Riddle me this, riddle me that...

chimerical · 10-01-2004, 05:19 AM

I sought my first in starry skies
where shines the April sun.

The second came before my eyes
And warned me to be done.

Tis very hard to lose one's sight
I'm blind as bat or mole.

Once hills and fields were my delight
Now I'm no more my whole.

I .. can't find the answer! Help?

Sniper · 10-01-2004, 12:18 PM

hey!

just been tring to find the answer to it, but had zero luck, I found some sites with the riddle on it, but the asnwer was a question mark every time.

chimerical · 11-01-2004, 06:51 AM

Ditto that. That question mark is making me want to mutilate! That riddle has been gnawing at my brain since I heard it, and it's vaguely annoying there's no answer!! If I find it, I'll post, and likewise? Yes? ::offers cookies to whoever can answer it::

This one's been running through my subconscious for about a month now... If anyone can figure this out, they're smarter than I!

hey, lalee

is that a guess or the answer? lol

harrack52 · 26-01-2004, 11:54 AM

That would make sense if the guy who wrote that riddle comes from the southern hemisphere (here spring starts in april, not fall)

I think that's it !

Anti-Trend · 27-01-2004, 01:42 AM

Good tries all, but I don't that fits with the whole riddle... I've never heard the answer to this one, and I've stumped a lot of people with it so far. Unfortunately, that includes me!

Penquin_coder · 29-06-2004, 11:43 PM

I don't get it. Are you saying that you don't know the answer, or that the answer is a question mark? If it's a question mark, could you explain why?

you get a whole bunch of spring constellations in the meanings - Aries, Cancer, Hydra and Crater to name a few. I read about the meanings on some "able2know" site or something.

Waffle · 30-06-2004, 07:32 PM

oh yeah on the topic of riddles....

What occurs once in a second, twice in one hour, and never in three hundred years?

The letter "O", of course

Credit goes to my co-worker Serena, who figured it out in about 30 seconds after I'd been thinking about it all day. D'oh!

Sniper · 30-06-2004, 11:48 PM

hehe, very clever!

Waffle · 01-07-2004, 06:31 PM

heh heh. yeah its pretty good. one more as i jsut thought of it. not so much a riddle, but:

If everything I say to you is a lie, am I telling the truth, or am I lying?

And just to really tax your thinking muscle (which would be the brain, I guess)

When asked which would you rather have: A ham sandwich, or eternal happiness, what would you choose and can you prove one is better than the other?

All will be revealed when someone replies.... ^_^
