Hmm, never heard that, but it would work in addition to the dates. Dates/sundaes would be the food part of it, but where would he get the drink part?

Scientists have proven that cats have more hair on one side than their other side. Some people believe that this is because when cats laydown they need insulation from the cold on the floor or ground. Which side of a cat has more hair?

Well, they are more suited to a room full of people brainstorming the answer.

At least post what the final answer was.

:p

Hang on there, Spooner! Why is my riddle "friggin retarded" and shouldn't be posted when it was simply a follow-up to

Here is one someone sent me a long time ago.. be warned the answer is NOT logical

A man is locked in a room. The room has no windows and only one door. The only things in the room with the man are a mirror and a table. Gaurds are stationed outside the door. Several hours later a gaurd opens the door to check on the man. The man is gone. What happened?

I stated up front that you had to defy logic just like that one and that it was in the same vein as dnetmhz's riddle. These are both riddles that can't be easily Googled. Granted they are corny and defy logic, but both were stated as such up front.

Goth, I agree, they are retarded but they make you think, isn't that the whole idea here?

Thanks, MegaloManiak.

The answer was he eats the dates from the calendar and drinks from the springs in the bed. The table and mirror were red herrings and are used as such after telling the original "cut the table in two halves" riddle. It makes it more difficult to be solved as most tend to concentrate on the table and mirror since they were involved in the solving of the first riddle.

OK, no more of these type riddles.

No problem, Spooner. Just felt like I was being targeted unfairly there. ;)

They are frustrating and I remember wracking my brain when they were first told to me, oh, about 20 years ago. I've been trying to remember riddles told to me that aren't easily Googled and the table/mirror one unlocked a memory that has been stored away for 20 years :)

An easy old one:

You enter a dark room. You have only one match. There is a candle, a furnace, and a stove in the room. Which would you light first?

A man walked into a coffee shop, sat down, and ordered a coffee. The waitress brought him a coffee and he soon realized that there was a fly in his cup. He asked for a new cup of coffee and she took it and left, came back, and handed him back a cup of coffee. How did the man know that all she did was take the fly out of his cup and not get him a fresh cup of coffee?

He put creamer in it already.

If the fly was black, he wouldn't notice it until it turned brown from the creamer, the waitress returned with a cup of coffe that had creamer in it already.

Weight in my belly,
Trees on my back,
Nails in my ribs,
Feet I do lack.

a boat?

Yep.

Here's a good one (please no Googling as I'd like to see some brainstorming before someone else or I give the answer):

When set loose
I fly away,
Never so cursed
As when I go astray.

another one to keep busy:

This bacterial waste product can be extremely deadly in some forms. Yet millions of people voluntarily ingest it everyday.
The bacteria produce it as certain materials decompose. It is used by doctors, janitors, racecar drivers and maybe even you.

Nope, but another good guess that would be an acceptable answer. Just not the one that I've seen and heard before.
