I thought it would be interesting to spice things up a bit with a new game.

The rules are fairly simple, the first person asks a riddle and the following people can answer it; and the first one to get it right can then ask a riddle of their own, and so on. If the person doesn't want to ask any, that's fine, the next person can just do that then.

If the questions get to be to tough for some, then the riddler can answer any inquiries about the riddle in a yes/no format, if they're replies are right or wrong, or just give hints if it turns out to be super tough (Don't think that'll happen though, we're a smart bunch).

It doesn't make much difference what type of riddles they are, they could be, What am I? Whodunit? Mathematical inquiries, or basically just general stump the poster types.

PS: I think this can give us a great opportunity to increase our brain power and knowledge.

I'll start off with an (hopefully) easy one:
I'm always hungry,
I must always be fed.
The finger I lick,
will soon become red.
What am I?

Kitty

I am thinking a cat because there tongues are like sandpaper....

**jamestl2** · 04-15-2009, 08:46 PM

Not quite...

Any more guesses?

**serandfae** · 04-16-2009, 12:08 AM

A furnace?

**jamestl2** · 04-16-2009, 12:25 AM

Getting closer....

**serandfae** · 04-16-2009, 05:50 PM

So, a fireplace, then.

**jamestl2** · 04-16-2009, 07:50 PM

I think that's close enough

.

The answer is actually "fire" or just a "flame".

You or anyone else want's to ask a riddle, go right ahead; or else I have some more too if you guys'd prefer it, I have plenty more

Actually James I had fun with this riddle game, I have a riddle but it's not my turn yet. And I bet other members will join in too, well hopefully!

**serandfae** · 04-17-2009, 04:07 PM

Well, now I've made it your turn.

Any Riddle????I want to give it a try

**jamestl2** · 04-18-2009, 03:42 AM

Alright, I suppose in the meantime, here's another one for you:
I have roots that no one sees,
am taller than trees.
Up, up, and up I go
Yet, I never grow.
What am I?

**Brian07002** · 04-18-2009, 05:02 AM

I'll take a shot at this one...Is it a family tree?

**Brian07002** · 04-18-2009, 05:05 AM

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?

Answer:

**jamestl2** · 04-18-2009, 05:07 AM

Nope...

I'll guess that yours is....
A grave.

**Brian07002** · 04-18-2009, 05:23 AM

Your correct James!

Here's another one:

From the beginning of eternity To the end of time and space To the beginning of every end And the end of every place. What am I?

**jamestl2** · 04-18-2009, 05:30 AM

The letter E...

**Giselle** · 04-18-2009, 11:15 AM

Black Hole?

**serandfae** · 04-18-2009, 12:05 PM

Nah, James was right.

James, I'm going to guess that yours that was yet unanswered is a skyscraper.

Here's a hard one:

What do cops, security guards/orderlies, nurses and teachers all have in common?
(hint: it's related to time)

tim

**jamestl2** · 04-18-2009, 03:04 PM

Not a skyscraper.

I have no idea what they have in common though, I'll come back to it later if I think of anything, given if no one else has the answer.

**serandfae** · 04-18-2009, 03:07 PM

A mountain?
