That sounds cool.
In the meanwhile, I have another riddle!
I went to the wood, and I caught it:
Then I sat me down and I sought it:
The longer I sought for what I had caught,
The less worth catching I thought it.
I would rather have sold it than bought it:
And when I had sought,
Without finding aught,
Home in my hand I brought it.

Sweet. I have to stop guessing, I don't have any riddles to share. :p
Okay, I just heard this fantastic riddle today and it took me a full hour and a half to get it.
A man goes to a restaurant and orders an albatross burger. He takes one bite, freezes, walks outside and kills himself out of guilt. Why did he do this?
Hint: No, he was not a PETA member.

I've heard this riddle over a dozen times.
Years ago, the mad was trapped on a deserted island after a plane crash that killed all but him and that other man. The other man had food duty, and would come back with tons of meat, claiming it's from the local albatross population. Eventually, they are rescued. Years later the man orders an albatross burger from a restaraunt and shoots himself because he realized that he had been eating human meat when they were stranded on the island.

Wait... None of that was hinted at in the riddle. That isn't a riddle, that's wild speculation! Also, they wouldn't serve albatross burgers.
Also, given that he's ordered and is eating "albatross" again, one can assume he found the taste of human meat delicious. Om nom nom. Maybe he's just upset that he can't get that sweet, sweet taste ever again.

Good point...but, my answer's right. I know after the numerous times I've heard this riddle.
Anyway, it's my turn.
My body tapers nice and neat,
But with one eye am yet complete;
You'd judge me by my equipage;
The greatest warrior of the age;
For when you have surveyed me round;
Nothing but steel is to be found;
Yet men I never was known to kill,
But ladies' blood I often spill.

Er... I'm not sure if I should even say my guess, because a needle is far less inappropriate and probably correct. In fact, my guess really doesn't make much sense now that I think about it. It just correlates with "one eye" and "ladies' blood I often spill."
I'm so nasty.

Naughty Relym! I was about to say there are ladies and children present, but I'm one of the only girls in this part of the forum, and you're one of the younger members here abouts. I keep forgetting you're younger than me...
I WILL THINK UP A RIDDLE FOR THIS SOON AS NONE SPRING TO MIND.

Personally, I think it means that she'll post a riddle once she's so familiar with every riddle ever that there are none left to spring to mind. I know that my intellect is far superior to that of anyone in this forum, so I'm sure I'm right.
