    The letter 'r'?

    Edit:

    Daephon says I am correct, this is my riddle:

    Whilst I was engaged in sitting
    I spied the dead carrying the living.

    A Raft? You know, dead wood carrying live people, one of which is sitting on the raft...

    A car? Some sort of vehicle?

    It could be the moon or sun. Because they "sit" in the sky and the earth ain't living (unless you live in FF VII) and we live on the earth!
    If I'm right say I'm right and if I'm wrong please say I'm right (this ain't a riddle)

    But a ship is the correct answer, well 8people, post the next one...

    Sjeez I told you to think bigger!

    With your line of thinking, even a group of molecules would suffice.

    Baezlebub might have had a point, meaning that a raft might have been a correct answer. I won't however comment on how the point was stated (beside the fact that trying multiple answers in one post is not fairplay IHMO :rolleyes: ).
    IMO however the final judgment lies in the hands of the original poster of the riddle and protests just seem to delay the game.
    Speaking of which, let's hear 8people! ;)

    I have one foot but not a leg
    I have a shell but am not an egg

    A puppy dog tail!!! (ok so it doesnt' fit with the ever-eating mouth bit but what can i say? snails would be my first guess)
    or maybe a worm?

    I get the feeling "Fear" would fit, but that's doubtfully right.

    Oh yes, btw, if I get it right, just let someone else do it.

    Hey, we have all (hopefully) read the hobbit. Gollum doesn't get penalised for guessing more than once at the end. I am merely following the ancient rules of riddling. I did say raft as my first guess. And isn't a ship just a big collection of molecules, when we think of it?

    Snail.

    [​IMG] It is indeed snail, but as many people guessed it, I suppose the first should post the riddle. Though you may fight on who may post it :p

    Since I did not propose the answer, I will not post a riddle. I have to ask though: what about the last verse ?

    :confused: :hmm: I just do not get the snailish bit in this.
    But anyway, congrats 8people, very nice riddle indeed. :thumb:
    As an aside, snails rule, folks ! :p And I am nor talking about taste.

    Sugar and spice and everything nice. That's what little girls are made of.

    Snips and snails and puppy dog tails. That's what little boys are made of.

    Thanks a lot BTA. This was news to me, but I have to say I agree with some of it (I'll let you guess which part).

    Sooo, who's next ? Please someone, provide us with some food for the brain. ;)
