Riddle me this

[Bcahn836]

Got a riddle that will stump everyone? If so post it here.
I'll start;

If it takes six men six days to dig six holes how long would it take one man to dig half a hole?

[Justin Boudreau]

You can't dig half a hole

[Lisa Perez]

How about this:

What is more evil than the devil, poor people have it, and rich people need it?

A man was outside taking a walk when it began to rain. He did not have an umbrella and he wasn't wearing a hat. His clothes were soaked, yet not a single hair on his head got wet. How could this happen?

[Michelle 236]

i'm guessing he was bald

Ughh.. Riddles.

But this one should get me one etra credit point in my English class.
How well do you know your classic literature?

"What goes on four feet in the morning, two feet at noon, and three feet in the evening?"

A man.
Four feet (hands and knees, crawling) in the morning of life (childhood).
Two feet in the middle of life.
Three feet (feet and a cane) in the evening of life (elderlyhood?).

Never read Oedipus, though. I heard it somewhere else.

I can run but never walk. I have a mouth but never talk. I have a bed but
never sleep. I have a head but never weep.

(What is ) a river

[Bcahn836]

A bucket is sitting out in the rain. If the wind begins to blow and rain starts falling at an angle, will the bucket fill up faster or slower, or will the rate of filling remain the same?

(a) Faster

(b) Slower

(c) Would fill at the same rate

Yep, that's the riddle of the sphinx. Retold in greek mythology and other mythologies as well. Very very famous and equally as old.
