    Heh. Easy 'cos I've just been doing the washing up. :shake:

    If you break me
    I do not stop working,
    If you touch me
    I may be snared,
    If you lose me
    Nothing will matter.

    Wheee. First day back and I already solved a riddle. Helps that I've learned a lot about love these past months. *AHEM* Anyway...

    A man dies of thirst in his own home. How is this possible? All of his utility bills have been paid up to date.

    i'm guessing it's a sentence answer? how's this: the water may be coming, but it's not clean so he can't drink it? :/

    Ah, the recent holiday may put me in good stead.

    The man's home is a vehicle of some description, and he is somewhere where there is no drinking water available.
    (Campervan in the desert, Houseboat at Sea, Spaceship)

    Or maybe it's ala Stephen King's "Geralds Game"

    Doesn't realy sound like a true riddle to me, there are an infinite amount of answers that could theoreticaly be correct. (It would sound more like a riddle without the last sentence)

    For example:

    He has no mouth.

    His rather large brother Bill turned the knob on the tap so hard that the man couldn't turn it back.

    The man is an idiot, he could have gone out and gotten water at any time.

    I think I think i've heard something like it before...
    And I think it actually has an easy answer, The kind that a five year old would answer correctly straight away. Although i might be thinking of something completely different..

    It would have more of a riddle of it said there was water all around him. Then it would have a definite answer as well.

    IJA as I'm reasonably sure I'm correct.

    Here's mine:

    Why does a mouse when it spins?


    Oh, and another one I don't know the answer to, does anyone have any ideas?

    A Bear walks into a barbers shop
    Oompf says the bear, no soap
    He dies and she marries the barber
    Who was she?

    My Dad used to plague me with it as a child until I realised he didn't know the answer either.

    Exactly, that's why it's a riddle.
    It's a fairly old one, and one you either know or don't. I was betting on either you or Mags.
