    Riddle this!

    Ok i have a riddle i dunno the answer to, Can anybody answer it?? >.<

    There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

    Please! answer it

    a towel.


    A boy goes and buys a fishing pole that is 6' 3" long. As he goes to get on the bus, the bus driver tells him that he can't take anything on the bus longer than 6'.

    The boy goes back to town, buys one more thing, and the bus driver allows him on the bus. What did he buy, and what did he do with it?

    Saw to thing in half? Or a roll'a ducktape to tape the thing near the side of the bus? Or perhaps a large locker, placed the fishing rod in it and decided buying the fish would be easier? :D

    lol that's easy, he puts it in a 6' box and places the fishing pole diagonally in it


    A man who lives on the 10 floor of his apartment goes down the the first floor, leaves for work, comes back and when he gets to the elevator he only goes to the seventh floor and walks the three flights of stairs. Why?

    When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.

    What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?
