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 :)

edit to rephrase what I mean...i need to stop working and trying to be smart all at the same time. I meant that the horse's name is sunday. right?

lined with skin as soft as silk
within a palace crystal clear
a golden apple doth appear.
no walls there are to this stronghold
yet thieves break in to steal the gold.
footfootfoot--first one is a cherry (well done, Mr. Nutkin!)
Second is an egg.
Fine riddles. Now, what is the answer to wolf's?

A man fell out of a plane and crashed through the cabin roof, lending on the other two, killing all three.
A meteor crashed through the roof and killed all three.
The weight of the snow collapsed the roof, killing all three.
The kerosene heater they were using to keep warm exploded, killing the three men and putting a hole in the roof.
One of the men used the unfortunate combination of "bomb" and "Al-Qaeda" in the same phone conversation. The NSA sent in some black ops guys, who attacked from above, killing all three men. :worried:
Their airplane crashed in the mountains following a catastrophic decompression of the aircraft cabin?
Correct.

“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?

eye
you misspelled grey
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:
[COLOR="Red"]Main Entry: gray
Variant(s): also grey /'grA/
Function: adjective[/COLOR] (From Merriam-Webster online)

oh...well that's because i'm a dumbass...i'm not worried about it tho...they're still figuring it out..
oh...well that's because i'm a dumbass...i'm not worried about it tho...they're still figuring it out..
:confused:
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?
s'good
turn up the volume, it's a little low
lol good choice BigV, good movie!
Sorry for the confusion...
I meant no offense either, was just giving my take on what I thought VigB (that was a typo but it looks funny so I left it) meant!
:)
hey, i'm good here if you're good there...like I said, I wasn't offended. Part of the problem with most of my responses to anything, in text or vocally is that I expect people to connect my words with my thoughts, (like that's possible) and I hardly ever do anything in complete sentences...
Partly because I'm an airhead, and partly because i'm at work trying to play around and help customers at the same time...maybe I have ADD too. No, that would just be too easy.
Oh, and the answer was eye btw...
No, I'm a frayed knot.
What's brown and sticky?
A stick!
When is a little boy not a little boy?
when he turns into a store.
when he becomes a code name for an atomic bomb?
Two sisters are we, one dark and one fair.
In twin towers dwelling, we're quite the pair.
One from land, and one from sea.
Tell us truly, who are we?
When is a little boy not a little boy?
When he's a little hoarse. (horse)

Some are held for charity,
and some for fancy dress.
But when they're held for pleasure
they're the ones that I like best...

BALLS!
I guess I'll go:
Imagine you're in a room, with no walls or windows. How do you get out?
Aren't you out already if there are no walls?
LOL...I meant no doors and no windows...:D
"I come to free him within his cell..." JC
It's really "womb" and you just wait to be born.
Actually, Jimi claimed to have had a "Belly Button Window" . . .
No answer yet...how long before we give up and I tell you?
Imagine you're in a room, with no doors or windows. How do you get out?
Ah, fuck it...the answer is STOP IMAGINING.
:lol: patience, grasshopper. Not even an hour before you gave up.
I have an oldie:
One falls without breaking, one breaks without falling.
Hunter leaves camp in the morning. Travels south for five miles. Picks up signs of bear. Follows tracks east for five miles. Sights, shoots and kills the bear. Dresses the carcass and returns to camp five miles to the north.
What color was the bear?

Correct :) :thumb:
Ah, fuck it...the answer is STOP IMAGINING.
LMAO...see...see?!?
So...what color was the freakin' bear?
Should we answer one riddle before going on to the next?
I think it's easier to follow that way Bri...but it's whatever...
So...what color was the freakin' bear?
Should we answer one riddle before going on to the next?
It's white. It's a polar bear, because following those hunting directions, the camp can only be located at the North Pole.
...Dresses the carcass...
The bear is now in a delightful lavender chiffon.

Wasn't that in one of Larry Niven's Dreampark novels? I think it was in the introduction to
The California Voodoo Game, and that Captain Cipher gave some mathematical details of the answer.

Patience is not my strong suit! :)
You're in a room with no doors or windows. In that room is only a table with a mirror on top of it. How do you get out?
You're in a room with no doors or windows. In that room is only a table with a mirror on top of it. How do you get out?
Through the looking glass?
I won't be around for the weekend, so here's the answer:
You looked in the mirror and saw what you saw. You took the saw, sawed the table in half. Two halves make a whole (hole), and you climbed out the hole. ;)
From wood it's made,
From string it's made,
It floats upon the wind.
It's made by one,
It's made by many,
From hands and mouths it spins.
A score without a game.
A staff not for the lame.
With seven letters tamed.
With five letters it’s my name
good job Flint!
Here's today's
They call me a man, but I'll never have a wife.
I was given a body, but not a life.
They made me a mouth, but didn't give me breath.
Water gives me life, but the sun brings me death.
What am I?
he was a jolly happy soul wasn't he?
