Riddle Me This?

[aspirin54]

I've always enjoyed riddles and, with Sleepers PIF, I figured there should be a riddle thread. It'll run similar to the other guessing threads out here. I'll start with a riddle and then once someone guesses the answer and it's confirmed then they will post a riddle. So here goes:


What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

 

[tclobaugh]

Makes me want BBQ... Charcoal!

 

[aspirin54]

Makes me want BBQ... Charcoal!

Yes it does, correct! You're up.

 

[Orville]

I will take the bait, if that's alright . . .

A man sits in a room. The room is round with four windows spread equidistant from each other. All windows face south. through one of the windows he can see a bear in the distance. What colour is the bear?

White.
(a room with 4 windows all pointing south must be at the North Pole)

 

[luvmysuper]

I can run but I can't walk, a mouth but I can't speak, a head but I can't think, and a bed but I can't sleep.

What am I?

 

[61fatboy]

A river. Someone else can come up with a riddle because I don't have any.

 

[Prof. Moriarty]

Five is four, six is nine, what is seven?

 

[aspirin54]

[Prof. Moriarty]

Good job

If anyone wants to know why its below:

Spoiler

Five is four, six is nine, what is seven?
IV, IX, V, are all roman numerals

 

[tclobaugh]

What kind of cheese is made backwards?

 

[Prof. Moriarty]

What kind of cheese is made backwards?

I believe it is Michaels turn as he guessed correctly.

 

[cwf71]

I believe it is Michaels turn as he guessed correctly.

I think tclobaugh was the first correct guess at the top of the thread, but got overrun by others, so is turnabout fair play?

And edam is a cheese, made, backward...

 

[cwf71]

I will gladly clear out of the way and let Michael take it away...

 

[aspirin54]

This took off faster than I thought, cwf71 you got the answer so go for it. Just glad I got that one right.

 

[aspirin54]

tclobaugh got back and got his in, so all yours Chris with edam as the correct answer.

 

[cwf71]

OK... I flourish when fed but will perish if given a drink. What am I?

 

[Ulricus]

A fire.

 

[cwf71]

Ulricus is correct... You're up!

 

[Ulricus]

Forward I am heavy, but backward I am not. What am I?
