Hi,
This is just a bit of fun, but I am going to post a few riddles on here and wait for people to get them correct (what I see as correct anyway) and when people have got all of thos I wil post a few more, ok here goes...

1. It is said among my people that some things are improved by death.
Tell me, what stinks while living, but in death, smells good?

2. What goes through the door without pinching itself?
What sits on the stove without burning itself?
What sits on the table and is not ashamed?

3. A man while looking at a photograph said, "Brothers and sisters have I none. That man's father is my father's son." Who was the person in the photograph?

There you go, enjoy.

Ah well, fair enough then.

I personally thought the same thing, but then thought it'd be a ridiculous answer - I really hate riddles like that.

That was really bad, in my honest opinion.

While well constructed in places, a lot of it didn't scan properly making for a difficult and frustrating read - the opposite of what this should be

Hah.

I doubt it. Look at the wording - the inference is such that it means there are three words with the suffix -gry in the English language. It is unlikely to be that pedantic.

No the answer to the riddle is 'There are not only three words in the English language'.

Obviously he means that there are only three ending in -gry.

But there are not only three words in the English language though.
