Wow, some one called me smart, that's a first. Come on, does anyone have any other riddles? Here's one... If a rooster lays an egg on a roof like this /\ which way will it roll down? (this is an old one.)

greedo626

11-21-2002, 12:16 PM

it depends on the rotation of the Earth plus factoring in the Moon and the Sun's gravitaional pull and... wait... roosters can't lay eggs

whitedragon

11-21-2002, 01:30 PM

ok ill try to remember

this has roots that nobody sees
is taller than trees
up, up, it goes
and yet never grows

voiceless it crys
wingless it flutters
toothless it bites
mouthless it mutters

it cannot be seen
cannot be felt
cannot be heard
cannot be smelt
it lies behind stars
and under hills
and empty holes it fills
it comes first
and follows after
ends life
kills laughter

Skate Boy

11-21-2002, 01:37 PM

The first one is "Mountains". Darn! I can't remeber the other ones.:mad:

I was here before the first creature under the sky.
I will be here 'till after the last is gone.
I reside in the deepest of oceans.
I thrive so high that even the eagle cannot soar with me.
I am never hungry, yet I feed constantly, and cannot be sated.
I am never in a hurry, yet I never rest.

Who am I?

And another one:

I was created with the universe.
I will remain forever.
Only I will endure.
Next to me, all else is dust in the wind.

What am I?
