    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!

    The day of one's death, then? Or is it something pithier, like a single word?

    Qué importa perderme

    Ah, I knew you had the taste!
    Yes, everyone will be on time for the day they die, or their funeral, if you like. But they will be refered to as "The late so and so." Well done.

    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?

    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    The winnier is MISS C! 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. 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!

    Ahem! I believe the evolutionist would argue that their flippers are highly evolved feet And they come up on land to lay eggs!
