Basically, you post a riddle, and the person below you tries to solve it, then posts his/her own. Later, you say whether (s)he was right or not. If not, and nobody else has come up with the right answer, just say it.
Anyway, the rules are:
1. Generally, I don't want anything you can find on a popsicle stick.
2. It has to be solvable. It can be a joke, but it has to be the obvious answer.
3. If I see something like "What's red and white and black all over?" I'll eat your soul.
4. Fish
I'll start with something easy:
What always runs
but never walks
and has a mouth
that never talks

A river.
My first is in tea but not in leaf
My second is in teapot and also in teeth
My third is in caddy but not in cosy
My fourth is in cup but not in rosy
My fifth is in herbal and also in health
My sixth is in peppermint and always in wealth
My last is in drink, so what can I be?
I’m there in a classroom, do you listen to me?

Teacher.
Until I am measured
I am not known,
Yet how you miss me
When I have flown
I'm guessing its time?
I don't have a purticular riddle to say right now, so if I'm right, I pass on my chance to the next person, if I'm wrong. Then meh.

Whilst that may or may not be the answer Aki, time is often a sure win with riddles. (my guess is air btw)
Still, a note for future reference, try not to nick too many from lord of the rings\hobbit folks. ; )

Aki-at was right. Since nobody else put up a riddle...
If you eat me you will die
If you drink me you will die
The poor have me
The rich need me
You are nothing! I don't have a riddle though so, pass.

*Sigh* I guess I'll go again.
I go around in circles
But always straight ahead
I never complain
No matter where I am led

A wheel.
He who makes me doesn't want me,
He who buys me doesn't need me,
He who uses me doesn't care.
What am I?

A coffin.
Of no use to one
Yet absolute bliss to two
The small boy gets it for nothing
The young man has to lie for it
The old man has to buy it
The baby's right
The lover's privilege
The hypocrite's mask
To the young girl, faith
To the married woman, hope
To the old maid, charity

A kiss.
Iron roof, glass walls
Burns and burns
And never falls.
What am I?
Rainbow Dash

...A lantern, I think.
You've heard me before yet you hear me again
Then I die 'till you call me again
I don't know, but the first thing that comes to mind is an echo....
I have two coins in my pocket making 30 cents. One coin isn't a nickel. What are the coins?
Rainbow Dash
19-06-06, 03:38
Correct. And a quarter and a nickel.
Walk on the living
They don't even mumble
Walk on the dead
The mutter and grumble
By the way, it takes the fun out if you just google it, so please don't.
um....A Zombie? ok I don't have a riddle for you so I pass.

...Um, not quite. And by not quite, I mean not even close.

Leaves! And I don't have one.
Fine I'll take this turn.
What eight letter word has only one letter?

Envelope.
What walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs at noon, and 3 legs in the evening?
Human
Baby > Adult > Old person with a stick
I am sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but I am nobody's fool. For there is no language that I can't speak, though I never went to school.

...I think it's an echo, but I'm not sure. Lesse...
Barrels, baskets, buckets, cans
What do you fill with empty hands?
Your right, and your answer to the riddle is glove.
I can be short and sometimes hot. When displayed, I rarely impress.
temper
What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes
And yet never grows?
Rainbow Dash

...My minds definetely not operating at peak capacity. Err...
5 minutes pass...
...Temper!
With potent, flowery words speak I
Of something common vulgar dry
I weave webs of pedantic prose
In an effort to befuddle those
Who think I wile time away
In lofty things above all day
The common kind that linger where
Monadic beings live and fare
Practical I may not be
But life it seems is full of me
Edit: Damn, outposted. Lemme think for Zero's...
Edit: Ah! Now I remember. By the way, try not to use ones from "the Hobbit" or "Lord of the Rings". The answer's mountain, by the way.
a riddler
Here there is no north, west, nor east,
And weather fit for not man nor beast.

Outer space.
No riddle... Was my answer right?
I got two...
What am I?
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
The one who makes it sells it.
The one who buys it doesn't use it.
The one who's using it doesn't know he's using it.
Rainbow Dash

It's "nothing." Already did it.

Eh, it's a coffin. I did that one if you checked the earlier posts.
In a stable there are men and horses. In all, there are 22 heads and 72 feet. How many men and how many horses are in the stable?
Rainbow Dash
26-06-06, 03:46
Of course you'd make me do math. 14 horses and 8 men.
You're in a cell with two gaurds. One of them tells only the truth and the other tells only lies. There are two unlocked doors. One leads to freedom, the other to certain death. You have one question to ask both of the gaurds at the same time. What do you ask?
And by the way, I did the coffin thing two. That makes three times.

You would ask one of the guards: "If I were to ask the other guard, which door would he say would lead me to freedom." After the guard replies, choose the door opposite to what the guard said.
Voiceless it cries
wingless flutters
toothless bites
mouthless mutters

A man was dead in a casino. He was holding 53 bycicles. How did he die?
Daemonseele

The man was playing cards wth the "Bicycle" brand cards. Snce a deck of cards only contains 52 cards, the man was killed for cheating.
A man sleeps with the lights on every night. One night he decided to sleep with it off. The next day he read the newspaper and promptly killed himself afterwards.
Why did he do that?
T3h_Waffleman
27-06-06, 22:46
He was a sleep walker and the lights kept him from sleep walking, and when he sleep walked, he killed someone and it was in the paper?
I'm not gonna give a riddle until I'm sure of that.

Nope. He lives in a lighthouse. By turning off the lights, he kept a ship full of people from avoiding the rocks.
A man holding a piece of paper is walking quickly through the hallway. The lights suddenly flicker. The man looks up shocked, throws the paper away and walks away shaking his head.
Why?
I have no idea.
I'm around 3 feet.
I have a thing for bags.
I'm loud and heavy.
I have a tube.
I'm sure this one won't take long.
Daemonseele
27-07-06, 19:25
I have no idea.
The man had release papers for an immate who was about to be executed by electrocution. The flickering of the lights meant that the switch was pulled and the man was too late.
And how are we supposed to know that?
Don't forget about my riddle.
