    Light does NOT make Champagne bubble, release of pressure does.

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

    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

    damn, that makes sense!


    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!

    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
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    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.

    hoping that if another female relative of hers dies she'll get to meet him again?
