The riddle game! here's how it goes.  One person starts with a riddle.  The
first person to guess the answer to the riddle gets to make up the next one.
It can be one that you made up or just one that you've herd.  You can ask yes
or no and only yes or no questions<unless stated by the person who's riddle
it is>. I'll start with a really easy one

How far can you walk into the woods?

69 responses total.

Halfway.  Then you're walking out of the woods.

that sounds good to me...

yes! your turn bruin

This occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in an eternity.
What is it?

the letter "m"

Correctamundo, asp.  The letter "m" appears once in the word "minute", twice
in the word "moment", and not at all in the word "eternity."

Let's see if you can come up with a good riddle now, asp!

<this is what we call "fast turnover">

my friend's favorite riddle is (sorry this is the only one I can think of
right now)
Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

because he lost his balance

nope, sillier than that

because he's to fat

hmm... maybe a clue is in order... 
It's something INCREDIBLY dumb...
If no one gets it soon, I'll just come up with a more figure-outable one
I guess...

because ge slipped on a banana peel

nope... 

i forgot my password hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

because a snake bit him,

because he's to dumb,

because he saw a cute female monkey on the ground, 

because gravity reversed.. I DON'T KNOW

must come up with a figure-outable riddle... give me a momentor else I'll
let kain tell one, he sounds really really frustrated by this one...
(by the way, the answer is...

Because he was dead.
=) (a little dark, but that is how my friend is)

ok, there are three ants walking in a row, the first ant says, there's two
ants behind me.  The second ant says there's one ant behind me.  The third
ant says there's two ants behind me.  What did the third ant do?

turned around.

and learned how to talk

nope, hint it's kindof silly

gave birth?  began hallucinating?  had imaginary friends?  

<orin can do the next one since this is so stupid an dnobody's ever going to
get it, I'll do a good one next time, PROMISE. BEgan halucinating is about
as close as yourgoing to get, 
he lied.>

somebody hit him....

<kain hits himself>

q

howbout a good riddle!?
A guy walks into a bar.  He asks the bartender for a glass of water. the
bartender pulls  out a gun and holds it to the man's head.  The man says
"thank you" and walks out.  Why?

RE #28 He had held up the bar the night before.

nope

This is an alternate universe in which "glass of water" means
"gun pointed at my head."

note: this one is not stupid it actually has a logical answer
re#31 nope

<orinoco likes md's version better, but it doesn't q work>

<make that "quite">

I've got a good one...  A man dies and finds himself faced with a descision.
He suddenly appears in a room with two doors.  One door leads to heaven, one
door leads to hell.  He doesn't know which door is which.  By each of the two
doors stands a guard.  One guard ALWAYS tells the truth, one guard ALWAYS
lies.  He doesn't know which is which.  He is only alowed ONE question to ask
which door is which(p.s., the object is to get to heaven).  What does he ask
the guards(or guard) to decide which door is which?

matt

imposible unless you know that the one that tells the truth is standing in
front of heaven

true...

the answer is not impossible, just very clever.

in that case I'm stuck
