Not to be a wet blanket here, but...

John Denver singing makes me cry far worse than looking into the sun.
Light does NOT make me pee.
My SO combs her hair way before the sun pops over the horizon.
Celebrities do not need sunlight to look stupid.
Heat turns pancakes brown.
Light does NOT make Champagne bubble, release of pressure does.

I think sometimes I read too much into riddles and stump myself.

Like one of those pictures you get really close to, then slowly pull away to reveal a picture. Idk, I can just see lines, and they almost look like they form a picture or something...

Hmmm, I can even imagine seeing words now.. maybe not like full actual words, but a collective of hidden lettering or something. Subliminal messaging?? or maybe I just need to go to sleep... lol

I personally think you are staring at it too long. Get some sleep...

If someone looks up the answer to a riddle, let's agree not to post it for the one's racking their brains

And yes, the answer to the girls who killed her sister is indeed hoping that she'd see the guy again at the funeral.
The interesting catch is that that question is actually used in psychoanalyzing people.
For some reason, normal people cannot grasp the concept, but sociopaths get it INSTANTLY!
Tell the riddle at work and be careful accepting rides from the quiet guy who gets the answer.

eek, that's kinda scary

Agreed, with one exception: If a person finds a longer version of a riddle, please post it! (See the 'Twas Muttered posts on the previous page).

good point, although that didn't help me much, I'm still stumped! :(

Okay, really? I mean really people? I was gone for.. idk.. 10 minutes TOPS. I come back and there are like 5 more pages!

What have I done? I've created a monster! lol

That is, according to my sources, the correct answer.

Now, according to me, I like this answer much better. lol

I just thought of a neat idea. How bout someone create a riddle where the answer is "a riddle", but try and make it really hard? I couldn't even make an easy one, so good luck with that. lol

I don't think making a riddle with the answer being "a riddle" would work, least not to post here. Everyone knows that the answer to one of the riddles would be "a riddle" so just guess that on any riddle. ;)

Be cool to see a riddle like that though.

I think you weren't reading into it enough... example the champagne bubbles. yes, it is by carbnation, etc, etc, etc, but in riddlease you could say that it wasn't until the cork popped and light got into the bottle that the bubbles were there... like the dead cat-alive cat in the box thing.
