I have been searching for the answer to this riddle for a long time...
A seven letter word (i.e. 1234567) whereby the 123 word in an animal, 2345 is a type of food, 456 is a utensil, and 567 is something that remains the same every year. Any Clues??? Shawn |

Scott,
There were a couple I hadn't thought of. I have been starting to think there isn't a solution. Searched long and hard on the net for the answer but it is not to be found. Thanks. Shawn |

Maybe trying this dictionary/crossword/etc. page will help:
http://dictionary.langenberg.com/ A Harry Potter friend of mine suggested "Hogwart" as the answer. I like his logic: 123="Hog"=animal 2345="Ogwa"="Agua"=spanish for water=food 456="War"=utensil 567="Art"=something that never changes <G> |

War is a utensil? Art never changes? Ogwa?
Where did you hear this riddle, Shawn?
Thought: Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.

It was e-mailed to me. The version on the site Wayman mentioned is different but worth looking at.
Thanks, Shawn |

Taken from the above site.
From Owen (okl-word@juno.com): Well, I've found _an answer, but I don't really like it since it's an archaic word, "propend," meaning "to have a propensity; incline or tend," and these types or riddles propend towards more current terms. PRO = professional athletes are lions or tigers or bears or ducks (oh, my!). Some of the women they've dated may say they're animals even without the team designations. ROPE = slang for spaghetti, sausages or licorice. PEN = a writing utensil. END = December 31st. There is at least one other riddle list out there, BTW, which is also searching for this solution, without results so far. No one seems to know where it comes from, so there is no guarantee that there _is a correct answer, nor that it's been transcribed correctly, nor even that it is meant to be solved in English! |

I missed that one, I will have to look again. I have found the other folks looking for it also. I think it was a yahoo list. In any case I appreciate it.

In Cups&Balls? Not in John Bannon's routine though, since he actually uses them as vessels mostly and not turned upside down.
