Ceepa, I've seen bits and pieces of a couple of episodes, but it's set in the city in which I work. Scranton has banners on the streets with the names of the different companies that are located in the city - there's even a Dunder-Mifflin one! I do have to sit and watch one of these days. I listen to Rock 107 and they talk about it all the time.

[buddyleebaby]

I am the beginning of sorrow, and the end of sickness. You cannot express happiness without me, yet I am in the midst of crosses. I am always in risk, yet never in danger. You may find me in the sun, but I am never out of darkness.

[elizabethkott]

Oooh! Oooh!

The letter "S"!!!!

I don't have one, though... at least not a nice short one. All mine are super long and annoying. I don't think anyone wants to deal with that... :)

[fortato]

Saw it--

I loved watching Dwight's face when Ryan finished the last riddle!

Mountains will crumble and temples will fall, and no man can survive its endless call. What is it?

[chiqanita]

Yup, one coin is not a nickel because it is a quarter and a nickel.

[tarynsmum]

ha, actually it was from Scrubs (a repeat DH was watching today)

[gordo]

Time!

I am a rock group that has 4 members, all of whom are dead, one of which was assasinated. What am I?

[fortato]

Mount Rushmore!

An archeologist discovers the mummified remains of two people, after carefully unwrapping them he discovers that they are Adam and Eve.......But how did he know??

[EllasMum]

I know this one's already been solved - but here's a similar one!

It's the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space. The beginning of every end, and the end of every place. What is it?

[ShanaMama]

The letter E!

Am I the only one who totally does not get the towels one?

[Ceepa]

How funny!

[dr mom]

A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year. But they were not twins.
How could this be so?

[AngelaS]

Part of a set of triplets or more. ;)

What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? (don't think too hard....)

[EllasMum]

a stick? :)

[sdoyle]

Was just coming to ask someone to explain the towel one when I finally figured it out. What a moron! I've been thinking about it all day! Here's one I'm sure everyone has already heard but thought I'd post anyway.....DH hadn't.

What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it,
The rich don't need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?

[turtledove]

Nothing

I don't have a new riddle though!

[shilo]

[dr mom]

Ah, a Tolkein fan!

It's an egg, of course.

ETA a riddle to keep the thread going:
Walk on the living, they don't even mumble. Walk on the dead, they mutter and grumble. What are they?

[randomkid]

Fallen leaves.

You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

Whoops.....I don't have another one to keep this going.

[denna]

Oooo I'll play. I was going to add this riddle but since its already here and answered I'll add another :):

I can run, but never walk,
Often a murmur, never talk,
I have a bed but never sleep,
I have a mouth but never eat.
What am I?

[ribbit1019]

[himom]

A river?

Here's a weird one:

A woman walks into a bar and after a moment asks the bartender for a glass of water. He pulls out a shotgun and points it in her face. She says "thank you" and leaves.

What happened?

[denna]

Yep its a river.

Was she trying to rob the place??? (I was really never good at riddles)

Here's another:

If a man carried my burden,
He would break his back.
I am not rich,
But leave silver in my track.
What am I?

[gina]

was it a squirt gun?

[KarenNYC]

she had the hiccups! (she wanted water to get rid of them but the bartender gave her a scare to get rid of them instead......)



another one to add to the list:

The one who makes it doesn't need it
the one that buys it doesn't keep it
the one that sells it doesn't use it
the one that's using it never knows it being used
What am I?

[roysmom]

A coffin!!!

What is it a man stands up to do, a woman sits down to do, and a dog holds out his leg to do?

[fattytuna]

to urinate?

[himom]

Yep! Hiccups.

[himom]

A snail, carrying his house on his back?

[denna]

Yep its a snail :). Wow I never would have guessed hiccups, told you I was horrible. I knew the pee and coffin one though :D.

[shilo]

ETA: yeah, it was just a twist on the first riddle in the thread, but it is SD's favorite riddle!

[roysmom]

Johnny

Until I am measured, I am not known. Yet how you miss me, When I have flown.

[spu]

oh I love the office. I've only missed 2 episodes - 1 when I was in labor, and 1 - the week I came home from the hospital and I was soooo tired....

I think I heard this riddle on Scrubs too - newbie told the joke to the janitor guy, who, with his geeky friends, looked it up in some old coin books and found a coin that's not a nickle, but worth .05...
