I personally enjoy riddles, not to say im any good at them but i am a fan i just wondered if anyone wanted to play
The person who guesses the riddle correctly makes the next riddle (i think that's fair).
I'll start us off:
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.
Whats the password? and why?

Three because that is how many letters are in the word ten

, your turn mate.

errrrrrr.... here we go,

It's more powerful than God.
It's more evil than the devil.
The poor have it.
The rich need it.
If you eat it, you'll die.
What am I :laola:

nothing?

Using ones from the Lord of the Rings is a bit easy... But if everyone's doing it...

A chest without lock or key, but golden treasure lies inside. What am I?

Always remember, man who goes to bed with ichy bum, wakes up with smelly finger!!!

Anyway: Here goes:

A man pushes a car to a motel, pays them some money and pushes the car away.

Where is he and why does he pay them some money?


I got told this one by a prisoner during the time I spent working in the civvy prisons in the late 80's during the prison officer's strike.

Anyone know the answer?

Oooo now this is a tough one. It could be many things if that line 'if you eat it, you'll die.' wasnt in there. If it wasnt for that line it could be something like an emotion/feeling but you cant eat feelings last I heard.

Oh I got it! Its the shopping cart with the broken wheel that just spins around and makes a fcking horrible squeaking noise!

Explination:
God doesnt effect everyone (some people dont believe) whereas the trolley effects everyone who is near it

The devil is evil sure, but that damn trolley will haunt you everytime you go shopping at any supermarket!

The poor have it because thats how they move their stuff around

The rich need a trolley to go shopping for all their fancy pancy food and other goods, and of course they only get the trolley with the broken wheel (hence its evilness)

And have you ever heard of someone eatting a trolley and then being able to talk about it?


Okay so thats that riddle done


NEXT!!

lol.

Ok. Its as light as a feather. But no man can hold it long. What am i?

hmm, could be fire, but if we're being technical and it is actually the exact same weight as a feather then I dont have a clue.

Other possibilities could be:

Any other hot substance
A gas


hmmm its late here so I will just give up, I am thinking to logically at the moment.

Yes that's correct.


Now for something a little more difficult.

A bell rings a man dies, a bell rings.

Where is he and why does he die?

ps. If you contact www.randomhouse.co.nz, they may be able to get a copy of my second book for you.

Its not the blind guy swimming with the bell on the bouy and the bell his mate has is it?

Oh and I checked that website, they can get it no worries. now I just need to find $30 (10 pounds)... looks like I'll have to save up for it.
