come fiddle with my riddle ?

Published on June 22, 2004 By mignuna In Just Hanging Out

i have the strength of sixty men, i'm over ten feet tall
i'm footed, though i never move, it's said that i can fall

in grand ballrooms i can be seen holding up affairs
and i can bring the house down if i crack up near the stairs

... what am i ?

if you know the solution to this riddle, please make me very happy by posting it

... but if you do post the answer, you must post the next riddle to be guessed by the next successful person, and so on. or so i hope.

course, the whole thing could get ignored, too. how embarrasing that would be. hehe. oh, well ... the risks one will take in order to achieve linguistic banter these days apparently know no bounds !!!. somebody guess, dammit

Well, trina, the first one's second line is "The snow's my breath" so it is something made of, or related to, snow. It's not an icicle, though.

I'd like to make sure mignuna has had enough opportunity to ponder it before I go giving away too much....

made of snow - man, angel, ball -- sleet

relating to ... sleet? frost?

Seriously I'm leaving this one to Vanessa

and I'm definitely leaving her the other one not related to stars

Crusaders come back and tell me if I'm right?

Sorry I have been so long in getting back....

If people told the truth more often, I'd make more money.

Citahellion - Yeah!! Tax Collecter is Correct...though some people also say a newspaper editor, but I can't really see that working?? Thanks

Is the answer to your 1) an Iceburg??

Lengirl, the JU servers have been having some trouble in the last few hours. But in every case where I've attempted to post and gotten an error message back, the message was posted successfully despite the error message. So if you get an error message, back up and click the "reload" button and see if your post shows up.

And you're EXTREMELY close with "Iceberg", too. I would almost go so far as to say that is the 'alternative' answer. But there is one other word that fits even better.

Hmmmm .... Avalanche???

Is 2) a Wave???

Okay.. here's another...It is a part of us, and then replaced. It escapes our bodies, to a better place. The world becomes its sizable home; its passions unrestraint, the planet it roams. What is it?

2) is indeed a wave.

You're a little farther away with Avalanche than you were with Iceberg.
