He placed the hat on the BARREL of his gun and carried it with him.

A cowboy rode into a town on Friday, stayed the night, and then left the next morning on Friday. How is this posible?

To answer boiler's riddle, the word is "unusual"

That would actually be a pair of shoes--note that it has two feet.

And the answer to your riddle is 6 oranges.

How did the elephant get to the top of the pine tree?

He didn't, elephants don't live in areas near pine trees.


Black I am and much admired, men seek me until they're tired. When they find me, they break my head, and take from me my resting bed. What am I?

Sorry, wrong answer. Try again.

Ok Eric, I've waited what seems like an eternity for the answer to this riddle...:(

How DID the elephant get to the top of the pine tree? The best I can come up with was that he got stuck there after skydiving from an airplane. :D

Try finding an airplane that can lift an elephant...:D

He sat on a pine cone and waited.

A new riddle:

You are trapped in a room with no windows and only one very heavily barred door. The only other thing in the room is a stick. How do you get out?

Kittybot 24-02-2008 10:30

Re: Riddle Game!
 
I say you take the stick and glide it along the bars, making a loud noise until it drives whoever is out there mad, so they let you out! :D

MiniNerd24 24-02-2008 12:50

Re: Riddle Game!
 
That was good!
You break the stick in half put together to make a whole (or hole) and you go through the hole.
I'll someone else make some riddles, I think some haven't even been answered.
