Hehehe...I'll put it this way: I'm surprised Jon didn't use something like this when he was creating all the hype leading up to the new site...or did he?:think:

Edit: Damn, I really gotta learn to read through everything. Great job getting this one.

Now, I wonder if I can come up with another before I head to work--I've just about exhausted my supply.

Crap, I think we broke Jon... lol

Sadly, these aren't the best in my repertoire. But it's all I got left. Enjoy!


He stands beside the road in a purple cap and tattered green cloak. Those who touch him, curse him.

Cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind the stars and beneath the hills. Ends life and kills laughter.

Old Mother Twitchett had but one eye, and a long tail which she let fly; and every time she went through a gap, a bit of her tail she left in a trap.

Brothers or sisters have I none, but that mans father is my fathers son. Who is that man?

What's the difference between a penniless man and a feather bed?

Two brothers we are, great burdens we bear, all day we are bitterly pressed; Yet this I will say - we are full all the day, and empty when we go to rest.

White bird, featherless, flyin' out o' paradise, flyin' over sea and land, dyin' in my hand.

Who is it that rows quickly with four oars but never comes out from under his own roof?

So he puts a white hat on all 3 princes' heads. All 3 princes raise their hands.

After a while, one prince says 'my hat is white'

How did he work it out?

Im pretty sure it has something to do with everyones hand is up. So he deduces that all hats are white. But I really can't reason why. It keeps getting stuck in my head.

Luke, may be poison ivy, because poison oak is red ( I have a nice patch in the back yard right now...)
