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.

The answer is: Which gate would your counterpart say leads to Heaven, close enough, well done.

OK, I can't resist just one more:

You ask: "Which gate would the other guardian tell me to go through?"

And use the opposite gate.

Yeah, but to be perfectly honest this topic is getting rather boring now, and I can't be bothered.

*leaves topic to sink down list*

new Riddle...


You arrive at the gate of heaven and hell. Two guardians are here. None of them is seating in front of a particular gate, they are just walking around. One of the gate leads to heaven, the other to hell, and as you might have guessed, you have to find which one. The only thing you know is that one of the guardian is always lying and the other always telling the truth. You can only ask one question to one of them.
