He realized that the dear was already dead. (Hey, at least it answers Perfection's question! ;))

He put it diagonally in a 35cm x 35cm x 100cm box.

I didnt think anyone would get it that quickly!

He was a statistician and said

"On average , we got it"
 
CC: Nope!

But technically, it's wrong. He still brought the sword, which is still 111 cm, which is still too long. It doesn't make a difference that it is in a box; even if the people who check the things brought aboard didn't notice it, he's still breaking the rule. But oh well, I guess riddles can "cheat" like that. ;)

Damn, when?

Not sure. Mebbe a dozen or so pages back. Mebbe more. :)
Don't feel bad. You'd have to pretty much read through the whole thread to find it.
 
Ok, time to get some new ones in here.

I am only useful
When I am full,
Yet I am always
Full of holes.

If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.

When young, I am sweet in the sun.
When middle-aged, I make you act differently.
When old, I am valued more than ever.


Lets see if they last more than 3 minutes :)

EDIT: actually I think that first one may have already been posted but I am too lazy to look.
 
I guess I'll start posting em again.
Easy ones, to begin with.

What is red and blue, and purple and green? No one can reach it, not even the queen? (pick a queen, any queen. doesn't matter in this riddle.)

What's the difference between gossip and a mirror?

I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. What am I?

Not sure, last one may have been posted, but I doubt it.
