Riddles!!!

[msbrunnettemickey]

Ok, so, i'm going to post some riddles, the first person to get one of the riddles right, is the one who has to make up another riddle, and then the first person who gets one of that person's riddles right, will post a riddle...

BUT! You have to post who got the riddle right first, so that person would know, he/she won, and has to make up a riddle.

Ok, i begin. (SO EASY)

1. Why are 1898 silver dollars worth more than 1897 silver dollars?

2. Someone at a party introduces you to your mother's only sister's husband's sister in law. He has no brothers. What do you call this lady?

3. What English word can have 4 of its 5 letters removed and still retain it's original pronunciation?

I will also report who got them first, you guys can decide if you want scores.
If it's been a long time.. and no one got none of the riddles (which i doubt) I'll post the answers.
Good luck.

1. because 1898 is a larger number than 1897
2. your mother. that one gave me a headache.
3.queue (i think thats spelled right.) of course the only reason i knew this one was because i have heard it before.

[msbrunnettemickey]

Omg. blargherness won. Yayaya.
Even thought i think you cheated and googled the answers...
You get to make up the new riddles.
Gogogogogo.

[blargherness]

Well i didnt... #1 was really easy and like i said i heard number 3 before, but whatever.
ok here is mine:
A small child is playing around in a very tall building. she jumps off the third story but is physically o.k., and there is nothing at the bottom to slow her fall except the hard surface at the bottom. how is this possible? And i made it up so you cant google it. its pretty easy if you think about it. It is kinda Iffy but whatever.

b/c the first few stories are underground

[blargherness]

Nope, not the answer...but that would work...i gotta make my riddles more descriptive. And remember, it IS iffy, please dont get angry if it is way too unusual for a riddle.

[pntballa18]

You said she was physically ok before the jump, but not after.

[blargherness]

You said she was physically ok before the jump, but not after.

She is physically ok AFTER the jump. ok? ok.

[pntballa18]

You cant jump off of the third story building unless it's at the top. Either I win, of you change it to OUT of the third story

[vashthestampede0987]

Because the stories are only 1ft high.

[blargherness]

vash: nope.
paintballa: I made up the riddle so I choose what is what and I choose the winner because I know the answer.

[pntballa18]

I GOT IT! Its so easy when you read it slowly. It's possible because the little kid jumped out! It never says how is it possible that she didnt get hurt!

[blargherness]

VERY VERY good answer, but not the one I'm looking for. sorry.

[Tps222]

Is it possible that she never hit the ground. Maybe there isn't gravity, and she floated away.

[Tps222]

Or it's possible that she jumped off the 3rd and landed on the 2nd.

[vashthestampede0987]

She fell in a pile of garbage.

[blargherness]

She fell in a pile of garbage.

and there is nothing at the bottom to slow her fall except the hard surface at the bottom.

and i will say again, it is iffy.

[vashthestampede0987]

But it's not slowing her down.

[blargherness]

yet again,

except THE HARD SURFACE at the bottom.

K i will give a pretty big hint, the hard surface at the bottom isn't necessarily the sidewalk/earth/road....pay attention to all the iffy unfinished sentences.

[psychic25]

Hmm... all I can think of is that "story" doesn't mean the levels of a building.

Is the building a library, and she jumped off a stack of books (stories) onto the floor?
