Riddles II

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ Yaniv: Nope, nope,

 

[CrackedCrystal]

Well, I think the Chuk riddle has something to do with the term "bodice-ripper". I mean, who uses that phrase in real life?

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ CrackedCrystal: No one, methinks. But it doesn't matter, either .

Chuck, a bestselling author ... and asked Chuck whether he wanted some coffee...

Chuck never drank coffee, but her lover did?

Well, I looked up the answer to the Chuck riddle, and I don't really like it, since it isn't included in the actual riddle, AFAIK, and so it's more of a guess-all-the-possiblities riddle.

Now I'll see if anyone can get the answer (without cheating, of course).

A path?

A volcano!





Edit: And a riddle of my own: A house with two occupants, sometimes one, rarely three. Break the walls, eat the boarders, then throw away me. What am I?

That is what I am starting to believe. Its probably something that the riddle does not point to like... her shoes are on backwards. It never mentioned anything about shoes or even pointed to them.

I know, isn't this exciting?

Just for fun, I'll say some answers, pretending that I don't know the real answer (yes, I'm bored):

1. Eva accidentaly called Chuck Richard.

2. When Eva asked Chuck if he wanted any coffee, she accidentaly said, "Oh, by the way, I had sex with your mechanic today.... Aw, crap!"

That's the kind of creativity we need

Howsabout some new ones?

I say everything I hear to others around.
I'm not an animal, nor part of the human race.
I will, immediately, repeat after you;
But only if my tail is in place.
What am I?

I don't have eyes,
But once I did see.
Once I had thoughts,
But now I'm white and empty.
What am I?

Soldiers line up spaced with pride,
Two long rows lined side by side.
One sole unit can decide,
If the rows will unite or divide.
Tell me, tell me, scream it out.
What am I?

Yep, that'd be funny if it really were the answer to the riddle...

Microphone or "I can't think of the name right now but that thing you talk into and it amplifies your voice". What police use in hostage situations.

EDIT: BAH! WillJ beat me

What's the go here? Does someone look up and write down a riddle then it's a race to see who can look up the answer the quickest?? It's not fair... i don't know the site!!

and I was really impressed with how quick some people get the answers

Yeah, that's about right. Usually though I don't look up answers (and if I do, I don't post them, and just see if someone else gets them). However, I admit that I've looked it up and answered occasionally... Sometimes a riddle is quickly answered because the answerer heard the riddle before.

I am sure there are a few people who do. But the majority that look up the answers don't post them. At least I hope they are not, I don't. Ususally a riddle will only be unsolved about 30 minutes, but some can go on for days... *cough* train *cough*

That's what I am thinking of! I couldn't think of the word. Thanks.

Chuck, a bestselling author of romantic fiction, had suspected for some time that his wife Eva was unfaithful, though he had no proof. One afternoon, while Chuck was working on his latest bodice-ripper, Eva mentioned that she intended to go to the movies and would be out for a few hours. As Eva went to the door, Chuck looked at her pensively, then resumed his work. Three hours later, Eva returned, took her coat off and asked Chuck weather he wanted some coffee. When she returned from the kitchen, Chuck asked her to sit down as he wanted to talk to her.
"Eva," he said, "I want a divorce."
Can you figure out how he knew?

The buttons on her shirt/dress were mismatched when they should have been matched? matched when they should have been mismatched?

How does one go about looking something like this up????
Sorry the suspense is killing me!

Even with the internet its obscure - I put :chuck affair movie riddle coat bestseller into google and got a load of dictionary links and some dodgy "bodice-ripper" ones.

Edit: found it, glad I didnt wait until someone worked it out.

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ WillJ: on both
@ CrackedCrystal:

However, I admit that I've looked it up and answered occasionally...

For shame!

@ nihilistic: nope
@ Rout:

Eva had unknowingly divorced Chuck before going to the movies... then went to the movies with him, before re-marrying him just before she got home, therefore technically doing the dirty on Chuck with Chuck, therefore Chuck knew all about it before she even took her coat off...
