I make some of these by my own so you won't find all of them online :P
Thought would be a more correct answer, imo.

I applaud you for attempts at creativity and lateral thinking!

edit: @what is riddle discussion: I find that the 'funny ones' that make you really think are just as good, if not better, than a traditional riddle. It shows that we're not a bunch of machines (like Blaine the train).

naw, but you do get points for both of them.


gonna re-ask the one I asked earlier and another.

Man walks over,
Man walks under,
In times of war,
He burns asunder.
(I didnt see anyone answer it.)

another easy one too :roll:

all of us are tiny creatures,
each of us has different features
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.
