I would request that you please limit your correct answers, to 3 riddles per Member per day.
----------------------------------------If you have and riddles that you would like posting here please go to our Website below for my Email address and Email them to me and I will be happy to post them here and give you credit for them [Please include the answers ] Here are today's Riddles for Mon 18th April 2005 #1 Some will use me, while others will not, some have remembered, while others have forgot. For profit or gain, I'm used expertly, I can't be picked off the ground or tossed into the sea. Only gained from patience and time, can you unravel my rhyme? [Correctly Answered By ] #2 What is it that has four legs, one head and a foot? [Correctly Answered By Dave Bell ] #3 Little Nanny Etticoat, in a white petticoat, and a red nose; the longer she stands, the shorter she grows. What is she? [Correctly Answered By ] #4 Who is he that runs without a leg and his house on his back? [Correctly Answered By nerd01] #5 When I'm used, I'm useless, once offered, soon rejected. In desperation oft expressed, the intended not protected. What am I? [Correctly Answered By ] #6 Part carbon, part water, I am poison to the fishes. Many have falsely claimed my name, for I am the pause that refreshes. What am I? [Correctly Answered By Dave Bell ] #7 Man walks over, man walks under, in times of war he burns asunder. What is it? [Correctly Answered By ] #8 My life is often a volume of grief, your help is needed to turn a new leaf. Stiff is my spine and my body is pale, but I'm always ready to tell a tale. What am I? [Correctly Answered By nerd01] #9 Marking mortal privation, when firmly in place. An enduring summation, inscribed in my face. What am I? [Correctly Answered By Dave Bell ] #10 A hole leading in, a hole leading out, we connect to a cavern that is slimey all throughout. What are we? [Correctly Answered By ] #11 What lives in winter, dies in summer, and grows with it's roots upward? [Correctly Answered By nerd01] #12 Foward I am heavy, but backward I am not. What am I? [Correctly Answered By ] #13 We are all around, yet to us you are half blind. Sunlight makes us invisible, and difficult to find. What are we? [Correctly Answered By ] #14 In birth I spring forth, in life I unfold. In death I wilt and die, but rebirth restores all. What am I? [Correctly Answered By ] #15 What builds up castles, tears down mountains, makes some blind, helps others to see?

----------------------------------------Best not let that happen again ![]() The reason I asked is that my original post was made at Apr 18, 2005 23:25:56 GMT and I had added the other two by 23:34:03 GMT. Not quite the 4:30 AM BST you thought If you were sleeping, I can understand. I cannot understand dreaming about Riddles in the Chat Form, however Setting the alarm for every hour should work in most instances, however I am a bit concerned that I will have to wait for a full 53 minutes if I post at 7 minutes after the hour ![]() As you note, all is correct and ship shape, so I guess I will have to forgive you -- at least this time Your friend and team mate ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Apr 19, 2005 9:09:23 AM] |
