Shireroth

A tree! the tree grows taller as the roots grow downward at the same time.Am I right? *grins*

Mmm...it kind of works...but there's a much better answer. If no one else can get it, I'll give it to you. The one listed on the site from which I stole this is the sort that makes you smile and go "Wow, that's pretty darned clever" Edited by: Scott Siskind  at: 2/22/04 8:35 pm

*falls over*I'm stumped then... I thought I gave a darn good answer

Is it a strip mine?

Bah. You're taking this too literally. I'll give you all tomorrow to think up a really clever riddle-y answer, and if you can't I guess I'll just have to declare Gman the winner.

A goose.And I did not think it was clever at all. Play-on-word riddles are all like that.

Oh yes, answered in the wrong thread. The cuckoo, that is.

Harvey got it.

*falls over* a goose??? I don't get it!Wait... maybe... flapping it's wings? arg!

I don't get it.... Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

Goose feathers are called "down". So as a goose grows up, it is also growing "down".

I still like my tree answer

Don't even get me started on my lack of independent thought."

I must question the sanity of anyone knew what goose feathers were called ...Of course, I thought Tree too so XD

then question my sanity too cause i know that goose feathers are called "down"....hehe...but then again...i know i am not completely sane..........*looks around*....PENGUIN!!! I have no custom signature...oh wait...

A beard grows down as it gets older...So do geese...as they get older, they grow down-feathers....Canyons...I like my Goose answer the best, and thus I submit that...

I guessed a tree But I think a strip-mine is the best answer ha! and the real answer is pretty good as well. I knew geese feathers were called down due to the fact that its the stuff that fills eiderdown blankets. Also because my little brother was once attacked by a goose and has suffered from downsyndrome ever since! HA! ah.....where is that Hesam posticon when I need it......

I just noticed that harvey won...with the answer I proposed...good thing I noticed first... Wylþeow du GrifosThe Kaiser of ShirerothThe gods blessed you with power and a visionThe gods gave you life to accomplish a mission...

I still think my answer is the best as it is valid in every language, not just English. Therefore I'm the real winner, no matter what you decide. Ha! Edited by: Tahmaseb Shah at: 2/23/04 9:37 pm

The cuckoo? Explain your answer...I don't understand.

The young (whatever they are called... chicks?) are bigger than the adult birds.

Bigger? That's creepy...
