If no one's gonna take it, I suppose I'll go again. I came up with this one last night, though I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't already been done.

I'm much bigger than you are, yet you are always above me. No one has ever seen me or touched me, but everyone knows where I am. What am I?

I suppose that works, but the site I got that from said 'Counterfeit Money', as AK said.

I guess the next one's yours, Quin. I haven't thought of a new one yet.

[Quindiana Jones]

Oh right. Uhh....What word can be written forward, backward or upside down, and can still be read from left to right?

Taken straight from Google, baby. :D

[Momiji]

I know the answer, but I cheated. :p

(Taken straight from Google, baby. :D)

[Aerith's Knight]

"k"?

[Quindiana Jones]

"K" is not a word. ;)

[Rantz]

Any word can still be read from left to right in theory no matter how it is written. :)

[Peegee]

A red lady, lives in a small lane
In the winter she is short; in the summer, long

hint: it's an everyday item

[rubah]

a thermometer!

[Momiji]

Allie, post a riddle too!

[rubah]

I was trying to think of a good one, like make one up.

okay it's kinda dumb, but whatever. I don't feel like googling one.

<del>A femme softly speaks
"I really enjoyed last night, Harold. . ."
He looks up and renders the verdict:

................................................</del>
okay no that was just too dumb. the answer is that's what SHE said though. Someone else can post one.

[Rantz]

Best one so far imo xD

[The Unknown Guru]

Major props if you get this. It's an old Mongol riddle.

Behind the Altai and the Khangai mountains,
There are one hundred thousand horses, they say.
There is a group of seven that flocks together, they say.
There are three that form a file, they say.
There are two that set black and white apart, they say.
There is one left behind, they say.

What do the second and last lines refer to?

[Sir Lancealot]

Racism?

[Quindiana Jones]

Genghis Khan and his matey what he killed!

Yeah, you all know the history. :D

[Værn]

I'm the beginning of the end, and the end of every life,
I come in the heart of illness, or at the tip of a foe's knife.
I can come from mental problems, though I'm not in insanity itself,
Now it where I pull the tricks, you won't find me in great health.

(Easy enough if you read the whole thing XD)

A small, small man, in a red coat,
Staff in hand, stone in throat.

[Quindiana Jones]

I won't find you in great health?

[Værn]

I won't find you in great health?
Aye, that threw you off, didn't it? :rolleyes2

[Quindiana Jones]

Yeah, you little bastard. :D
