I was going to say "billiards", but I see Ganesh has beaten me to the knob joke.

the correct answer is one hand - the other one is "giving a high-fiiive."

a hole, for ease of genital manipulation.

The answer is clearly toast, from Granary bread if you want to get specific.

Some string, two red liquorice twists covered in blue pocket fluff, and a plastic frog.

A mouse?
 
 
Cheap. Easy. Cruel.
15:36 / 25.04.04
Is it hard? Round? Does it have a head on it?

What? I was thinking of a coin! You sick bastards!

A pen-top, 'treasure' in the form of a piece of blue glass smoothed around the edges, 38p and a piece of old chewing gum. And a recent train ticket.

A miniature world, on which we all live. Night is actually the shadow of your thumb passing over us. Rain happens when you haven't shaken your willy properly after going to the toilet. What we think of as horses are your genital lice.

Please free us.

He has Emilio Estevez in his pocket? Then he has a very big pocket.

You can keep Emilio Estevez in a Pokeball, you know.

Actually I'll give you an answer which is most likely to be correct:

Some air. Unless your pockets are airtight....spaceman!

These are all exceedingly inventive suggestions, some based on logic... others revolving around knob gags... a few on intuition.

The problem is... today is a different day, I'm wearing different trousers, and have different objects in my pocketsess. So, is the answer (which someone did get) what I had in my capacious trous, or what I currently have?

How would Smeagol and Bilbo have faired had they been playing riddles in the dark from two separate caves... with lap-tops? or PDA's...? Is that remotely relevant?

_o O o_ gissa clue!

Well, let's see.

The answer for the first pair of trousers, is fairly ring-like.... It's full name has four syllables, and I've heard stories about African tribesmen using them as talismans against the patter of tiny feet.

Today's answer, for the second, wrong pair of trousers, is somewhat harder.

It's a small, square digital device, that utilises the signal from a small piece of metal passing over a magnet. The device is interested in how often this occurs.


Anyone who gets both questions right, will win many points!!!! And what do points make..?

Is todays answer a pedometer?
 
 
Christoph_Chicken
13:05 / 26.04.04
Now there was me hoping for some witty banter regarding the measurement of children using large pizzas on sticks.....

Ah well.

I'm afraid it's a good answer Phyrephox, but Jeremy Paxman wouldn't accept it.

The device in my pocket today (being small enough to fit in these trousers*) Is not a Pedometer, and yet it does work in a similar way.

5 points to you for almost getting it right....






* the previous trousers were obviously much larger, being able to house Emilio Estivez and various others...

the second one's a bike computer.
