your own son!

edit: stupid answer

I know...That was easy. I don't have a riddle book handy. Those were ones I remembered from awhile back.

Here's one I made up just a moment ago.

The last one before I go to bed.

I have no substance, but real I be.
I only see you, when you see me.
What am I?

your reflection?

Yep. Too easy huh?

I'm heading to bed before I fall asleep in the chair.

Peace

@riddler: the hot air balloon one is crazy, how the hell are u ever supposed to get it?

Yes, almost impossible.....except if you are the mighty Oz, which MagicNator seems to be !

I'll leave you with an easy one while I revisit the world;

If you were pushed down a flight of stairs, what would you fall against?

And there's no donkeys at the bottom of the stairs waiting to devour you, WeeMouse !!!

Your will.

YEEEAAAH BABY ! Way to go kAb. Now you can have your dessert...........

Don't tell MagicNator about this one, cuz I'll catch shit for it being more of a puzzle than a riddle, but I can't help myself !

A dead man's naked body is lying in the desert.
Nearby is a heap of clothes.
There's a straw in the hand of the dead man.
What happened here ?

ok, it used to be a lake. he went swimming (naked) and drank all the water thru the straw. case closed.

oh btw, can you post the hot air balloon one again? i cant find it, want to try it..

double post.

Well, since no one else put the answer for the balloon one, here goes:

Two men were crossing a desert in a hot air balloon. They ran out of fuel, and the balloon began to descend. If they hit the ground, both of them would have starved, so they decided to lighten the balloon by throwing off some weight. First they threw out all their clothes, but the balloon continued its descent. So they decided that one had to jump off, so that at least one survived. This was decided by drawing a straw, which the dead man was holding.


Have a go at this one, though it&#39;s not terribly difficult (nor is it a riddle ):

Two cars meandered along the winding country road and came to an abrupt stop at the park&#39;s gate. Seven men got out of the two cars and proceeded along a footpath when it began to rain. Six of the men began to walk faster to get out of the rain, but the seventh man couldn&#39;t be bothered. Ironically it was the seventh man who remained dry and the other six got soaked. Since all seven men arrived at their destination together, how was this possible?

why couldnt the seventh man have had an umbrella?

also, the hot air ballon doesnt make sense. how could they have survived just b/c they stayed in the air?? if it is moving sideways, then the man wouldnt even be close to his pile of clothes&#33;

Maybe the ballon was dropping like a rock....straight down.
