[The letter e ]

__________________
This all looks strangely familiar...

I actually just made it up on the spot, thinking the answer 'a pen' or 'a pencil'... but holy shit, the letter 'e' also applies to it. Damn I'm good. And so are you two. The dates? Paradise, whatever you're smoking, I want some.

Oh, and rachel got the first two answers right.

What holds something up, has more than one hole and sometimes has bits of metal or plastic on it?

I made that up. More later... I. Love. This. Topic. Could someone else post some riddles too?

police find a woman dead on her bed. she was killed and the murderer use a pair of siscors to do it. yet there was no blood or wounds, bruises, etc of any kind on the body. how did the killer kill her.

the woman is in peak physical shape, nothing wrong with her at all

no one has attempted this one yet

a pair of identical twins were drinking from poisoned drinks. both drinks contained the same deadly poison. yet only one twin died from the poison and the other did not. why?

did i stump you guys? come on. ask me and i may give out hints

Okay, me just thought of another riddle:

A man goes to a small town. He's badly in need of a haircut, and he finds 2 barber shops in town. One barber shop is insanely messy, and the barber has the worst looking haircut in the world. The other shop is neat and tidy, and the barber has a very good haircut. The man thinks for a second and goes into the extremely messy barber shop. Why?

[The messy barbershop is full of hair and stuff because the barber spends most of his time cutting hair, leaving little time to clean up. The barber who owns the neat barbershop gets his hair cut at the other barber since it would be hard to cut his own hair (unless he had a flowbie). The owner of the messy barbershop gets his hair cut by the owner of the neat barbershop, who happens to suck at cutting hair which is why his shop is so neat.]


[a woman ] ...................

[a woman ] ...................



[a woman ] ...................

[It's good to go with the assumption that, being there is only 2 barbers in the town, they cut each other's hair. So, seeing that it's the "tidy" barber whose hair has been cut well, it's good to assume that it's the messy barber that gives good haircuts.]

This one's easy I suppose, but here goes:

A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?

A woman has two gold bars that she escaped with from...well, something or other, I can't remember. She weighs 110 lbs. The bars weigh only 5 lbs each, and they're circular. So I guess they're gold balls, but that sounded funny. For some reason, she needs to keep the gold balls, but she comes to a rope bridge that only holds 117 lbs. How does she get across with both gold bars/balls things?

Oh, and I remember this in french:

Je suis ce que je suis
Mais je ne suis pas ce que je suis
Car si je cuis ce que je suis
Je ne suis pas ce que je suis

What am I? (sorry, it doesn't make sense translated.)

apologize if first has been posted before...my internet's slow and I'm lazy.

[The farmer is the only one who is carrying any grain, so his load will be the heaviest.]

And now I'll add my favorite riddle. I could make it shorter, but I like this version of it and the story.



Back in medieval times, there was a man who was imprisoned in a tower by the king. On the last day before he was supposed to be put to death, the king went to see him and gave him an offer. He told the prisoner, "It's been many years since someone told me a riddle that has left me completely confused. If by the setting of the sun you can think of a riddle that I cannot solve, then you are a free man." The prisoner walked around his tiny tower room all day, trying to come up with a really good riddle. It was when he stuck his head out the window to get a breath of fresh air, that he thought of one. When the king returned, the prisoner walked over to the window, and pointed down to the courtyard, at a man who was selling vegetables. The prisoner then said, "Though I have no sisters or brothers, that man's father is my father's son. What relation am I to that man?" The king was not able to come up with the correct answer by the time the sun set, so the prisoner was granted his promise and set free. But what is the answer?
