"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands

Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

The man who invented proper grammar. Ask the question in english please.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

Unfortunately, there is no spoiler text color on dakka.

So now that we have the answer, is the thread over, or are we all going to start thinking up more riddles?

Oldie, but goodie:

You have two coins (US currency) that add up to 30 cents. One of them is not a nickel (5 cents). What are the two coins? (For you non-Americans, here's a break-down of American currency: penny = 1 cent, nickel = 5 cents, dime = 10 cents, quarter = 25 cents).

Right so if one of them is not a nickel it will be a quarter, and the other one, that one is a nickel.

Sorry to be a bore, but the actual longest non-technical word in the english language is floccinaucinihilipilification, which means the act of judging something worthless.

Arrghhh.

You people. If he uses a stylised set of grammar, don't bother saying "Oh it's wrong." Yes it's old fashioned. It's not wrong.

"And what is wrong with their life? What on earth is less reprehensible than the life of the Levovs?"
- American Pastoral, Philip Roth

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

Gen Lee Losing got mine.

You guys need to post more riddles.

I have a rather abstact one but it is incredibly hard if you havn't already heard it.

You are in an eclosed house with no entrances or exits. You cannot cut through or break them in any way. The only things in the house are a table and a mirror. How do you get out?

PS: and you can't use portals.

For those of you who want the answer.
Spoiler:
You look in the mirror and see what you saw. You take the saw and cut a hole in the table. You take the hole put it up to the wall and climb out.
