If your meeting a man sporting wood lets hope your friends with him ;)

An unborn baby?

LOL nope to all. :)

Bella got it. :)

How long was I gone? I posted it, went to have dinner, came back, and 24 posts! Holy crap!

Okay, going to look at Ohso's riddle now.

Okay, another one. This one's easy, just use logic.

A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him, yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible?

The horse is ten foot long?

One especially for WG.

The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?


"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honour got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

The above passage is taken from the book "Gatsby" written by Ernest Vincent Wright in the late 1930's

No Kit. :p

Again, use logic. There's nothing mystical about this. The horse is a normal horse, the rope is a normal rope, the hay is an average everyday bail of hay.

So what makes sense?

Read it again. :)

No. Everything in the riddle is true. The length of the rope ,10 feet and the distance of the hay, 25 feet are accurate

Ordinary horse, ordinary rope, ordinary hay, rope 10 feet long, hay 25 feet away. The rope is tied to the horse. How is he eating the hay?

It's really simple. Don't over think it. Go with the simple solution. Remember, the rope is tied to the horse. Hint, hint.

Gosh... Okay " old one here.. "A man rides his horse to town, yet he walks".. . Easy

Now try the Gatsby one. That one made me mad. I was looking for grammatical errors (not qualified but looked anyway, couldn't find any), or spelling (qualified but found none), and everything else I could think of. I even started to question whether the story was accurate, but that wasn't it.

When I finally figured it out I wanted to smack my head on a desk. So simple, but something I didn't look at until 2 days after I heard the riddle.

If you don't get it by tonight, I'll tell you. I'm hoping WG will take a look, see if she figures it out. :)

Again, it's simple.

Want a hint or do you want to mull it over for a bit first?
