Curious - what are the other words in the English language that end in GRY?
This is also only one form of the riddle there are about 3 or 4 versions of this same riddle - confusing eh?
I'm still looking for a good riddle. I'll post tomorrow.

Call me stupid, but I don't understand why "language" is the answer to this riddle.

Here's the explaination Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is. What I bolded is the riddle, everything else is really extra to confuse you. The English Language - what is the 3rd word? It's Language. Hope this helps. ![:)](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Hannah22/Fourm/smiley.gif)

Sorry it took me so long - It was a long weekend here and just had so much to do. Here's the next riddle:
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in.
What should have he said?

Is the answer 3? As in three letters in the number 10?

This is one I just made up:
I am made of many colours, Though I always end up clear, But put lots of us together, And white we will appear. I am lighter than a feather, Though I'm wider than one too, If you touch me, I'll disappear, So be careful what you do. What am I?

Yippy. O.k this is a old one.
A man was found dead in a field miles away from any town or village. He was not murdered, and did not commit suicide. The only other thing found was a package that had not been opened. How did he die?

Uh...heart attack? Cancer? The Plague? This riddle doesn't sound like it has a definite answer to it...

Well how do we know he wasn't ill? It doesn't say he wasn't in the riddle. And you don't have to be ill to have a heart attack.
