Riddles! Does anyone
Riddles! Does anyone have some good ones? I'm on this other site where they were telling riddles, and so I decided that we could do it on here too! Here's one:
Alice and Emily are twin sisters, but Alice is thirteen and Emily is three. How can this be?
If you need a hint, ask me because I have one!

I think that in the olden days that if it was raining, they couldn't go out to farm or something.
Also, not many people like rain.
Here's one from my friend:
What is worse than hell, better than god, the poor have it, and the rich need it?
(I know it's religious with the god and hell thing, but it's still a riddle.)
(June 9, 2009 - 7:21 pm)
Well, nothing's better than God! What is it?
(June 10, 2009 - 5:20 pm)
Um... not sure. *wracks brains*
(June 10, 2009 - 5:28 pm)
NOTHING!

Oh! That sounds familiar..... but I don't remember the answer :(

What is larger than you, is gray near the bottom and white at the top, has four sides, lives between Switzerland and Germany, and says "Clean up your room!"?

Um... *has no idea*

LENA! I GOT IT! :D:D I almost never get riddles by myself! Alice and Emily are not twins with each other. Alice has a twin and Emily has a twin.

Um, no, sorry. Actually someone already solved it, but you can keep guessing and I won't give it away. Your answer is one explanation - that's what my dad said at first - but it's not what I was thinking of.
I'll give you a hint. For this to work, the year has to be 2013. I didn't factor that in when I wrote it - sorry! But that they were born in 2000 is significant.

The whole Heaven/Hell thing gave me the idea to tell this joke.
A man was being shown what would happen if he lived a bad vs. good life. He was taken to a huge room that had a large banquet table with all kinds of delicious foods on it. In the room were dozens of people, all with splints on their arms so they couldn't bend at the elbow. (And therefore they couldn't feed themselves).
"This is awful" the man said. "If this is Hell, show me what Heaven is like!"
He then was shown a place very much like the first. A banquet, and everyone with their arms in splints so they couldn't bend.
"This is what I have to look forward to?!" The man asked. "What is the difference between Heaven and Hell?"
His guide replied, "Here, they feed each other."

Duh! It's a leap year!
(June 14, 2009 - 7:48 pm)
Yeah, it's a leap year. I wouldn't say it was 'duh,' though.
(June 15, 2009 - 8:13 am)
Yeah, whatever. Anyway, I've got a riddle.*thinks*Actually,it's more of a lame joke. Well, here goes! Pete and Re-Pete were in a boat. Pete fell out. Who was left?
(June 16, 2009 - 1:32 pm)
Uh, repeat?
(June 16, 2009 - 5:27 pm)
I have heard that one before, if you say repeat she will just say it again, so you say something like repeat was left.
