Wow, page 23! Since when did this thread become so popular?

There are seven flies in the kitchen, which one is the cowboy?

A dozen Royals gathered round, Entertained by two who clowned.
Each King there had servants ten, Though none of them were also men.
The lowest servant sometimes might, Defeat the King in a fair fight.
A weapon stout, a priceless jewel, The beat of life, a farmer's tool.
What are we talking about here?

I am just two and two. I am hot. I am cold. I am the parent of numbers that cannot be told. I am a gift beyond measure, a matter of course. I am given with pleasure when taken by force.
What am I?

I'll ask two riddles before I go to bed:

1) A game show has three contestants, and the total amount of points the contestants have cannot exceed 25,000. One contestant has 18,300 points and another has 8,500 points. How can this be possible?

2) What state (in the USA) is round at the ends and high in the middle?

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

2. Ohio.

I haven't seen the answer to this one, so here it is:

You can count up to 999 (nine-hundred ninety-nine).
After this, you reach 1000 (one thousAnd, and the first "a" encountered up to this point.

@D&G, K-Man. . . That's what I'm looking for.


Another one:

A "Wise King" devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess hand in marriage.
The Princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess hand would be the winner and become the new King.
The rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles etc).
One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King. How did he figure it out?

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ turner: he told her to walk over to him and touch his hand.

 

[Turner]

Doh! Gotta find some harder ones. . . how about this one. BTW: D&G

One morning a man is leaving on business trip and finds he left some paperwork at his office. He runs into his office to get it and the night watchman stops him and says, "Sir, don't get on the plane. I had a dream last night that the plane would crash and everyone would die!" The man takes his word and cancells his trip. Sure enough the plane crashes and everyone dies. The next morning the man gives the watchman a $1,000 reward for saving his life and then fires him. Why did he fire the watchman that saved his life?

 

[Perfection]

I can count forever, I just use roman numerals

 

[K-Man]

@Turner:

He is a night watchman, and if he had the dream "last night," he would have been sleeping on the job

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

Duh. He's a NIGHT watchman, and was sleeping on the job .

Any idea on my other two riddles (at the top of this page)?

 

[Turner]

If y'all get this one real quick, I'm going to give up for the night and read my book. . . .

My host thinks I'm an irritation, a bother, a pain. But he can't evict me, so here I will remain. Then one day I'm taken and ranked among my peers. Can you guess just what I am? Then you might call me dear.
