yeah, well... i mean, i'm smart at some subjects. like english. and spanish. but those are the only honors classes i'm taking, and idk how well i'll do in them. lol. ;D i'm not so good at, say, math or science or history...


message 55: by Laina (new)

Laina (laineyru) haha! yes, Mr. Grimm. I thought I got out of having him this year, but for some odd reason he's taking over Algebra II. I'm not happy. I'll have him for physical science, too. *grimaces* I am excited for spanish this year! three people in my family speak spanish fluently, and they're always speaking when they're together. I have a brother who speaks french, too. : ) He learned it in Africa...

Yes, three strikes and you're out is correct. :-)

Hey that's what I said before, Kenzie! Except I didn't say it exactly like that...ah well. XD So anyways...here's my riddle:

There is a set of green doors. Only certain things can go through these doors. Here are some examples. A mirror can go through the doors, but a sink can't. A puppy can go through the doors, but a dog can't. A kitten can go through the doors, but a cat can't. A toddler can go through the doors, but a child can't. A room can go through the doors, but a lamp can't. A wall can go through the doors, but a bed can't. The floor can go through the doors, but a desk can't. A book can go through the doors, but a shelf can't. A person can't go through the doors, but a foot can. Yellow can go through the doors, but purple can't. A television can't go through the doors, but a screen can. A llama can go through the doors, but a hare can't. A bunny can go through the doors, but a mother can't. A rabbit can go through the doors, but a fox can't. Neither a tiger nor a lion can go through the doors, but both a tree and some grass can.

What is the rule for things that can and can't go through the green doors?


message 63: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
oh i think i know! is it that the thing has to have, like, a double letter in it... ex: the mirror can go through the door cuz it has two rs in the middle, but the sink can't cuz it doesn't have any double letters.
i probably explained that really badly. XD


message 64: by Sella, ov vey! i haven't checked this group in months. >< (new)

Sella Malin | 4530 comments Mod
whoa! good job! you're right! XD yeah, the word has to have double letters somewhere in it. XD


message 65: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
OOH YAH!!! wow i feel so smart now. lol. XD


message 66: by Laina (new)

Laina (laineyru) k... so if you kept just like the first part of that riddle with just th sink and the mirros, this could be an alternate answer:

because green wants to see itself. so it can't get jealous of the mirror, but it would get jealous of the pearly sink. hehe is that just dorky or dumb?? haha... strangely, i like it, even if it makes very little sense!


message 67: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
hahaha. funny. XD

AAAAH!!! (that was a happy scream, btw. lol.) :D ah ha ha sounds like a pretty awesome hallucination.


message 71: by [deleted user] (new)

Veronica (v_a_b) | 2889 comments Mod
okay, here's a riddle:

Two fathers and two sons went fishing. Each one caught a fish. They took three fish home.
How is this possible?
And by the way, no, they didn't eat any of the fish, nor did a dog or other animal eat it. They also did not lose the fish on the way home. Nobody let their fish go back into the water either.


I had to be specific, because people have come up with wrong answers that acually made sense before. So, have fun with the riddle!


message 73: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
oh wait i think i know the answer... uh it's been a long time since i've heard it...
oh right. it's like... it was a kid, his father, and his grandpa. so the father counts as both a father and a son because the grandpa is his father. right? XD


message 74: by Veronica, What the neck!? (new)

Veronica (v_a_b) | 2889 comments Mod
yep! good job!


message 75: by Laina (new)

Laina (laineyru) woahhh! that is sooo cool! sorry... my friend and I were just talking about riddles because she has to find some for the school newspaper... *scribbles riddle and answer down*


message 76: by Veronica, What the neck!? (new)

Veronica (v_a_b) | 2889 comments Mod
lol. I'm sad and happy at the same time because what you said made me laugh but I just killed off a character.


message 77: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
i hate doing that. killing off characters, i mean. so AGONIZING. makes me cry. okay maybe i only did it like once but still.


message 78: by Laina (new)

Laina (laineyru) ouch... I'm sorry about the character thing. Just look at the bigger picture. Just like in life, everything in a story happens for a reason. : )


message 79: by Veronica, What the neck!? (new)

Veronica (v_a_b) | 2889 comments Mod
Yeah, I know. She wasn't even fully dead, because she basically is the grim reaper...hence the name that I decided to give the story:Grim

Plus all the stuff that happens before is kind of grim too, so it really fits in with the title.

But I'm afraid that the ending might be crappy...


message 80: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
haha. that kinda reminds me of the first chapter of soul stealer... u know when the guy's like, 'whoaaa, are you the grim reaper?' and eva's like, 'uh suuure, kind of'. lol


message 81: by Veronica, What the neck!? (new)

Veronica (v_a_b) | 2889 comments Mod
lol...the part where Angela was talking to the woman at the desk was sort of a combination of pretty much all the stories that I've read that have a scene like that, as well as my own ideas.

And, you said in your comment that it reminded you of soul stealer and the morte...it reminded me of those stories too, honestly. Well, not completely, but a little bit.


message 82: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
yeah a little bit XD


message 83: by Lela (new)

Lela | 128 comments Hey, I've got a riddle.

A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a gun and points it at the man. Then, the man says thank you and leaves the bar (without his water). Why?

P.S. No, it was not a water gun. XD

Veronica (v_a_b) | 2889 comments Mod
This was already posted in the other riddle discussion...


message 85: by Laina (new)

Laina (laineyru) hah it was! i love this riddle, though!


message 86: by Lela (new)

Lela | 128 comments ah shux...too bad.

XP-[--<

I must be a cat, I've died three times tonight. That means I have six more lives left...


message 90: by Lela (new)

Lela | 128 comments What??? What happened?


message 91: by Kenzie (new)

Kenzie | 2838 comments Alright everyone, I have a new riddle.

What starts with an E, ends with an E, and usually contains a letter?


message 92: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
an envelope?


message 93: by Riley (new)

Riley (booksarecool) E. the letter e works too, but Bridgid's is better.


message 94: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
uhhhh i don't get it. is it like a trick question??


message 95: by Riley (new)

Riley (booksarecool) well, envelope starts with E, ends with E, and has a LETTER in it. Yeah, you were right.
The letter E also works. It starts with E ends with E, and it contains the letter E.


message 96: by Riley (new)

Riley (booksarecool) RIDDLE


What has roots as nobody sees
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes
And yet never grows?



message 97: by Veronica, What the neck!? (new)

Veronica (v_a_b) | 2889 comments Mod
Umm, a skyscraper?

Or a baloon?


message 98: by Riley (new)

Riley (booksarecool) Nope. It has roots, and I think the point is that it's not man-made. That's pretty much the nature thing.


message 99: by Kenzie (new)

Kenzie | 2838 comments It's not E, Riley. It's envelope. It USUALLY contains a letter. The letter E is always a letter.

A mountain? Although, that doesn't really have roots...


message 100: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 5857 comments Mod
ummmm a family tree?? or would that be considered "man-made". XD
or like words maybe, cuz they have like latin roots or whatever. no that doesn't really make any sense. never mind.
