One riddle at a time, please. Winner writes the next, and so on.

RIDDLE ME THIS...

I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?

Unfortunately, that is not the correct answer. Think simpler.

But it was a great guess.

Time.
"Can you guess the riddle?" I hope this isn't a yes-no answer riddle

Time is incorrect.

Yeah Vish, I'm going to cut to the chase. You were right. The correct answer is "No, I don't know"

Are you sure?

I am positive. It said it quite blatantly.

I knew I'd heard that one before. Someone sent it out on an email.

Riddle -
This house holds rooms, one score and six,
That shelter a vast mob.
It lets lions lie down with the lambs,
Yet makes both shun the slob.

None now will nestle with nicks and nates,
While reams room near the rear.
Though you and I have separate rooms
Both our bottles brim with beer.

The king and queen can never mate
(Though hands and hearts hobnob)
Because their rooms are separate
If this jail does its job.

What house is this that rules thus
Forcing faith to fend with fear?
The answer to this riddle lies
With dead and dying here.

I know it's something about the alphabet. 26 cells? I doubt that is a coincidence.

Your answer is a hint in itself. Not the cells part.

A dictionary!

Dictionary is the right answer.

Magdalena, since you are the 'winner', you should post the next riddle.

*nods* I need to think of a good one. Hold on...

Okay, so for lack of a good riddle, here's one I found online:

What gets whiter the dirtier it gets?

A blackboard?

Yayyy... that was a bad one, I know. Too tired...

1.What is it that has an end but no beginning?
2.A home but no family.
3.A space without room.
4.It never speaks, but there is no word it cannot make.

Space?

It has no famuily - doesn't speak - a vast space not a room - no end - the universe is it's home

Darkness.

that's good

Space has no end. It is present everywhere.
Darkness and Space, both cannot make words.

Think of a household item.

a light lol

a cuboard?

sink....

oh god - i'm logging out

that wasn't an answer

Think!

Don't post multiple times. -_-*

I have no clue. My brain is dead now.

Keyboard?

Keyboard is the Right Answer

You, a traveler, come across the quaint little village of Crispville. There are only two barbers in town: Barber A and Barber B.

Barber A's barber shop is in pristine condition. The flooring gleams as if freshly swept, the scissors and razors and combs are all neatly alogned in their own proper place, with neither a blade nor a tooth out of place. Barber A himself is a vision of perfection, from his neatly ironed shirt to his nicely trimmed hair to his shining white teeth.

On the other hand, Barber B's shop is a mess--hair all over the floor, worn tools and broken combs, shoddy seats and grimy mirrors. Barber B is the epitome of untidiness, reflecting his workspace: his hair is a mess, sloppily trimmed and hastily styled, his clothes comfortable, yet unprofessional. Why, even his teeth are crooked and yellow. Obviously this man will not be winning any most-well-looked-after awards in the near future.

Yet, as you chitchat idly with passerby, one barber stands out as the clear winner. Almost every resident you speak to has a certain barber in mind. Both have had the same degree of training, but which one was the most preferred in Crispville, and why?

B's. If its messier, more people go there. Same thing for the stuff about worn tools and combs. And if barber B has a bad haircut, its the other barber's fault.

I second Rudyards

Yay! The second part is right--a barber can keep his shop clean, even if a bunch of people come by. But barber A has to get his hair cut somewhere.

How are a Raven and a writing desk the same?

are*

I thought that, but 'is' sounded better for some reason. Maybe I was just tired.

Rudyards wrote: "How are a Raven and a writing desk the same?"

*How is a raven like a writing desk?

There's no answer. At least, none that Lewis Carrol meant to be.

Man, I really must have been tired when I wrote that. I botched that riddle.

I've heard two possible answers however. Just guess for those.

Rudyards wrote: "I thought that, but 'is' sounded better for some reason. Maybe I was just tired."

Just realized that 'is' was right, if you went with the riddle I posted. You knew what to write, but it didn't come out right. :D

Answer- something to do with feathers and quills?

Both have quills is correct. There is a second possible answer if anyone wants to guess.

I don't understand. Can you explain the quills part? It was just a guess.
