Since I put the name of the answer in the riddle itself, I effectively told you all the answer the day I posted it. Hence, I win :D

Frig sake, man, you must have a very sad life to think up that.
But try this! My ultra hard FF7 riddle!
Richest of five
Second to fall
Birth was my death
Who am I?
Simple, but effective.
Thingfish: ... Dude! U r teh win! *Bows down* Wish I could think like that...
*Wild applause to Free_Spirit*
(Since this is only the second post I make with my new signature, I feel that I should explain it now as well. This is yanked right out of a certain EULA. I'm not making fun of anything by cooking it up, it has already been cooked up by Apple. I just copied, pasted and translated. It is 100% authentic. Well... at least 90%. I make no guarantee of a spotless translation, and I added a little something to clarify what software I got it from. Lo and behold.)
Looked more, and I have to say, that the connection between Tantalus and Blank as a son of Tantalus being turned to stone is indeed very interesting. It almost seems to perfect to be a coincident!
Lots of good stuff, definitely, although as I said, there's no point going more complex then this, really. One thing I learnt now is also that it probably won't be viable to use a person as the answer of a riddle anymore, on consideration of how this riddle was finally solved (no offense meant to Free_Spirit). I think I'll try and make a new riddle over christmas, although this time I won't go out of my way to get people to solve it, like I did with this last one I had :rolleyes2 You can expect it to be of a quite different sort than the type of riddle like this last one here, though.
Perhaps, Thingfish, you might even have a crack at solving it yourself, for once ;)
yep. thingfish's turn to guess. he sat back laughing at us (i think) and now it's someones turn to laugh at him (hopefully).
*sigh* sadly I have misplaced the riddle I WAS working on so the one I posted will have to do until I find my cryptic riddle.
This is now off topic and I must report to a moderator like the saint I am:angel:
actually manus, it was me who got him over here so therefore you lose. but sadly, i don't win either.
It's interesting that you think it sad for someone to be intelligent, erudite, intricate, cunning and clever. I wonder how sad your own life must be! Hehe.Quote:

Thingfish, how long did it take you make up this riddle?
Well, maybe he likes making riddles?Quote:

See, that can be said about anything, really everything is a waste of time, but at least he's using the free time he has positively, using his brain and all that. ;) I'm not meaning any offence here, btw. :D
I've not tried to look for the answer for your riddle so no, I don't know the answer :DQuote:

I wouldn't say that was wasted time.

Yes, a couple of hours, although I added a number of extras over the next couple of days before posting it. I did have fun, yes :)
