Yes, it's an actual bird, but it doesn't have any allergies to trees.

If you need another hint I'll give you one, but only if you ask.
#262
No, these answers aren't it.

You're thinking a little TOO far out of the box.
#263
I have a new riddle:

Birds are we,
And you can see,
That we find it easy,
To fly a distance free,
But we're never in a tree.

Now you must name me.
#264
Then it turned out to be my first idea but I decided against it.

It's corn.

Obviously the mentality is the pearls being the kernals of corn that are within the husk.

I would like to learn the rest of the mentality however.  I don't know what you meant by "husband's house" and "other girls."

And I think if you decide to do more riddles it may be more fun if you didn't offer a new hint every time someone guesses wrong.
#265
Nice to see that someone else is making riddles now.

I'd say the answer is: a flower.

Flowers are cloaked in green until they open revealing the pollen covered stamens.  Many of them can carry around 800 grains each.  They wait outside of the other flowers (the husbands) and within the flower there is usually a second stamen also with 800 grains of pollen.


QuoteThis is going to become more and more pointless as it devolves into a "Guess a plant" game. Perhaps I can help by saying that the numbers are important?

...Or should I just give the answer?

A bit of advice: NEVER just give the answer while people are still trying to figure out the answer.  Clues are great but if you give up and just give the answer due to people not getting the answer right away it defeats the purpose of the riddle.

If you want to put up another riddle before one is answered, then by all means do so.  It won't hurt anything.

The small feathers used in pillows :-)

YES!  That's the answer!

Well, I'm out for now, but I'll see if I can come up with some other riddles.
#267
This one's turning out better than I expected.  Nope, these aren't the answers either.  Good tries though.
#268
Incorrect on both.

Even if you get the correct answer, however, this time you'll have to explain WHY it's associated with them.  Let's just say, "answers without evidence are useless."
#269
I'm running out of ideas but here's a fast one:

A direction associated with birds.
#270
Yeah, it's a lead, though, technically, you figured out the puzzle.  The correct answer was indeed "Kangaroo."

Other clues in the riddle were this:

In manga, as a response to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, another comic was made: Adolecent Kung-Fu Kangaroos.  The comic didn't last very long but it was there.

The word play is that if you tried to use rhymes with the final words in the first two sentences, you could also get it: Manga rhymes with Kanga, and Fu rhymes with roo.
#271
Nope.  You're not on the right track there.  Word play can be used with manga, but there's a little more to it than that if you want to go a different route.
#272
QuoteWhy are they wrong?
These puzzles are silly.

Because those aren't the answer that the riddle is looking for.  The puzzles may be silly, but riddles are silly.  If you don't like them, don't bother with the thread.

Seriously though, if it was THAT easy, it wouldn't be much of a puzzle.
#273
No it's not that easy.  Both are wrong.
#274
This one requires something different.  There is no hidden word but word play can still be used or just some rather obscure knowledge.

If it were in manga,
It would know kung-fu.
If you don't know what it is,
Think, "I don't understand you."

What is it?
#275
QuoteFAilures adMIre dearLY... FAMILY?

YES!  You got it!

To fully explain the riddle though look at it this way:

It STARTS with the meeting of TWO FAilures.
See the word STARTS with the first TWO letters of the last word.

They NEXT bring about TWO who they thought others would adMIre.
Moving on, the next TWO letters are the NEXT two letters in the last word.

But ENDING wrong this had to pay dearLY.
By now the pattern of taking two letters should be clear so you END the word with the last two of the final word.

While the riddle has a grim outlook on it, it describes a family.  Two individuals (in this case a man and a woman who were failures at what they did) met, and they had two children whom they thought others would admire.  However, since the parents were such failures the children didn't do so great and the family had to pay dearly.
#276
QuoteYeah, the F's are pretty obvious (F being a fail grade), especially since you confirmed my being on the right track with letters building a word.

If it was just "f" that I was referring to, then I could have used a myraid of words, not just the ones I refer to.

You need to analyze EVERYTHING in the riddle.  The ENTIRETY of the wording.  It describes a thing, sure, but there's also clues in how it's worded.

QuoteFaith

No.  While that word had the prerequisite for one of the words I could have used instead of failures, that single word "failures" is NOT the key to solving the riddle.

If no one gets the idea by tomorrow I'll post another riddle that may help give some insight to what I'm referring to.
#277
You're not getting the actual meaning...

Here's a hint: the word "Failures" was chosen for another reason than it's meaning.  I could have also used Fakes, Fames, or Familiars.  These three have one thing in common that works for the riddle.
#278
No.  It's still not any of those things.

While ONE of the ways to solve the riddle is actually based on it being written in English the thing that I'm talking about has been around since recorded history.

Stee is CLOSE to the answer but not quite there.
#279
The riddle could have been asked at any time.  I mean before the time of modern civilization and even most ancient ones.

Things like whom vs who, it's just various versions of english grammar.
#280
Ah, you're right.  It IS supposed to be OF two failures.

And you're wrong with the answer.
