come fiddle with my riddle ?

from JoeUser Forums


i have the strength of sixty men, i'm over ten feet tall
i'm footed, though i never move, it's said that i can fall

in grand ballrooms i can be seen holding up affairs
and i can bring the house down if i crack up near the stairs

... what am i ?


if you know the solution to this riddle, please make me very happy by posting it :) ... but if you do post the answer, you must post the next riddle to be guessed by the next successful person, and so on. or so i hope.

course, the whole thing could get ignored, too. how embarrasing that would be. hehe. oh, well ... the risks one will take in order to achieve linguistic banter these days apparently know no bounds !!!. somebody guess, dammit ;)

I was thinking the same as Dyl...I am hopeless at this kind of thing, hence the no reply BUT I'm just letting you know I'm here and I love you enough to answer, just not a very good answer, hehe!

Of course you did. That was right on the money.

Zoo~ dude, if Andy wouldn't have told you all, only a select few of us would know it right now.

..................................................

Because cigars cannot be entirely smoked, a hobo who collects cigar butts can make a cigar to smoke out of every 5 butts that he finds. Today, he has collected 25 cigar butts. How many cigars will he be able to smoke?

Anyway...about your riddle...I would say 6 cigars....am I right?

is he right ?

and i have a NEW ONE:

you have a rooster, a fox, and a bag of grain. you must transport each of them to a nearby island via a rowboat. you may carry only one thing at a time. the catch: the rooster will eat the grain and the fox will eat the rooster, so you cannot leave those two things together on either shore. you may make as many trips as you want, and there is a solution.how do you safely transport them all taking only one thing at a time ?


(i think this one is old, but it annoyed me for days ! .. hope y'all don't know it right away !)

Coincidentally I found this riddle tonight while cleaning out my inbox:

Schwarzenegger has a big one
Michael J. Fox has a small one
Madonna doesn't have one
The Pope has one but doesn't use his
Clinton uses his all the time
Mickey Mouse has an unusual one
Liberace never used his on women
Jerry Seinfeld is very, very proud of his.
Cher claims that she took on 3
We never saw Lucy use Desi's
What is it?

Ok, you take the rooster across, go back and get the fox, take the fox over, you then take the rooster back, leave it at the other shore and take the grain across, go back and get the rooster again. Did that make sense?

Take rooster. Leave rooster on island.
Take fox. Leave fox on island -- Pick up rooster and return him to shore. (Island = fox)
Take grain (leave rooster). Leave grain on Island. (Island = fox, grain)
Take rooster. Island now has you, rooster, grain, and fox.

Oh, that's easy...first you take the rooster, and then come back and get the grain. Go back to the island pick up the rooster and put down the grain. Go to the shore get the fox and put down the rooster. put the fox on the island and then go and get the rooster...there ya go!
