This one is easy, but it's quite funny anyway:

Why are 1984 bottles of whisky more valuable than 1977 bottles of whisky?

By the way, the train one is driving me crazy!!!

Even though it isn't a real riddle.

#1 sounds like a spyglass or binoculars (long as it's not on a fancy tripod or track-mount that'd have a pinion ).

#2, steam?

As for the aged whisky - somebody had better make me a good offer on the 7 extra bottles, or they aren't worth a damn thing to me

Of course one thousand nine hundred eighty four bottles of whisky are more valuable than one thousand nine seventy seven bottles.

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

1) Love!

2) The train one: perhaps a very stupid answer, though the question doesn't rule out my answer. The two trains are moving so slowly that they don't collide, but they merge and move as one train.

1977 is a date, i.e the 1977 one is older than the 1984 one?


And the train: could it be a parade or something? (In Norway Train ("tog" in Norwegian) could also mean row...

I'm having a feeling it's not a usual train it's told about...


EDIT: I accidently quoted Elden (I'm used to having the "quote" button and the others at the bottom of the post [from the Europa-Universalis forum...])

@ siegmund:
1:
2: nope

@ ubannoying:


@puglover:
nope

@yaniv:
nope
nope, it's not love, although it probably could be... and love could probably hurt as well..
nope; the trains are moving quickly, at whatever speed you want... they do not merge into one train.

@ saruman:
No, it is just another regular old train. Any type of train that uses rails n all.

I am the fountain from which no one can drink.
For many I am considered a necessary link.
Like gold to all I am sought for,
But my continued death brings wealth for all to want more.

1. Salt
2. Oil
3. The track is a coicle

 

[Civanator]

what is coicle?

Regarding the Train question...

Is it a train of thought. Two people on the same track on a train of thought???

Though the Circular track thoery seems to make sense too. Probably a better answer.

In a previous post, Diamondz said the track is straight. I had an answer that it curved back upon itself and went over a bridge.

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

@ Perfection:
on the first two.
as crackedcrystal mentioned, though, I had already said the track is straight.

@ Kingwilly:
Just a few posts up, I mentioned that it was a regular train. Nothing fancy, no train of thought, no "parade train." Just a train. On railroad tracks, etc.

 

[DiamondzAndGunz]

Some new ones, for your riddling pleasure. They're pretty darn easy, just like the train one, if you really think about it...

My second is performed by my first, and, it is thought, a thief by the marks of my whole might be caught.
What am I?

What is more useful when it is broken?

My first is often at the front door.
My second is found in the cereal family.
My third is what most people want.
My whole is one of the United States
