I know the answer to this (only 'cos I knew it had been posted on here before, so I did a search :roll: ) and no offence, but it's still c*** (not the best) 2nd time round lol :? .

If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

I'm struggling with the other one - the annoying thing is, I'm sure I've heard this one before too - I just can't remember the answer lol :oops: .

only one person has ever known the answer to it. its a weird one

ill try to find some riddles you haven't heard


EDIT

here you go:

"At night I come without being fetched,
at day I am gone without being stolen."

What am I?

"No beginning.
No end.
I am a symbol of the world's cycles."

What am I?

"Two brothers we are, great burdens we bear,
all day we are bitterly pressed;
Yet this I will say - we are full all the day,
and empty when we go to rest."

What are we?

"To those within the dungeon I am joy.
To those fully beneath my gaze, I can be Hell"

What am I?

"Always do I tell the truth, yet cannot speak.
Look to me and see what really is"

What am I?

"I have two heads but one body.
The more I stand still, the faster I run"

What am I?

"What goes up a chimney down,
but not down a chimney up?"

"A spirited jig it dances bright,
banishing all but darkest night.
Give it food and it will live;
give it water and it will die."

what is it?

"The life I lead is mere hours or less,
I serve all my time by being consumed.
I am quickest when thin, slowest when fat,
and wind is the bane of the gift that I bring."

What am I?

"The more that there is, the less that you see.
Squint all you wish when surrounded by me."

What am I?

"They follow and lead, but only as you pass.
Dress yourself in darkest black, and they are darker still.
Always they flee the light, though without the sun there would be none."

What are they?

"Alive as you but without breath,
as cold in my life as in my death;
never a thirst though I always drink,
dressed in a mail but never a clink."

What am I?


enjoy

the answer to the london bridge riddle is gin

As for the others:

The moon - I believe the original riddle said "at night WE come" meaning stars? I could be wrong on that one.

Circle

Shoes/boots

The Sun

mirror

an hourglass

an umbrella

fire

a candle

darkness

shadows

fish

Methinks Kemo is a fan of Baldur's Gate! Great riddles, good sir!

i was worried there might be some other baldur's gate fans... but ah well...

also about the first one... in the game it is "I" and they are still referring to stars but its "Star" so thats why they us "I" instead of "We"

I never actually played the game, but helped a friend with the riddles.

Here are two others that I like:

You saw me where I never was and where I could not be. And yet within that very place, my face you often see. What am I??
What's black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you're all through with it??
