I came across this self-described "World's Hardest Riddle" today:
I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?
Naturally, being a curious guy, I thought about it for a minute and then googled it. There were some good-sounding answers, like "time" or "pressure", but this was my favorite answer:
the ANSWER MUST BE PONIES, IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT FITS
Everyone knows that ponies paint the polar bears white
Ponies make you cry if they stand on you
Ponies make boys have to pee after they have gone for a long ride
Ponies make girls comb their hair because when they were little they had my little ponies and they would always comb their hair, so now they just comb their own hair
Ponies make celebrities look stupid when they fall on them
Normal people look like celebrities when they ride round on ponies in downtown LA, coz only a celebrity would have a pony in downtown LA
Ponies make pancakes turn brown because they dont like them green
Ponies make champagne bubble by the complex process of carbonation (please refer to wikipedia for more details)
If you squeeze a pony with two bulldozers, it will pop
If you look at a pony the wrong way, they will sit on you, and make you pop.
My best guess is that the answer to the riddle is "no".

What's green, hangs on the wall, and whistles?
ReplyDeleteA flounder.
You object?
- It's green if you paint it green.
- It hangs on the wall if you nail it there.
- Yeah, okay, whistling... I stuck that in to throw you off.
