Riddles

[DiamondzAndGunz]

Hmm, you're right. I forgot all about that one. I was actually referring to the last set of riddles I posted, though. Still, I'd like to see someone answer the train riddle. Here it is for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about.

Two trains are coming from opposite directions on the same track at the same time. How come they don't collide?

Instead of the trains going like --------> <----------
The're going like <------------------- ----------------->

 

[DaveMcW]

A word riddle:


_________ is a singular noun

_________s is a plural noun

_________ss is a singular noun


What word fills in all three blanks?

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ Perfection: No, they're coming FROM opposite directions. They ARE going like this.
--------> <----------

A person drove up to a hotel. He said to the hotel; "I'm broke, I'm out." Why did he say that?

He must be playing Monopoly.

@ DaveMcW:

Would it be the word "a," A, A's, and A$$?
or "ma," Ma, Ma's, Mass?
Or do you want it to be without an apostrophe?

Prince
Princes
Princess

 

[DaveMcW]

A isn't a word.

Mas is in my dictionary, so I'll accept it.


@CrackedCrystal That's the one I was looking for, there are some other nice solutions too.

 

[CrackedCrystal]

I have an answer for the trains. The one train goes under a bridge that the other train goes over. The tack curves around and crosses itself (like the Christian fish symbol shown below).

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

Wow, you guys sure come up with some creative solutions...

CrackedCrystal: Nope, sorry, still wrong. It's a straight track. Both trains are on the same track. They are going from opposite directions.

----->----------<-----

Here's a couple more, while you think about that one.

With pointed fangs it sits in wait,
With piercing force its doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might,
Eternally joining in a single bite.
What am I?

Thousands lay up gold within this house, but no man made it. Spears past counting guard this house, but no man wards it. What is it?

I am the black child of a white father, a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven.
I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air.

1. Stapler

2. Beehive

3. Soot

#3 was smoke, but that's just about the same thing.
Any idea on the train one?

Here are some more easy ones, in the mean time.

Twigs and spheres and poles and plates, join and bind to reason make.
What am I?

Break it and it is better, immediately set and harder to break again.
What is it?

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?

A World Record

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ CrackedCrystal: Nope
@ KingWilly: on both

 

[CrackedCrystal]

I will give diamondz a break and post one

Some try to hide, some try to cheat, but time will show, we always will meet.
Try as you might, to guess my name, I promise you'll know, when you I do claim.

Who am I?

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ CrackedCrystal: Is it... death?

 

[puglover]

Death?


EDIT: AUGGG! one milisecond too late!

Mr Allen was enjoying a steam bath in his sauna when he was killed. The police came to interview the maid. She said that after preparing dinner, she called for Mr Allen but recieved no answer. She went to the sauna and wiped the steam off the window and saw him lying on the floor. Quickly she knocked down the locked door to come to his aide but found he was already dead. She then ran to the phone and called the police.

After hearing her testomony, she was immediatly arrested. Why?
