Wow, some one called me smart, that's a first. Come on, does anyone have any other riddles? Here's one... If a rooster lays an egg on a roof like this /\ which way will it roll down? (this is an old one.)

You post that riddle? With that avatar?

 

Anyway the answer is Time.

 

It is one of Gollum's riddles for Bilbo in "The Hobbit".

ok ill try to remember

 

this has roots that nobody sees

is taller than trees

up, up, it goes

and yet never grows

 

 

voiceless it crys

wingless it flutters

toothless it bites

mouthless it mutters

 

 

it cannot be seen

cannot be felt

cannot be heard

cannot be smelt

it lies behind stars

and under hills

and empty holes it fills

it comes first

and follows after

ends life

kills laughter
