A bump or a twitch or a flick,
Will introduce you to me quick.
The great, the good and corrupt,
Cower at my very thought.
The only thing left to see
is my purpose:
manifest destiny.
What am I?

I just made this one up off the top of my head. Any good?

(I was very close with the vent, eh, eh?)

Blind rage?

SurgePox on Fri Mar 06, 2009 11:11 pm

We'll see if its good once we find out the answer.

Leither on Fri Mar 13, 2009 10:16 pm

Well I was hoping you liked the cadence and the rhyme itself. If you want, I'll spoiler on the answer for those who don't want to wait...

How many mice does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Well, here's another thread necro. However, this time I asked permission and as long as I'm posting new riddles it's fine.

So, first let's clear away the old riddles.
Ok, so some guy is at his sentancing hearing after he was arrested for being too cool. The judge says to him "You are allowed to make one statement. If it is true, I will sentance you to four years in prison. If it is false, I will sentance you to six years." The man thinks a minute, then gives his answer. The judge pauses, and then decides to free him. What did the man say?.

The convict said "I'm going to jail for six years."

As to Smashbro's riddle, Mice can't screw in lightbulbs. You're crazy.

And now for my own.

1.What gets whiter as it gets dirtier?
and,
2.What word can be written backwards, upside down, and flipped over, yet still be read left to right?
And...
3.A truck is about to corss a mile-long bridge which has a weight capacity of 12500 pounds. This is EXACTLY what the truck weighs. Half a mile in a bird lands on the truck. Why didn't the bridge collapse?

Because the bridge had already collapsed. 12500lbs is the weight of the truck, not the truck, driver and cargo Very Happy

That or the truck was half a mile away from the bridge anyway.

TheTJ on Thu Mar 11, 2010 2:08 pm

Nope. The bridge is absoutly fine, the truck weighs 12500 TOTAL, and is in the middle of the bridge when a bird lands on it.

I don't even remember if there was an answer to that or if I was just being a smartass. Likely the latter.

And yay for necro on this thread.

Was it a street cleaner and the water was emptying from the truck a it was being used?

TheTJ on Thu Mar 11, 2010 7:28 pm

That's close. The only problem is by washing the bridge, the weight of the water is still on the bridge.

SnakeInABox on Thu Mar 11, 2010 7:29 pm

Just give me the fucking answers.

Except for number one. That one is BLACKBOARD

Smashy B on Thu Mar 11, 2010 7:33 pm

Did the bridge not collapse because the bird landed on the truck after the truck was a half a mile inland? You did say the truck was about to cross it, so that could mean it's at the end.

TheTJ on Thu Mar 11, 2010 7:35 pm

No, the truck is halfway through the bridge when the bird lands on it.

SnakeInABox on Thu Mar 11, 2010 7:41 pm

I know the answer to the Truck one as well, but I dont want to ruin it for them. No one knows the 2nd one, just tell us!

Smashy B on Thu Mar 11, 2010 7:44 pm

NOON. Got that in 10 seconds.

SnakeInABox on Thu Mar 11, 2010 7:45 pm

NOON doesnt work upside down.

Yes it does. Stand on your head and look at the screen.

SnakeInABox on Thu Mar 11, 2010 7:48 pm

Well I'll be a monkey fucker on a sunday afternoon.

You wanna hear the answer to the one you can't get?

Got it. I think. Having gone halfway across the bridge, the truck has burned up enough fuel to counteract the weight of the bird.

SnakeInABox on Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:30 pm

Bloody bastard got it.

Eiron on Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:37 pm

BWAHAHA. I have a bit of an odd one that someone showed me in class the other day.

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211

What number sequence comes next?

TheTJ on Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:57 pm

Yes Eiron got it.

Now for that number sequence, I can't help but think I've seen this before...

TheTJ on Thu Mar 11, 2010 9:09 pm

13112221?
