I thought I should put a riddle of the day every day on ezabel in the forums from now on, so todays riddle of the day is, WHY ARE 1990 AMERICAN DOLLAR BILLS WORTH MORE THAN 1989 AMERICAN DOLLAR BILLS? I will post the answer on this thursday.

The answer is that 1900 stands for $1,900 so it is greater than just$1,989

now we have located the source of the problem, now it's time for action...tell your math teacher to stop with the riddles and teach some math.

thatdarngirl #2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Is that really considered a riddle? I don't know the riddle rules but I know "What have I got in my pocket?" is not a riddle.

LOTR

deanh77 #2.1.1 deanh77Founder

actually, isn't that "The Hobbit"?

thatdarngirl #2.1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Gollum speaks about it in LOTR, not exactly sure where. He's going on about "What has he gots in his pockets precious? Thief!"

iwz #2.1.1.2 iwz

yeah.. i really hope they make a movie out of The Hobbit. That would be sweet.

frobro frobroOG 2003

the hobbit is coming out in 2006

iwz iwz

alas, it isn't true

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

are you telling porky pies aka lies? i haven't heard anything about this. i've seen petitions addressed to New Line to make one. but one isn't in the works at this time. if it's gonna get made i imagine peter jackson would have first crack--and i think he's gonna take a short nap after the LOTR trilogy.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I heard that what's his name, the gay guy that plays Gandalf, wants to have a hand in making and producing the Hobbit, even if he has to do it as a TV movie.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Ian McKellan. i doubt he'll be able to pull that off. and if he did it'd end up on BBC-TV! i hope Peter Jackson, after an appropriate break, does the Hobbit. if not, I hope someone emulates the style of the LOTR trilogy and does a REALLY good job.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Yeah, I really hope Peter Jackson..or someone who has equal respect for Tolkien and doesn't change things will take it on.

1. A question or statement requiring thought to answer or understand; a conundrum.
2. One that is perplexing; an enigma.

frobro #2.3 frobroOG 2003

Do you have a stick of gum in you pocket.

thatdarngirl #2.3.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

No..just some listerene mints. Such goodness.

frobro #2.3.1.1 frobroOG 2003

come on I was close.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

You sound so upset, were you playing for a prize?

skaorsk8 #1 skaorsk8OG 2002
