KE's riddle:
is it a splinter/sliver?

 

unless it really is 'nothing', which fits but that's way too often the answer

 

That makes it easier. It's a splinter.

EDIT: oops, somebody answered it already.

 

I heard this one in school...a skelf. Or if you're not Scottish...a splinter

My contribution...

What is in the middle of nowhere?

 

'h'?

(It's worth a shot, okay?)

Take care,

Stalks

 

Dang, too easy

 

Yup

 

Now for my riddle-
I'm like a bottomless barrel, shaped like a hive,
I have flesh inside me and the flesh is alive!
What am I?

 

A toe?

 

no, sorry. It isn't part of the human anatomy

 

A thimble.

 

Tolkien readers should know this one

Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

 

the wind?

 

yea its the wind

A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "that's nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no types of equipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?

 

He stood underneath a bucket of water.

 

well that didnt take long

 

ok, this is boring cos its really famous, but iv got much harder ones so i'll start early.

a man has hung himself in a barn. there is no evidence of how on earth he could have got up there, no ladders etcc...
there is a puddle of water beneath him.

 

He stood on a block of ice to hang his noose over the rafters?
