My favorite chapter in The Hobbit is the riddle-duel between Gollum and Bilbo. I thought it might be fun to have a riddle thread. Place your own poser here, without the answer. The next person answers the riddle, in spoiler tags, and then posts a riddle of their own. If your riddle hasn't been answered within 24 hours, then go ahead and edit your post with the answer in spoiler tags, and then the thread is open to anyone else who would like to post a riddle.
To start things off: If you feed me I live, if you give me a drink, I die. What am I? This post has been edited by Pyxis: Jun 20 2008, 11:52 PM |

As we seem to be without the next riddle, here's one:
I'm where yesterday follows today, and tomorrow's in the middle. What am I? -------------------- March's Book Nook: The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge/Skellig by David Almond "THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED!" roared Black. "DIED RATHER THAN BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS, AS WE WOULD HAVE DONE FOR YOU!" |
