    I'm not sure about trangers being a word, but hey, it's a guess. :bad:

    Chev, it has to be a 9 letter word... Grants is not 9 letters long.

    That would work, kuemp, if trangers was a word :(

    Another clue, for the less patient: has "ING" as a suffix.

    Right, except I was thinking that second word is starting, not starling, but close enough (and its a word, so it doesn't matter) :D Go ahead.


    Uh, Schmee, Its an epiphany.

    For lack of a better riddle, I'll just use a classic reference:

    What has one voice, and is four-footed, two-footed and three-footed?

    Extra kudos if you can name the reference.

    Sorry for the late confirmation. Blame my illness. Gawain is right with 2, so he get's the Maglight flashlight. Please don't eat it. ;)

    People - you don't post a riddle until you correctly answer the last one or properly invoke the IJ rule.

    Something dead, carrying living things??? Prehaps something made out of wood which was once alive but after being cut is dead? Prehaps a wooden cart carrying live animals or people?
