Lame kitten king and cool glorious awesomeness bunny riddle – By me ***Now comes the original post*** If it it's ok with all the moderators and other people here, I would like to start a topic concerning riddles, because I like them . You know what really is great? I wanted to start handing out losses to the winner who first posted the correct answer, but, that wouldn't be fair to the mp4 and mp3 players. So I guess I'll just start with an example and an easy riddle of my own making (so there is no way you can cheat via wiki or such) Example: When set loose I fly away, Never so cursed as when I go astray. What am I? The answer is: Money (select with your mouse over it so you can see the answer, I typed it in a spoiler bar, so honest people could still try) Beware though, this is a riddle that is quite well known. Now my own riddle The fatter I am, the longer I live The longer I am, the more I shall give Wind is my sustenance, like air, my food But given to much, and I'll be in a foul, foul mood What am I? I' ll give the answer in a couple of days, or when someone has guessed the right answer. Again, remove this topic if you don't want it. It's just for fun
Braiton Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 The fatter I am, the longer I liveThe longer I am, the more I shall give Wind is my sustenance, like air, my food But given to much, and I'll be in a foul, foul mood Is it by any chance a ' tree ' ?
Grido Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 i was going to say that as well, but i wasnt sure how the wind bit fitted with that answer --Bunny, cos i'm one of 'those' people, the 'to' in 'when given to much' should be 'too', i think so anyway. **Edit. i get what it means now **
Black Scyther Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 That is a cloud , im sure "the more i shall give" it means rain The bad mood is a thunderstorm when the cloud is big enough
Metal Bunny Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Posted April 30, 2008 It's not a tree . And no that is not correct black scyther, i'm sorry Rain is food for clouds . My food is of a different kind. Air does not feed clouds , they just move them around. Very nice try though. A hint, if you want it. It says sustenance first, and that may mean !more! objects. Food for clouds is rain, but that rain has to be able to go up into the sky. I'm not going further into that subject, or else you might guess it to early .
dst Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 I was thinking of more then one thing, but this is the closest one for the moment : flame
No one Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 Is it a plane? Is it a bird? Nooooo! It's SuperBunny!! on topic: I suck at riddles so I have no ideea what could it be
Metal Bunny Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Posted May 1, 2008 dst came closest, for now. The reason why it's not a fire , is because of the last sentence. When there is to much air, the fire goes out, which means the fire is dead, not in a foul mood. This is a big hint and I do expect you to get it right this time If you still don't get it, there is a link between the 2nd and the last sentence. lol

Black Scyther Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 is it a candle? I don't think so because fire consumes flameable materials - air does just fortify its consumption
Metal Bunny Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Posted May 2, 2008 is it a candle? Sorry black scythe, he's right. Fire is just a chemical reaction, but can be seen as all consuming (try breathing near a flame I mean it's still a riddle, so most things were done in a metaphore. If someone doesn't understand how one or more sentences are linked to the candle I'd be happy to explain. If anyone wants I could post another riddle, but remember this was just an easy one (even though it took you 2 days . (according to my standards, which are high... **Edit** Added spoiler bars, in case anyone still wants to guess the correct answer to the riddle.

Metal Bunny Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Posted May 2, 2008 I have another one/two. One of mine and one classical one Some of you may know the classical one, so here it is: The rich need me. The poor have me. If I am to be eaten a lot, Then he in time, shall surely rot. What am I? Here's mine Hear me child for what I am. I am as cold as day and night. I have lived in what I am. Near my kin and we'll give flight. Good luck with this one
Black Scyther Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 seems a little far-fetched, but fair enaugh, its your riddle
Metal Bunny Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Posted May 2, 2008 What? Didn't I tell you they'd get harder? , you can always go for the one I didn't come up with Besides it's on the forum and for a multitude of people, so you can all work together for days to come
thrall Posted May 3, 2008 Report Posted May 3, 2008 for the first rddle: it is love now the second: it is shadow
No one Posted May 3, 2008 Report Posted May 3, 2008 The answer for the first one: nothing. For the second one, I have no ideea From chewett: Spoiler tags on all answers please From No one: first teach me how to do that LE: I found out by myself.
Metal Bunny Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Posted May 4, 2008 LOL @ No one And as for shadow, sadly enough it is not a shadow Go ahead and try again
Metal Bunny Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Posted May 5, 2008 Sorry it's not air as it doesn't flee when you near it.
