Everyone loves a nice riddle, here's one to start us off:

I have rivers but no water,
I have cities but no houses,
I have deserts but no sand,
I have roads but no cars.
What am I?

Winner gets to ask the next one.

I am at the heart of every man;
That is what links men to the beasts.
To ignore me, flesh is reduced,
To embrace me makes men robust.
If I am appeased too often, it is no virtue.
Any gift will please me,
But angry will men be if given stone, wood or air.

What occurs once every minute, twice every moment, but never in an eternity?

[An easy one...]

You make me, you can break me,
you give me, but can't take me.
I don't know you when I see you,
but I promise to return every smile.

Who am I?

What is the easiest way to throw a ball,
have it stop,
and completely reverse direction,
after traveling a short distance?

Bounce it?

Close...
(The ball does this without striking any surfaces.)

Post by **Edge** » Sat Aug 13, 2005 4:56 pm

Throw it straight up.

Post by **Nathan** » Sat Aug 13, 2005 4:56 pm

chuck it straight upwards.

Edge and Nathan are both correct.
(Let's see who posts their riddle first now.)

I'm long overdue for posting a riddle, seems it was my turn a year ago, and I dropped the ball...

My riddle:

It goes up, but at the same time goes down. Up toward the sky, and down toward the ground. It's present tense and past tense too, come for a ride, just me and you.
