Someone starts a riddle or puzzle, and everyone else tries to guess what it is. The person with the right answer gets to ask the next one.  If the riddle poster does not respond, remind them.  If the riddle poster does not seem to be responding after awhile, assume that riddle is dead and move on to the next one.

(Time to start a new thread.  The old one was nearing 1000 posts.)

If you want to see private line guesses for previous riddles, you can look at a closed and archived riddle thread.

Here's a funny one I like. I did not make this up, so I assume it is online. Restrain yourself from looking it up, if you can.

Why is the letter O the noisiest of all the vowels?

I'm so tempted to go look it up.  But I'm trying to be good.

HINT: This is a play on words like the old one "When is a door not a door?"

I will go ahead and give the answer here since it has been a few days:

Because it's not in audible (inaudible).

Anyone can post the next one.

She cries without eyes,
Diminishing size,
And when the flame
Upon her came,
From her tears
She disappears.

a candle?

Yes. I thought that might be a hard one. Glad you got it!

I rather had fun making that one. one of my favorites of my recent creations.

I have one idea here. Maybe people can put their answers in "spoiler" format. Then if others want to try to solve, they can do so without having the answer right in front of them. Just an idea.

I enjoy your riddles too :)

I have a head,
But cannot think;
Strike me hard,
And smell my stink,
And then I'm gone
Before you blink.

A match?

Yes. Guess we're not doing the spoiler thing...?

I haunt, all pale, the waters of foul fens;
Fortune has fashioned me a bloody name,
For greedy gulps of red blood are my fare.
No bones, or feet, or arms at all have I,
yet bite with three-forked wounds unlucky men,
And by health-bringing lips thus conquer care.

Leeches - the riddle is from the same super-classic adventure I pillaged so far...

I think he meant to put your guesses in spoilers, not the answer when you post the riddle lol

In reply to Grant (msg # 15):

Congratulations! You guessed right!
Now it's your turn to post a riddle :P

No new riddle to stump me yet?

Sorry, I only solve the riddles, not post them.
