Didacus Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Here's a fun little snippet, though its not a riddle for say: Late one day, in the middle of the night, Two dead boys came up to fight, Back to back they faced each other, With their swords they shot each other The deaf policeman heard the noise, Came out can killed the two dead boys. If you don't believe this story is true, just ask the blind man, he saw it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didacus Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 How about this one: (though I didn't write it) [quote]I am, I am not. I visit young and old. Some I make timid, some I make bold.

Marie-Therese Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 age or time would've been my second guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didacus Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 All good guesses. I did say I didn't write it, and truth be told, its not my favorite. I think several replies to the riddle may have fit better than the actual reply itself. So I'll write the anwser here: [color="#FFFFFF"]dreams[/color] Just scroll over to read it when ready. This riddle was actually part of a quest game on my familie's old Apple IIe computer; Crimson Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Therese Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yeah that is a terrible answer. It only barely makes sense. Our answers are much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
