summer and winter?

ooo wait nvm i looked it up haha

What's this then?

a rough draft of mario 3

im lkely to say skunk just cuz it seems like the least likely answer.

but knowing you i have to say neither, cuz they're in complete darkness and there is no light to be reflected for them to see with.

you light the match first

yeah i woulda got that one too... <.< it was one i heard alot in like 4th grade or around that era...

ain't given rep out in awhile, so i'll say three riddles, pick one you'd like to 'solve' post the number, and the answer if you're right i'll rep you.

1. A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

2. How could a cowboy ride into town on Friday, stay two days, and ride out on Friday?

3. A man was found dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard: "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for." Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered and it wasn't a suicide?

ok 2 is solved, can't rep you yet <.< seems everytiem you solve a riddle of mine i've repp'd you too recently.

and only answer 1!!! the point was for me to give out rep <.> shit now i gotta find another

replacement 3. There is a man who has a boat and wants to cross a river. The problem is it can only carry two things at a time, the owner and one more thing. The owner is confused because he has a goat, lion and grass and has to carry them over but does not know what to start with coz if he goes with the lion, the goat eats the grass and if he goes with the grass the goat eats it.How does he go about it?

no you weren't! >.< you're doin it on purpose =/

Actually the answer is none, unless you're a kit, cat, sack or wife.

Ok heres another one lets see who can do this..

When you stop and look, you can always see me. If you try to touch you cannot feel me. I cannot move, but as you near me, I will move away from you. What am I?
