[Skreeee]

What walks on 4 legs in the morning...
...2 during the day...
...and 3 during the evening?

bit of a vulgar generalization of old people, dontcha think?

It's supposed to be a play on the life of a man in general. Babies crawl, adults walk, and geriatrics use a cane.

What makes water wetter, fire hotter, earth stronger, and wind lighter?

Is it... people?

 

[Azraellod]

A'll be mean...

A man sit on top of a mountain able to answer any question in the entire world. People come from all over the world to challenge and seek his wisdom and yet no one can stump him.

One day a little boy comes up the mountain and asks the man, what is the one question you cannot answer?

Spoiler

G'luck answering that one since its an unsolvable paradox. If he answers the boys question then he has provided an answer but at the same time not given an answer.

i think that it can be answered with; "there is no question that i cannot answer."

He's asking what is the one question that he cannot answer. Saying there is no question isn't answering the question the boy asks.

If he answers his question in anyway, then he's provided an answer to the question.

Thus paradox.

i'm still pretty sure that it works.

if you were to ask the question "where on the planet is a full scale model of the sun?", then the answer would be "nowhere" because there isn't one.

but if you insist, i will find another way around the paradox.

he merely has to state an alternate question that he cannot answer. thus, he answers the question with no paradox, because he has named the question that he cannot answer and at the same time answered the initial question.

The riddle has a constant fact that the man has the power to answer any question on earth.

Thus the a paradox occurs.

It's like being ale to fly *everywhere* then being challenged to fly to a place that you cannot fly.

Joe walked into the "Five Dollar Beer" Bar and bought a beer. He sat down and was about to start drinking when he saw his friend John walk in. John goes up to Joe and says "I bet you 2 dollars that I can put a bowl over that glass of beer and drink all of it without moving the bowl or glass." Is this a good bet for Joe to take and why or why not?

 

[metamorphisis]

What happens one in a minute, twice in a millenium, but not once in a century?

The letter I.

I was going for m, but congratulations!

Oh that is funny.

It made me chuckle a bit.

Is this a good bet for Joe to take and why or why not?

No, he can turn it upsidedown and just drink from the bowl?

Or does that break the rule?

No, he can turn it upsidedown and just drink from the bowl?

So, no, bad bet.

Or does that break the rule?

He takes the bowl off the beer, drinks it, then pays his friend the 2 dollars having saved 3 at the "Five dollar beer" bar.

A plane crashed, and every single person on board died, but there are survivors. How?

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

A man builds a house, and all the sides face south, he looks out the window and sees a bear, what color is the bear?

If all the sides face south it is hardly a house is it?

I believe at that point it's called "a wall"!

I just got all nostalgic for "Batman Forever", so I'll hit up an oldy, but a goodie:

We are five little things of an everyday sort,
You'll find us all in A Tennis Court.

That's what I hate about text. A lot of the time I end up being sarcastic without realizing it.

He built it on the North Pole, thus the bear is white, because it's a Polar Bear. This one has been done in another variation on this thread.

Hopefully this hasn't been done yet:

It's as light as a feather, yet even the strongest man can't hold it for long. What is it?

Now riddle me this, Batman! What do bears and fallen trees have in common?
