ok, I have another one.

Why is a raven like a writing desk? no, wait, that won't do.... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Round as a saucer and deep as a cup.
All the King's horses couldn't pull it up.

Gah! Stupid Starbreeze *hits head on wall repeatedly* Oh well, here is another riddle:

I'm a dwarf among plants.
I am a mountain to ants,
I'm not green like leaves
I'm a target for theives

What am I?

This is kinda ME related, but only just.

This is silly, but..is it a garden gnome?

Starbreeze... is the answer Mushrooms?

Yep. Susan strikes again, it is a garden gnome *sighs* I hope I can find at least one to fool you Susan! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

A hole in the ground ?

I was right?? wow...I read Tigerlily's answer and was sure I was wrong.

Very close, KC. It's a certain type of hole.

Is it a crater (I think I spelled that right)?

Nope, not a crater

The hole on the golf green ?

Getting warmer...

Yearrgghh ..what a tease !

Hole in Croquet ?
A bird bath in the groung?
A hobbit Hole?
A Rabbit/rodent burrow?

I give up. *bangs head on floor

Don't give up! Here, I'll offer this hint as a bribe so you'll keep guessing [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

In older versions of this thing, a bucket was involved. Now, no buckets are necessary.

A well?

Got it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]


Ok, someone else's turn now.

Here's a new one:

"The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place."

As I have heard this one before, I shall bow out in favor of the other riddlers [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Round as a saucer, deep as a cup...how's that a well...the deception..the deception...

Hit me with a hammer
hit me with a stake...

No that isn't a riddle, just my frustration.

"The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place."
is -

Sleep !
Death !
Birth !

Am I dumb or what?

Tigerlily, is it the letter 'e' ?

Hey Tigerlily! You stole my riddle! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] My friend told me that and I was just going to post it today! Do we have the same friend? No really, I'm not mad at you. Its just a shame thats all. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I'm not at all mad at you, more suprised than anything really.
Susan - did I get it right?

Yey! 800 posts! Go me! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The answer is indeed the letter "E"!
Sorry, Starbreeze. I didn't know [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I didn't mean to steal your riddle, honest!

Yes you did, Starbreeze [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I've also heard that "E" riddle answered with The Sea

In spring I am gay, in handsome array;
In summer more clothing I wear.
When colder it grows, I fling off my clothes,
And in winter quite naked appear.

Nobody thinks that, KC, and neither should you. Just try to have fun; maybe ask us a riddle.

susan -- what is your answer to this one??

Piosennial-This one doesn't have an answer. I just put it out there as a joke [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
It came from Alice in Wonderland and The Last Unicorn

Susan --
i, too, had read this many, many years ago in the lewis carrol book and have asked many people what they thought the answer was.

here's my answer:
why is a raven like a writing desk?

because they both have inky feathers

Susan, is the answer to your latest riddle a tree?

That's right, Tigerlily. Your turn, I think [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well, piosennial, I guess I never really gave it an answer; I just accepted that there wasn't one. I do like yours, though. What other answers have you heard?

susan - i've never heard any other answers. it's always been the ETERNAL riddle for me. that's why when you posed it earlier, my heart stopped and i thought 'finally, someone has found the answer!!!!' [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[ April 26, 2002: Message edited by: piosenniel ]

Have you considered that perhaps you have found the answer? I think "inky feathers" is a very good answer.

[ April 27, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

Yay! I got one!
OK, here's another I found...

"There was a green house.
Inside the green house there was a white house
Inside the white house there was a red house.
Inside the red house there were lots of babies."

I've heard this one somewhere before, and I think I remember the answer, so I'll abstain. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

tigerlilly - is this a watermelon?

Yup, a watermelon!
I guess I find the easy ones! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

have we done this one:

what goes up the chimney down
but not down the chimney up?

huh? That's confusing...
Is it Santi Claus [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Is it ash?
I need to make my brain work better [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

it's a common old riddle!
no, it's not santa or ash [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
try again!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I wasn't actually serious about Santa Claus [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I'll keep thinking!

here's a major hint:

i bring shade on a sunny day
& keep you dry when rain comes your way [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

an umbrella?
