Apparently I have been watching Jeopardy too much lately, because the first thing I though when I figured it out was, "What is Time?"

"He died on earth, and got back up on earth."

Don't tell me you guys need hints.

Quote: "My riddle, er.. um.. How many ears did Dr Spock have?"


If it was the Star Trek Spock, then two.

If it was the German Doctor Spock, then three.

If it was some other Spock, then I have no clue.

You use two tenses in the same sentence, making the riddle hard to understand.
Do you mean "but if i were dead there would be light."?

A person. Where in the 'morning' (beginning of life) a baby crawls, where at 'noon' (middle years) a person walks, where in the 'evening' (later years) a person uses a walking stick.

A man is found hung in his jail cell, from the light.
The cell is quite large: 5x5x3.5m.
There is nothing else in the cell except the man, the rope he used to hang himself, and a puddle of water.
His feet are measured to be a meter off the ground.
How did he manage to hang himself?

Without sounding like a doom-sayer, keep this in mind however.

This post in raw html without images is about 276kilobytes, as an archive its 1.8 megs with graphics.
Times that by 2,808, expecting everyone to be a unique view is 756 megs of bandwidth at a minimum and around 5000 megs of bandwidth with graphics using unique posts.
Well done ! you show great productivity and spent your products costing and then some plus more.
109 megs on your avatar goes to photo bucket
