Technically true, and you are on the right track. But I wrote this riddle in such a way as to apply even to people who do not believe in a doomsday... you have the flavor, now swallow and tell me the wine! :)Quote:

A new riddle...
Tis said it takes a lot of living
To turn a "house" into a "home"
And be it ever so humble
It'll be there when you've no where else to go
Humans like to build our dwelling
Out of what ever we may have at hand
It doesn't really matter about the materials
It's the foundations that make it stand
But I myself can wander where I will
It never matters where my feet may roam,
This house I made, whether I go by land or by sea
The miles will never take my feet away from home.
What am I? :)
Turtle? I feel like yelling TURTLE! TURTLE! But I'm not really all that sure...~sheepish~
I agree with Misscaroline, although 'tis the tortoise that walks, if I remember...
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:
