Post all your riddles here.
One man walks into a bar and the bartender gives him a drink. The man drinks it and dies. A second man walks in and the bartender gives him a drink. The man waits a while then drinks the beer and lives. How is this possible?
The first drink was poison. Duh.
I really don't know...please tell me Ken.
[/Endsarcasm]
Okay Milonious is right kinda. The first man died because he drank the poison to fast. The second man lived because he waited for it to dissolve.
Here's one of my favorites. Very poetic.
This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
If you waited for it to dissolve wouldn't it kill you faster?Quote:

To dissolve the contents and sing to wait for it to dissolve?
Nup. You're getting there.
Do you understand what the word dissolve MEANS? If you mix sugar into lemonade, you can't see it, but that doesn't mean that it magically vanished! Dissolving is simply breaking it up into individual molecules or particles, so that it is generally invisible to the naked eye.Quote:

I'm not sure what the point of the spitting was, but I'm guessing the singing was how long it would take for the spit (or bacteria) to be boiled out of the beer.Quote:

In addition, poison that could be lethal that quickly in that quantity would in all probability be lethal in tiny amounts, and pretty much un-processable by the human body.Quote:

Two guys walk into a bar and order whiskey. The first one downs 5 full tumblers in under a minute, stumbles, hits his head on the bar, and is knocked out cold. The second guy drinks his booze slowly, and leaves after only 1 glass.
The second guy is later found dead in an alley, without a mark on him. Why did he die and the first guy lived?

^ The ice in the drinks was poisoned
I won't get it then...:(Quote:

As for the second riddle, not only does "time" fit, but so does "water." Think about it. ;)
Oh, and the third riddle...I have no idea.
1.) True, trueQuote:

3.) Oh, that's just Koops being silly again.
It's called erosion....Quote:
