what walks on for legs in the morning, two legs at mid-day and three legs at night?

how far is up? well.. I suppose that has to do something with the gravity field on the planet on which one lives.. after a certain point there ceases to be an up.. there is only a perceptive version of 'up' failing that! the opposite of down! BOO-YA! a definition of what something is by which it is not! WOO!! (no wonder they hate me at work)

It was stars! yay to those who got it right...
and until the next time...continue with your witty banter and perplexing questions :)

I *love* that riddle!

“I am pronounced as one letter, but written with three.

Three letters there are, and only two of me.

I’m double, I’m single, I’m found in blue and gray.

Read from both ends, the same either way”

Whatever can I be?

you misspelled grey

eye

Are you an eye?

is that all you're worried about? I misspell shit everyday...and i've seen gray spelled gray a billion times...

I think all he meant was that "e" is found in the word blue and the word "grey" for the riddle purpose.

It can be spelled either way, by the way:

Main Entry: gray
Variant(s): also grey /'grA/
Function: adjective (From Merriam-Webster online)

(Is there a full moon in the Cellar?)

oh...well that's because i'm a dumbass...i'm not worried about it tho...they're still figuring it out..

:confused:

confused bout what?

Just trying to figure out if you're angry or something.

Shawnee123 is correct. I understood the riddle and offered my post as evidence of that while preserving the mystery of the riddle for the other readers. I intended no offense KV, and I apologize for having done so anyway.

no worries BigV, I wasn't offended...I was just saying...out of all that you're pointing out my grammar...gosh...
i know you can't tell from text...but I rarely get offended...you have to try really hard to offend me...
So no worries ok?
And my admitting that I was a dumbass doesn't make me angry...I am a dumbass, literally, on a daily basis, and have no problem admitting to my faults :)
so...everyone is good now right?
