant nor animal,
It’s end will bring our end.

hope this helps! :)

Tar-Ancalimė
October 1st,2002, 11:13 PM
air? oxygen?

Eowyn
October 1st,2002, 11:47 PM

Ranger

Bonos-Girl

Tar-Ancalimė
October 3rd,2002, 02:10 AM
geez...
that's the second time I've guessed something I really didn't think was right and got it!!

OK... well here is mine:

White flesh on top,
Brown gills below,
I move not a lot,
In the darkness I grow.

Isiltįri
October 3rd,2002, 07:29 AM
A mushroom?

Tar-Ancalimė
October 4th,2002, 12:54 AM
congrats... you are correct.

Isiltįri
October 7th,2002, 11:28 PM

Little Devil
October 9th,2002, 12:43 AM
Uh...I would but I haven't got any riddles, has anyone else?

Lynx
October 9th,2002, 01:01 AM
I've got one. ;)

Glittering points
That downward thrust,
Sparkling spears
That never rust.

Tar-Ancalimė
October 9th,2002, 01:07 AM
icicle

Lynx
October 9th,2002, 01:15 AM
yep, Tar-Ancalimė. your turn.

Tar-Ancalimė
October 9th,2002, 01:40 AM
darn... why did I anwer... sigh, now I have to think of one... stupid, stupid, Tar.

*she thinks*

ummmmmmmmm... OK I can't come up with one of my own, here is one from a book I was reading, sorry, guys, inspiration is shot today:

I can run but never walk,
I've a mouth but cannot talk,
I have a head but do not weep,
And I've a bed but never sleep.

Little Devil
October 11th,2002, 12:50 AM
Give us a clue please!!

Tar-Ancalimė
October 11th,2002, 07:07 AM
*sighs*

I really didn't think it would be hard guys!

Little Devil, I'll wait until at least one other person has posted here! Come on, where are all you regulars??

Bonos-Girl
October 13th,2002, 12:36 PM
the only thing i can come up with is a plant but it doesn't have a mouth.......unless its a venus fly trap or something??!!

Lynx
October 13th,2002, 05:31 PM
I don't know, but here is my guess.

the sea? the ocean? just water in general?

Tar-Ancalimė
October 13th,2002, 05:49 PM
nooooooo

not exactly... Lynx I was looking for something a bit more specific....

but if no one guesses it by, say, tomorrow, I'll give it to you. does that work?

Lynx
October 13th,2002, 06:03 PM
so I'm close. haha.

a river?

Tar-Ancalimė
October 13th,2002, 06:04 PM
GOOD JOB LYNX :hooray::hooray::hooray:

ok sorry guys, that wasn't even my riddle... just something I got from someone else :huh:

anyway go Lynx :thumbs:

Little Devil
October 13th,2002, 06:11 PM
Go Lynx

Lynx
October 13th,2002, 06:14 PM
haha. thanks..

hmmm.. can't think one up on my own at the moment so..

With thieves I consort,
With the vilest, in short,
I'm quite at ease in depravity;
Yet all divines use me,
And savants can't lose me,
For I am the center of gravity.

Ranger
October 13th,2002, 08:29 PM
Okay you picked that because it rhymed real good, didn't you!
I have no clue!

Lynx
October 13th,2002, 11:29 PM
haha. no actually I picked because if you think into it too much its hard (like I would do, took me a while to figure out myself) but if you don't think into it too much then its not that hard.

:)

Little Devil
October 14th,2002, 11:16 PM
The sun?

Lynx
October 15th,2002, 08:45 AM

Isiltįri

Lynx
October 15th,2002, 01:29 PM
Think of what the words have in common.

Ranger
October 15th,2002, 02:24 PM
The brain!

Bonos-Girl
October 15th,2002, 05:42 PM
i think you're right....i always get here just after the answer i think has been said....aaarrrggghhh!!! how annoying is that?!!?!

Ranger
October 15th,2002, 06:23 PM
Lol, That usually happens to me!

Lynx
October 15th,2002, 10:58 PM
nope, though a good try, Ranger. ;) And Bonos-Girl, you didn't come after the answer's been said. :) ;)

look at the last line, it gives the biggest hint.

"For I am the center of gravity."

don't think too much into it.

Tar-Ancalimė
October 15th,2002, 11:43 PM

Lynx
October 15th,2002, 11:48 PM

here goes guys (erm i stole this one as well... if you know it don't get mad at me :blush: )

I'm bright as the sun,
A false fairest one;
I'm thought beyond price
But I'm cold as the ice.

Little Devil
October 16th,2002, 12:37 AM
The moon?

Tar-Ancalimė

CONGRATULATIONS Ranger u got it... sorry guys i did NOT mean that to be so difficult... heh... won't happen again (I hope ;))

Ranger
October 18th,2002, 06:23 PM
Finally I got one right!

I can be long, short and even cross.
Metal, wood or plastic.
Maleable and strong at the same time
Used with one hand or two.
I am useless on my own.

Okay that doesn't rhyme but it doesn't have to, right?

Tar-Ancalimė
October 18th,2002, 06:32 PM
right!

and i need to think about this a little longer... i just posted 'cause, well, 'cause you asked a question which i could answer! lol

Eowyn
October 18th,2002, 11:45 PM
why am I thinking bow? i think its because of 'cross' bow. :huh:

Ranger
October 19th,2002, 12:03 AM
You got it Eowyn! bow is the answer*

Little Devil

Eowyn
October 19th,2002, 07:54 PM

Eowyn
October 19th,2002, 07:59 PM
ok really easy

I am greater than God, and more evil than the devil. Poor people have me. Rich people want me. And if you eat me, you'll die. What am I?

I got this! It's used so often though.

Eowyn
October 19th,2002, 07:59 PM
good luck :grin:

Tar-Ancalimė
October 19th,2002, 09:19 PM

Eowyn
October 20th,2002, 02:14 AM

Tar-Ancalimė
October 26th,2002, 04:10 AM

OK here is one:

Take away the whole of it, but some will still remain. ;)

Isiltįri
October 26th,2002, 06:03 AM
lol Riddle Goddess? *hugs*

Ahem....let's see..

Some say I seem to have a face
But truly, that is not the case
Sometimes you'll see just part of me
But that's the way it has to be.

Lynx
October 26th,2002, 06:09 AM
moon?

Tar-Ancalimė
October 26th,2002, 06:11 AM
*returns the hug*

c'mon, you are the riddle goddess... and I have no idea what your riddle is... a clock has a face... so does a person... but somehow i dont thing that's the answer ;)

oh yeah well i didnt see lynxs answer before i posted this... a moon has a face too!!!! roflmao j/k

Isiltįri
October 26th,2002, 06:13 AM
lol Tar! You're so cute!

Lynx! You got it. Your turn. :hooray:

Lynx
October 26th,2002, 06:35 AM
haha. hmm..

I give you a group of three.
One is sitting down, and will never get up.
The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry.
The third goes away and never returns.

Little Devil
October 26th,2002, 05:57 PM
Is it a object or abstract thing? :huh:

Lynx
October 27th,2002, 06:40 PM
one is an object for sure but the other two aren't quite objects but I wouldn't call them abstract things.

Little Devil
October 28th,2002, 02:07 PM
Can I have some more clues? This is a wild guess, fish?? :huh:

Lynx
October 29th,2002, 12:11 AM
no, not a fish.

more clues... hmmm...

the first one (One is sitting down, and will never get up.), think of something that feeds off the second (The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry.) and gives off the third (The third goes away and never returns.)

I don't know if that helps. I'm not good at giving clues.

Little Devil
October 30th,2002, 12:47 AM
This is v v hard, or maybe I'm just silly. :(
