This one is the vowels of the alphabet. I know this because I am a HUGE The Dark Tower fan.

The movie adaptation is in pre-production for those of you with a Roland fetish.


two people answered it right, yeah. for those of you who dont understand;

one of us youll find in jEt
another of us in glAss is set
one of us youll find in tIn
the fourth of us is bOxed within
if the fifth you should pursue
it can never fly from yoU

yeah, I just hope the movie doesn't suck ass. I heard they got a good bunch of people to make it, I wonder who they got to do Roland?

This guy is close to inking the deal.

Here's my contribution from the riddling contest:

You can spin, wheel and twist, but it can turn without moving. What is it?

a spinning wheel? :P

A little too obvious answer, probably wrong.

Good guess, but wrong. A spinning wheel moves when turning.

Rather than come in and tell each person they are wrong, I'll just check in and if the right answer isn't here, I'll remain mute. Once someone answers correctly, I'll tell them and give them an internet high five.

Correct.

What is it that is deaf, dumb and blind and always tells the truth?

A mirror.

A cowboy comes to town on Friday and then 2 days later leaves on Friday.
How did he do it?

A guy named Ridge has won a car and has to go in a room and stay there for exactly 30 minutes. He has no clock, watch or anything that tells time. He was given a lighter and a candle that burns for 1 hour. He has nothing to measure the candle with. He walks out 30 minutes later, how did he do it?

He waited for the candle to be half burnt down?
