Here's an easy one:
A white horse jumped over a tower and landed on a priest, who immediately disappeared from the landscape. Where did this take place?
Cat
Chess board?
I'll try and put some riddles up later, just gotta try and find where I put me lil book with em all in. Plus someone stole my fave beehive one:p
Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?
and
From the beginning of eternity
To the end of time and space
To the beginning of every end
And the end of every place.
What am I?
The first is Eye
The second is the letter 'E'
Here's three easy ones:
There is one word in the English language that is always pronounced incorrectly. What is it?
What is it that goes up and goes down but does not move?
If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in the center field?
is the first one: incorrectly..?
the haystacks one is: one haystack
middle one... wild guess
an elevator/lift?
No Stairs! they don't move.

The problem is often referred to as 'Older Brother Syndrome'
these are all really good!
a nice easy one...
my first is in boat and also in battle,
my second is in acorn, oak and apple.
my third and fourth are both the same,
in the centre of sorrow and twice in refrain,
my fifth starts eternity, ending here,
my sixth is the first of last, oh dear!

Barrel [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif" alt=":D" border="0"/> i remember that one
here's another Jacques one:
Turn at the lowest stair
Right is the left down there
Every pace you must count
At ten times paws amount
See where the deathbird flies
Under the hunter's eyes
Radiant in splendour fair
Ever mine, hidden where?
anyone who's read the books should know that one
I think maeve has the same riddle book as me.......

Couple of easy ones:
What goes up and down stairs without moving?
No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?
You use a knife to slice my head, then weep beside me when I am dead. What am I?
I went to the woods and caught it,
There I sat down and sought it.
Because I could not find it
Home with me I brought it.
In a marble hall white as milk
Lined with skin as soft as silk
Within a fountain crystal-clear
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in to steal its gold.
gosh, i have no idea either Gambit! That one's tricky...
OH! WAIT! it's treasure!!! [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif" alt=":D" border="0"/>

Cept number two wasnt the one I had down, but I could see how it could work....
hmmm....

Broken? No:D.
Number four is my fave riddle ever, mainly cause it was the first one I could remember...
Just think small.
