What do you break just to fix?
(Post your joke riddle as well)
-
computers tvs cars runs of shelves morgan wheels cigars pipes music players ect.
-
tape. You tear off a piece to use it to fix something.
-
Noone's gotten this? really?
Wow..
HINT:
Food
-
well, you break an egg to fix up an omlet...or however the hell it's spelt...
-
DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!
CK9, good guess. omelet btw.
NEXT RIDDLE!
What do we create that can't be seen, smelled, heard, or tasted, but can kill us faster than we can realize, and is completely harmless to other forms of life?
-
An idea.
-
... I really need to make these things more difficult...
Good work Hooman.
Allright, Someone else post a joke riddle.
(I have one, but am posting at as last resort, you solved it to quick, I didn't have enough time to get another one in the future)
-
Umm, how about:
Feed it and it lives. Give it a drink and it dies. What is it?
-
Any electrical device: you feed it energy and it works, you feed it a conducting liquid (not pure water) and it short-circuits and dies.
-
Hmm, not quite the answer I was looking for, but I suppose that works too. Alright then.
-
A Gremlin?
-
Fire
-
Fire was the answer I was thinking of. Which, oddly enough, you can get from giving electrical equipment a drink. :P
-
Whats so fragile that when you say its name it breaks?
or
What goes on four legs, two at noon, and 3 legs evening?
-
For the first one: silence.
-
second one is the very old mankind riddle
-
Hooman, correct!
CK9, it's the Sphinx's Riddle, and yes, Mankind is the answer!
What goes without saying, but needs to be said? What has no arms, no legs, no head?
-
a torso with legs
-
*facepalm*
How...
*double facepalm*
(http://nicedeb.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/wh-double-facepalm.jpg)
or better yet...
(http://lolpics.se/pics/482.jpg)
or even better YET...
(http://darren8770.googlepages.com/TacticalFacePalm.jpg)
Completely and utterly the wrong answer...
-
jcj... just no...
-
Hooman, you usually get these riddles... Have not you been on or solved it yet?
Here is a hint: Reading.
-
I was still puzzling over the Sphinx riddle. I had to look that one up to understand the answer.
You asked two questions. Are they part of the same riddle, or two different riddles?
Are you talking about something like a body of literature?
-
Wow... you didn't even know what it was and got it.
Yes, both were the same riddle.
Yes, body of literature (You don't say your reading the Body of a letter, but the body itself needs to be written( or said), the rest is fairly self explanatory)
... Hooman, stop being good. :P no don't. Most of these wouldn't get solved much without you.
Man walks on 4 legs (crawls) in morning (early life), on two at noon (midlife/adulthood) and 3 (two legs and a cane) in afternoon (late life, now classified as your "70's - 80's).
-
okay, here's one off the top of my head ('cause I'm bored)
I see all but one at any time, reading them so carefully, and while I can see the one at times, it's never the same others see.
What is it?
-
Letters?
-
nope, you'll probably groan when you figgure it out.
-
Stars?
Moon?
Sun(s)?
-
nope, and S.W.A.G.'s are very unlikely to get you the answer :P
-
No clue what that is... (S.W.A.G.'s ... or the answer to the riddle, explain your pick)
-
faces
-
and the man with a bag over his gets it :P
btw: SWAG = Scientific Wild-Ass Guess
-
hehe it wasnt that hard to get. tho i did it in a weird way looking at your words and seeing time used then thinking it was a time thing then it clicked clocks have faces.
i dont really know any crappy riddles so some one else can take it.
-
That is indeed an odd way of finding it out, heh
I wanted to say "you'll facepalm when you get it" but I figgured that would make it obvious.
-
What happens when no one is around? What destroys life that others create?
All one riddle.
You'll never guess.
-
Hanky Panky? :P

-
What Happen !??
Yes I think everyone knows this one by now :P
-
Nope.. quotes won't get you this one...
but S.W.A.G.'s might.. MIGHT.
It is a scientific answer.
Think: Crowds.
-
Silence ?
-
Nope.. quotes won't get you this one...
but S.W.A.G.'s might.. MIGHT.
It is a scientific answer.
Think: Crowds.
that was a riddle silly! not an answer to yours. :P
What happen ?!
-
Silly? Say's Lord Of Pain?
LOL.
has anyone guessed an answer to my riddle?
-
'an answer'
now we have :P
-
*facepalm*
Is it safe to say you all have given up on mine?
-
Extinction?
Because if it is..., well then, I should inform you that's not an option. ;)
-
Your wrong, yet right... in a sense :P
Extinction fits... but isn't the answer I'm looking for. Thus, no, it is not an option. Unless you plan to include the masters in your colony. Then you can just let all hell break loose.
-
...let all hell break loose.
You have now summoned the LORDOFPAIN, mortal, you will regret those words at the cost of your soul. :evil laugh:
-----
maybe you need to set a new question when nobody can guess?
-
the answer is nothing
-
Okay, nope (LOP)
and Sorry Freeza, try again.
-
Since this riddle stopped the whole topic from progressing - just tell us the answer ?
-
Acid rain.
Okay, your riddle hooman!
or, CK9...
-
I really dont see acid rain in your riddle at all. perhaps it needed better wording.
-
Yeah, probably.
1: You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
2: I have holes in my top and bottom, my left and right, and in the middle. But I still hold water. What am I?
3: The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?
4: I am mother and father, but never birth or nurse. I'm rarely still, but I never wander. What am I?
-
1) Corn / Maiz (or however one says/spell it)
2)
3) I know these two since I've recently used them myself in a quiz, so I'll leave them up to others
4) U/K
-
2) Sponge.
-
No one has 4 yet but congrats Hooman & Highlander!
-
1: You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
corn as answered...
2: I have holes in my top and bottom, my left and right, and in the middle. But I still hold water. What am I?
sponge..as answered...
3: The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?
Normally this is worded "the man who makes it doesn't want it", but a coffin
4: I am mother and father, but never birth or nurse. I'm rarely still, but I never wander. What am I?
A country. Russia is known to be referenced to as 'The Motherland' as is Brittain and a few others. Germans were known to call Germany the "Fatherland" during WW2 (don't know if they still do). There will always be some form of unrest in a country ("...rarely still...") but it will never suddenly be in a different area than it is ("...never wander...")
Okay, how close am I on that last one?
-
Ohh, so close. All but 4.
1: Corn
2: Sponge
3: Coffine
4: HAH, you thought I'd tell you :P
-
4) Water something.. ? Wild guesses - The Ocean or A River ?
-
No, but something natural is correct
-
seahorse
-
Unique answer, but it births and nurses, so, sorry, wrong answer.
-
sawhorse
-
Nope.
Thinking to hard. You probably see them everywhere, but take no notice of it.
-
The Earth?
-
i see sawhorses every where.
Flabergastrioplexioscape
-
@Freeza-CII What, do you work at Home Depot?
@Hooman, nope. Comes out of the earth though.
another hint: air.
-
elements
-
A tree ?
-
Earth Wind and Fire!
-
AND HIGHLANDER TAKES THE PRIZE!!!!
He got #4. It is in fact a tree. It is both mother and father, but it doesn't give birth or nurse its offspring
-
it didnt have to be a tree just any plant
-
What about worms, or other hermaphrodites?
-
ok, jcj, you've done too many. my turn >:}
seen and not
deadly yet brings life anew
is always around the world yet is often found in your home
the sun is colder
what is it?
-
A fire ?
-
sounds more like love
-
both wrong.
one of those is kinda close though.
sorry bout, spelling. using IE
-
Electricity, in the form of lightning.
-
*awaits the correct answer*
-
srry, i've been out... your right.
-
Considering the last post was in 2011, I think its fine if I post a riddle here?
I have the ability to be sharp as a sword, but can't cut anything, be able to fry, but can't make food, and I can die, but I never live. What am I?
-
Hmm.... This doesn't seem to be easily Google-able. :whistle:
Swordfish... no, that lives.
Fire... no, that's not sharp.
Light? Light can be focused and "sharp". It generally doesn't cut things, but I suppose there are laser torches used to cut things. You can fry food, or at least ants, with sunlight and a magnifying lens. It doesn't really make food, although it is necessary for plant growth which does entail food. Light can "die" at the end of a day, but never really lives.
Ahh, that's the best I've got so far.
-
Anyone else want to have a go at this?
-
Is it coffee powder?
-
I was thinking Words or Wind, but that wasn't entirely right.
My GF guesses it is the Sun.
-
The answer is quite obviously a potato.
-
All somewhat good answers. The correct answer is a mind.
-
A mind does live thou :/
-
... fried brains? :o
-
Yeah that part is a little off.
-
Your mind can by sharp, meaning quick and smart. You could fry it by overworking it. And you can end up brain dead. x_x
-
Ahh, that makes a little more sense now.
