Eh, semantics. Is it some sort of beshelled reptile Pen? (Robin: :p)
by land OR sea so its amphibious? I keep think crab but they shed their shells... Terrapins are both land and sea!
whats the family name?
Or are you just looking for the family Chelonia
Snail?

The winnier is MISS C! http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/sportlich/a040.gif And it is true, Robin, that people call dry-land turles "Tortises". But there is a kind called "Box Turtles", very common around here. This guy. http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/co...x%20turtle.jpg And the water-turtles here are able to walk on land. Their feet are both webbed and clawed. Right now. old "Quickdraw" my Painted Turtle which I caught several years ago, is up on his rock looking around. But he can swim! I've seen Aligator Snappers here as big as a good sized truck tire. Tiz the turtle! ;)
Ah I see I always think of sea turtles when think turtle and they dont have feet they have flippers.
Cheers to Miss C for her first Brain Teaser victory!
Ahem! I believe the evolutionist would argue that their flippers are highly evolved feet :rolleyes: And they come up on land to lay eggs! ;) :lol:Quote:

well so wheres the riddle???
I'm looking for it! Hang on!:miffed:
The beginning of eternity,
the end of time and space,
the beginning of every end,
and the end of every place.
((Let's call it a stall, shall we? I need to find the one I was looking for...))
Aha! Found it. Riddlers may answer the first riddle if they please, but they must answer this one at least...:
The Celtic queen of Britain once had two sons, and when the time came for her to choose her successor, she set a riddle before them:
Now calm and consenting, now cold, unrelenting--
My rhythm changes with the moon.
When her bark rides high, I rise and swell.
When her sphere sinks low, I fall as well.
I buoy men up, or drag them down:
Upon me rest, or in me drown.
I'll seize all a man owns, never to repay--
Yet victual his table every day.
I smile; I storm; I do men harm--
Or else reward, according to my whim.
Who dares to flout my purposes,
I'll be the ruin of him.
So wild and deep, no fool can tame me:
Both faithless and constant. Riddler, name me.
The sea or the ocean but seeing as its britain Ill say the sea.
huh... she says it isnt the sea, but the sea applies to all of it, she also says there are 2 answers Id say tides but that the same thing...
what else is there? relating to the moon and drownng and food?
Umm a lake? or some other body of water
the tide perhaps :)
said that!!
It is something that can be compared to tides. Hint: The brother who said tides was correct and inherited the kingdom. The other brother, who guessed first, was wrong and banished.
ha I actually though that but then said Noooo its well ahem what did kathy call it the red wave? I think
?:confused:?
Night, you okay? I don't know what you're talking about...
It all seems so familiar.
Aimus, you are a riddle...:confused:
MC hes saying that Im confusing or talking nonsens which is what is familiar... Ok another possiblilty is periods, they used to think they were controlled by the moon,
smile; I storm; I do men harm--
Or else reward, according to my whim.
sounds like a possible discription of mood swings doesnt it?
Wow, that's the first time anyone has ever told me I'm a riddle. :D Thanks! I like that. :nod:
That's just icky Night, periods are evil! pure evil, the very thought of a woman in her periods make's my blood turn to ice. :eek2:
hehe well then my revenge is complete you icked me and now I ick you and I have the answer to all posible icky situations:nod: :D
You two are goofs!~giggle~ But, there again, I needed a good laugh...
Well, it's only icky when the period of a woman directly affects me, so I doubt it will do much harm :)
Glad to be of service MC, you mean it wont ick you out.... how annoying
EDIT: Does this mean I was wrong?
and also is it my turn to bost a brain teaser now??
I'll let you keep working on it. But yes, technically you were wrong. Post away, though...
If only I remember .... :flare:
What are you so angry about? (btw, there's a note to you on the post beneath yours on Make a Wish--- you beat me...)
rember what???
http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/g015.gif
^^^ thats curiousity if you dont recognise what the smilie is..:D
remember where i've seen this before!
Ohh, if only you could. But... you can't. I have to go. I'll answer any more guesses later. Post away, Night...
The answer to the first one, of course, is the letter 'e'.
Well, yes. But the second?
Gravity??
Attraction???
Riding on a crimson wave??? Not sure if it was Kathy...Quote:

It was the son thinking of a symbolic representation rather than a literal answer, yes. Therefore while one answer is tides, the other is not going to be closely associated physically with tides. Get my meaning?
