Riddle Me This, Batman

[sodamntired]

A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie." Is he telling you the truth or is he lying?

[Hyphnip]

usually when men walk up to me, all they say is "can you help me find my lost puppy? I think I saw him jump into the back of that van in that dark alley"

and I fall for it every time!

To know who I am

is to know I'm real

To delusional men

I'm not a big deal

 

Experienced by all

Known only in part

By all involved

Of which I am a part.

 

To know who I am

you need your senses

A bitch to he

Who denies my presence.

 

To know who I am

One mustn't stall

To know who I am

For he who does

Knows not at all

The pain I'll cause

To he who breaks

My first law.

 

To know who I am

One cannot lie

For I am the one

You must identify

To know who I am

 

 

Who am I?

[ToadMan]

A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie." Is he telling you the truth or is he lying?

He's lying on account of the fact that the logical converse of "Everything I say is a lie" isn't "Everything I say is true" but rather "Some of the things I say are a lie". Hence the contradiction this calls on, that if he is lying then the converse cannot be true either is mitigated, and both statements are correct.

 

That's my theory anyway.

What is larger than the universe,

More evil than the devil,

Poor people have lots of it,

Rich people need it,

And if you eat it, you will die?

 

We have a bunch of riddle/mystery/brain teaser books around the house so I'll probably be able to get a few more...

Nothing? Yeah it's nothing.

 

My original answer was going to be a "time sandwich". Didn't apply to everything, though

[Prometheon]

What can run but never walks?

Has a mouth but never talks?

Has a bed but never sleeps?

Has a head but never weeps?

 

Edit: and Shade, is it God? I kept thinking that that was too obvious, but the whole "you must know every part" thing makes sense if you think of God as the Holy Trinity (Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit).

Which riddle are you referring to?

 

 

 

Azalroth is right, although I prefer the word "existence".

[bishopx]

This is a good one Owen...A river?

[Prometheon]

Heh srry rabbit. I was referring to yours. I guess I wasn't paying much attention to user names.

 

Charles: A river is correct! Here's another one (a personal favourite):

 

Though I have no color

I am sometimes white

And you can't avoid me

Though try as you might

I'm useful for hiding things

No one can see

And rarely, if ever

Does good come from me.

 

What am I?

[bishopx]

That would be a Lie sir.

[Prometheon]

Damn son. You're on a roll.

[bishopx]

Lay em on me!!! I love riddles.

[Sparq]

Google makes riddles easy.

[bishopx]

A strong imagination makes them easier.

[Azalroth]

I'm gonna go with the Sparq on this one

[bishopx]

The two I solved so far were easy enough. I'd rather use my brain than cheat.

 

What do you always have plenty of that always runs out?

You learn to tell it, but it doesn't listen

Sometimes it's on your side, sometimes you work against it

Time?

 

What comes at night without being fetched

And is gone at day without being stolen?

[bishopx]

You got it

 

The moon

[Prometheon]

Nope. The moon is out during the day quite a bit. But good answer.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

dreams?

 

eight

[dancing_invisible]

I'm thinking... Stars?

[Prometheon]

All good answers. I was thinking sleep, but some of your answers (like stars) are actually better, so I give it to you guys.
