[nujumkh]

who doesn't love a good riddle? someone who doesn't love good entertainment? Well here im going to post some riddles me and my freinds find, like, or make-up (but hey we try biggrin ).

now if you do post a riddle i prefer you put lots of spaces so people can have time to think and guess. so it'd be something like-

This would be the riddle.



maybe a hint to the riddle



the answer!!!

enjoy!

heres one i made up-

What has 7 letters, is above the sky but under the ground, and can break a law untried.



hint; it's not god, like my freind said, and it's not prayyer (with 2 y's) or methane.



it's Nothing biggrin . One of my freinds got it right off, but another took almost all of the break. i told her in the end...

Here an easy one, although it's kind of relevant. One person i told already knew it too... well you dont have to bee picky about the wording too.

Two fathers and two sons went fishing. On the fishing trip they caught three fish. everyone ate one fish, how is this possible?



2 fathers and 2 sons...



one of them is a grandfather smile . the grand father if the father of the father, the father is the father of the son; 2 fathers. The father is the son of the grand father and the son is the son of the father; 2 sons. thus 3 people total, but 2 fathers and 2 sons!

This one i stole from Greek Mythology, jsut so nobody sue's me (like the ancient greeks ... that'd be wierd.) Also i probably paraphrased it a lot.

An animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs during the day, and three legs at night. The animal is?



remember riddles usually need you to think much larger or smaller than you usually would. in this case its bigger.



A human, four legs as a baby, two legs through his life, and 3 as an old man with a cane.

This one was hard for me but easy for my freind. i barely got a second to think about it before he yelled the answer so i wasn't sure if i could or couldn't get this one...

Okay imagine a completely cubic house. every wall of this house is exactly the same. Now on every wall of the house there is one window, exactly the same amongst each wall. all the windows are facing south. Where is the house.




no hiiiiiint....




So how many of you said the North pole? you were right if you did, because if you were at the north pole you could never go more north, every window is basically facing south, even though they arent exactly downward.

this one's so hard...

Okay, you are a bus driver. on the first stop you pick up 3 people. Go down 2 streets and turn right. on the second stop you pick up 4 people. U-turn, drive on the highway for a while and get offat an near an intersection. on the third stop you pick up five people and drop of 2. Nows the question, ready?
What is the color of the drivers hair?



i know your confused but read it again. since you'll probably say it to your freinds just ask them to think back to the beginning/ what you first said.



The actual answer varies because YOU are the bus driver smile i hope you guys got it.

When he went back to get them one of his gaurds told him not to go on the plane because he had a dream it would crash. The buisnessman took his advice and sure enough the plane crashed. The buisnessman gave him $100 as areward for saving him and then fired him, why?



the hint is; where did the gaurd see the plane crash? a little vaugue but there wasn't a hint when i heard it.

A man was running home. On the way he sees another man with a ball and got scared. Why was he scared?



Think of 'home' and 'ball'. What kind of home is it? What kind of ball is it? The world of riddles explores many different fields of thought.



If you thought somewhere in there 'baseball', then you get it smile . Running home means to home base, and the man with the ball was there to tag the first man out
