i luv riddles so i thought that i would make a journal entry out of the some that i know (not counting the ones that almost everyone knows)
you hear me once then you hear me again, then i die 'til you call me again echo
what can run but never walk, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps. a river
lovely and round i shine with a pale light grown in the darkness a lady's delight a pearl
whoever makes it, tells it not whoever takes it, knows it not and whoever knows it, want's it not poison
i heard of an invading, vanquishing army sweeping across the land, liquid-quick; conquering everything, quelling resistance. with it came darkness, dimming the light. humans hid in their houses, while outside spears pierced, shattering stone walls. uncountable soldiers smashed into the ground, but each elicited life as he died; when the army had vanished, advancing northward, the land was green and growing, refreshed. a rainstorm
in a tunnel of darkness lies a beast of iron. it can only attack when pulled back. a bullet
i fly, yet i have no wings i cry, yet i have no eyes darkness follows me lower light i never see a cloud
When the snow melts, what does it become? Spring!
Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return to the people. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totaling $27. The bellboy has $2, totaling $29. Where is the missing $1? We have to be careful what we are adding together. Originally, they paid $30, they each received back $1, and thus they now have only paid $27. Of this $27, $25 went to the manager for the room and $2 went to the bellboy.
Harry went out to dinner with his friends Larry, Barry, and Gary. Harry sat across from Gary. At Gary's right, opposite Barry, sat Larry. When the waiter came for their orders, Larry and Barry ordered steak. Gary chose fish, and Harry (who likes to be difficult) ordered like this: "Unless the man at the left of the man opposite the man who ordered fish is not having what the man across from the man at the right of the man at my left is having, then I'll have what the man across from the man at the right of the man opposite me ordered. Otherwise, bring me the fettucine alfredo." Assuming "right" and "left" is from the viewpoint of the diners, what did Harry order? What he essentially said to the waiter was: "If Larry ordered the same thing as Gary, I'll have steak." Since Larry ordered steak and Gary ordered fish, Harry does not get steak.
I can be found where anything cannot; dead men eat me all the time, but if a living man eats me, he'll die. I am nothing.
Look at me. I can bring a smile to your face, a tear to your eye, or a thought to your mind. But, I can't be seen. Your memories
At dusk I come without being fetched. At dawn I disappear without being stolen. I'm a poet's tears and a sailor's guide. Stars
When you stop and look, you can always see me. If you try to touch you cannot feel me. I cannot move, but as you near me, I will move away from you. The horizon
there's more 2 come... soon
