Lets play a game. I'm going to present a riddle, you get to figure out what it is. If you manage to figure it out you get 1st dibs on the next riddle, but be quick cos they are an impatient bunch on these boards.

Oh and it was Spidey Terez that inspired this new game. I'll start with an easy one

What runs, but has no legs, a mouth, but never talks and a bed, but never sleeps?

This is way too easy...

A river

What is black when you buy it, red when you use it and white when you are done with it?

[frookenhauer]

ooh this is a toughie, but I'm guessing

Spoiler

newspaper at first, but that was a stupid answer that doesn't fit, then I remembered COAL

Okay this is a good one:

You are lost in the forest and can't find your way out. You come to a clearing where two people are standing next to two paths. there is a sign next to them that says:

"One of these men always tells the truth, the other always lies. You have only one question."

What do you ask?

[Mcflury]

Spoiler

you ask "what is my sex?", a quick glance down your pants will tell you the right answer and thus will rule out the liar. If, however, you need to know what way to go in order to get out of the forest, the question would be: "Can you show me what path leads out of this forest and point it out?" The Liar will say "no" and will point out the wrong direction, the non-liar will say "yes" and will point the right direction.

Because I'm not really sure my answer is valid I'm gonna give an easy riddle:

When you say my name, I'm no longer there. What am I?

[frookenhauer]

Oops my crappy memory has let us down, my riddle is impossible...you get two questions...Ignore my riddle, lets do Mcflurries...I'm still not getting it...

[Cougar]

Yes your memory is gone, you needed to add that one path leads to the exit and the other leads to a night in with Terez and the WoT mania database trying to work out who killeded Asmodean

'If I ask the other guy: "what is the path out of the forest" what will his answer be?' then the the opposite path to the one either of them say is the answer.

Oh and the second one is "Silence"

aha! someone with brains...so whats mcflurries one? also it means you get to pose one too

[Cougar]

Silence.

[Stalker]

What are in my pockets?

[Stalker]

Sorry, I had to do a LotR reference in a riddle thread

For real now, a nice and easy warm-up while we wait for Cougar's riddle:

Dies half its life, lives the rest.
Dances without music, breathes without breath
What is it?

[Cougar]

OK I'll tell you a story Bilbo.

When I was young my brother and I used to squabble all the time, the way my mam used to sort us out to stop us battling was to make us both stand on the same sheet of newspaper so we couldn't touch each other. My mum was pretty inventive but how was this possible?

[Cougar]

Cross psot but I suspect 'a Flame' for the other answer.

Could be a tree but actually neither really makes any sense since the measure of the waning of either is disputable and neither breathe in any scientific sense.

@ Cougar,

my only guess, right now, is that the newspaper went under a door. So both can stand on the paper, but there is a door in the way, thus preventing the fighting.

[Stalker]

Also a cross-post and sorry Cougar, not what I am looking for.

However, I could see Flame working in part.

Correct!

Chck my edit to my post.

Your riddle is teh fail.

[Stalker]

You are also correct, Tree is what I was looking for.
and it does make sense, sort of. People say trees breath/ dance with the wind running through.

Or is that just a expression where I live?

Ok I guess I get next, so this one threw me way off first time I heard it. Hopefully nobody knows it

There is a dead man in the middle of a desert. He is almost completely nude and holds in his hand a broken match.
What happened?
