Riddle me a riddle...

[Stigweard]

I love riddles so I thought I'd see if a riddle thread would endure.

 

RULES:

 

Whoever answers the riddle correctly earns the right to post a new riddle, else of course they can pass and whatever riddle gets posted first becomes the next to solve.

 

 

Riddle #1:

 

What has no eyes, no ears, and no mouth yet always tells the truth?

A very honest biscuit?

 

(or maybe a mirror?)

[Aetherous]

A bullet.

[Stigweard]

(or maybe a mirror?)

 

 

CORRECT !!!! (So soon )

 

Hahahaha...

 

Now your turn apech if you can ....

I entered the mirror before I saw the other entry. Must have mirrored it in my mind.

 

 

Here's a classic sophism:

 

A man from Crete asserts all men from Crete are liars and always tell lies no matter what they say. Is he telling the truth?

Is he telling the truth? No. Some men on Crete are liars.

If he, a man from Crete, is not telling the truth, he's confirming the truth of what he's saying, i.e. he is lying. And what he, a Cretan, is saying is that Cretans don't tell the truth. If it's a lie, then he, a man from Crete who says men from Crete don't tell the truth, is lying. Which confirms the truth of what he is saying about men from Crete. And so on. It's a paradox, see...

If he, a man from Crete, is not telling the truth, he's confirming exactly what he's saying. And what he, a Cretan, is saying is that Cretans don't tell the truth. If it's the truth, then he, a man from Crete who says men from Crete don't tell the truth, is lying. Which confirms the truth of what he is saying about men from Crete. And so on.

Down and out,

Follow a road,

That cannot be spoken of.

 

[Spectrum]

Two riddles which form a phrase.

 

Heart is close on the first part, but not a direct hit.

Without giving it away directly pronounce the phonetic opposite of 'luna'

 

The second part you would feel in the desert wishing for an oasis.

I never was, am always to be,

No one ever saw me, nor ever will,

And yet I am the confidence of all

To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.

What am I?
