I think that's for the electric chair, not stake.

Homer: MMMMMM ... Steak ... (drools)

That riddle was a tough pun.

Here's one that appeared in two separate games:

What's tall as a house
and round as a cup
but all the king's horses
can't draw it up?

Cool! The original was a lot of fun. Pirates are awesome! AAARRR!! Maybe throw in a cameo by Ocean Spirit Denis as some sort of Easter egg?

Guess "Burger King" would have probably been too obvious...

Historical leader commonly found in burger joints.

King!

We are considering including a voice pack in the game, but we would like to have your opinion on that. We've put together a short poll on the subject; please answer it. Thanks!

If you decide to do a voice pack I would make it as a separate download, or at least make it possible to download the game without the speech pack as they can really inflate file size.

Okay, being on the right track...

Your bones?

Yes, that is the correct answer!

The ones that live inside everyone are, "Your Organs."

You're on the right track...

A man does it standing up, a woman does it sitting down, a dog does it on three legs.

This one was on Benny Hill.

his answer was 'shake hands'

What grinds down mountains and kills everything?

Hmm might take some 'time' to answer that one...

You got it!

Here's one from a more obscure game.

What lives inside every person?
If you're lucky you'll never see the ones inside yourself.
But in the end they are visible to all.

What has 4 legs for breakfast, two legs for lunch, and 3 legs for dinner?

I remember very similar riddle, that was like "Who walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs in midday and 3 legs in the evening". The answer was: a man, who crawls on four as a baby, walks on two as a grown up and uses stick for extra support in the older ages.
But at this time, it might be just a guy who loves eating chicken legs or something.

You're on the right track,

It's a variation of the riddle of the sphinx. Since the answer to the sphinx riddle was 'man' the answer to my new one would be something that eats men, like a cannibal (though a grisly bear or shark or other large carnivore would also work)

There were some riddles in the Hobbit also, but I don't remember the exact wording for them. A rough paraphrase of one:

What grinds down mountains and kills everything?

As I recall many of these riddles are from "Betrayal at Krondor"

Here's one I made up that gives a new twist to a rather well known riddle

What has 4 legs for breakfast, two legs for lunch, and 3 legs for dinner?

Ok I thought of a more conventional riddle:
"What dish serves three and doesn't ever end?"

I was thinking. We could keep this thread alive by posting topical epitaphs of recently deceased celebrities and other notable figures.

In memory of Bones McCoy of Star Trek fame.

Well, that was non eventful. On the plus side at least the world and society didn't end and there weren't any coronal mass ejections to wipe out our technology.

[what]

What am I?

When you say what are implying that the answer is an inanimate object rather than a person?

"What weighs 5 oz, lives in a tree and is dangerous?"

Something venomous?
A bird with the flu?

If my answer is correct then that's a pretty bad riddle and your anger is well justified.

A big thing to consider would be if the names of the people using the free kill and their chosen victims is public or not. If this info is made public then people would hopefully only kill criminals or "evil people" that most of society would feel were worthy of death. However if there is complete anonymity then you'd have to worry about people being killed over petty squabbles or other minor things. Another thing to consider is how to keep the free kill out of the hands of criminals, perhaps convicted felons would be ineligible for using the free kill?

While I support the death penalty for pedophilia and other violent crimes I don't think I'd support the free kill policy. Sure somebody can be a world class jerk, but does that mean they truly deserve to die? And what would keep people from using the free kill over ideological differences?

That "Twilight Zone" episode though was a classic, especially the twist at the end! (Click for the spoiler)

If you're into the "Ancient Aliens" theory then Dec 22 may be the date mankind has its first official contact with extraterrestrials. Let's hope they are friendly and here to solve all our problems rather than hostile and here to enslave us and pillage our resources.
