Here's a fun thread. Present a riddle or puzzle for the people of the forum. Anybody can post a riddle. The first person to solve your riddle you must award them +1 Karma.

I'll start out with an easy one.

There's a house. All four sides of the house face south. A bear approaches the house.

What color is the bear's fur?

[Jack]

I suppose it would be white because the house would have to be on the north pole?

Here's one:  how far can a bear (or anything else) run in to the woods?

I remember that one from Young Sherlock Holmes. White, because if all four walls face south it's on the north pole, thus, a polar bear.

Actually I learned it from a Kid's WB show called "The Batman". Which featured a long-haired Riddler that looked EXACTLY like Micheal Jackson. One of his riddles was that one. But he said all four sides facing NORTH. Batman realised that it was a trick question. There ARE no polar bears in Antarctica!

Half-way. After that he/she is running out.

What is in seasons, seconds, centuries and minutes but not in decades, years or days?

What's the difference between a truck load of babies and a truck load of bowling balls?

[indianasmith]

You can't unload bowling balls with a pitchfork!!

Here's a poser:

A prisoner received a visitor one afternoon.  After the guest left, his cellmate said: "Who was that guy, anyway?"
The prisoner answered:
"Brothers and sisters I have none,
but that man's father
was my father's son!"

Who was it?

[RCMerchant]

The prisoner's son.

A father and son get in a car crash. The two are sent to separate hospitals.

The doctor comes in to operate on the son. The doctor refuses to operate saying "I cannot operate on this boy. He's my son!"

Who is the doctor?
