Here is a riddle that was presented to people from varying age ranges across America. If you have heard it, don't blurt the answer out immediately. Let the folks from England, Australia, and America Jr. take a stab at it.
When asked this riddle 85% of Kindergardeners answered correctly, where as only 13% of Stanford Seniors found the correct answer. So don't feel dumb if you can't get it. Here goes.
"What is more powerful than God, more evil than the Devil;
Rich people need it, poor people have it,
and if you eat it you'll die?"

There was no fight Loki. Hair had a hate fit and took it out on me. I had no choice but to defend myself. Sorry for the vulgarity, I usually don't get like that. His attack was unprovoked.
Stars and the answer to mine (in case someone missed it) was "nothing".

No, the One Ring. OK, just my ring. I thought this was a geek site. How comes you don't get Tolkien references?

My curiosity is peaked, have you posted anything about your living situation? If not, I'd like to hear about it.

He can't reach the buttons.
Here's another one:
At night they come without being fetched,
And by day they are lost without being stolen.
Hint: They belong to the night.
what happened between SubP and Hair? I hate when I miss a fight.

He can only reach the button for the tenth floor. He has to climb the stairs to go all the way up (that was left out).

A man live on the 10th floor of an appartment block. Every morning he gets in the lift, goes to the bottom floor and goes to work.
At night he comes home, gets in the lift but only goes to the fifth floor. Why?

Your potential. Oops, I mean "nothing".
Semantics are not hard, cunt.
Fuck, I hate you more than anything I have ever come across.
HATE.
I have never *really* hated until I met you. You are as fucked as dbcooper.
It's rare to garner my wrath. You, however have it all.
