I'd love to go around and give you numerous reasons why matter does not really fit, although I must admit I can see perspectives where it does.

either way, that's not why we're here.

any riddles?

[Crude answer, skip over if easily offended]

 

just for "hits and sgiggles" ... is it a part of the male anatomy ...

if so how would you know most of those! o,O

Arnold Schwarzenneger has had so many steroids through his time I am sure he can't have a "big one" unless he has had surgery ...

Death is the end of all that's living

But sometimes a good change is given

What stinks in life, covered in mud and flies?

But in death it's sweet smells can make men rise

 

(p.s. I got the idea from another riddle, but this is O.C. so good luck trying to google it  )

I dont have one at the moment...I just really like guessing/figuring them out! So someone else can post a riddle in my place

[Shine 144]

this one is from a certain book, one most of us probably have read. I found it to be a thinker. (I did change it slightly to make it less google-able)

 

Think of someone who lives in disguise,
dealing in secrets and telling only lies,
Then tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
In the middle of middle and at the end of the end?
Now lastly please give me the sound that is heard,
Whilst searching for a hard-to-find word.
Connect these three sounds and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss

 

Good luck

very good

[Shine 144]

It's been a while...

 

Each morning I appear
To lie at your feet,
All day I will follow
No matter how fast you run,
Yet I nearly perish
In the midday sun.

 

what am I?

[Nemo 27]

My shadow?

(sorry, I forgot it was my turn :P)

[Shine 144]

Was that in Harry Potter?

[Shine 144]

Yup, it was. its what this thread has its name from.

in part 4 the goblet of fire harry encounters a sfinx. the sfinx will not let him pass unless he answers a riddle. this is the riddle given.

[Nemo 27]

Okay, since I'm never able to come up with anything good, I'll stick with one turn ;)

I do not eat and I do not sleep

My face face away from the wall

I am not what I look like and I do not see what I look at

My face is not my own

[Damien 1,514]

a mirror?

[Shine 144]

a painting

[Nemo 27]

A portrait is the correct answer, so I'll give it to Shine.

 

Mirror is a fine answer too though :)

[Shine 144]
