Right then, I'll riddle you good.
What is invisible, yet very obvious, beautiful, yet vicious, and can put armies to sleep as well as knock over a car?
Atomic radiation?
Wind?
Windows ME?
since when is ME invisible? Oi, oi.
i would go with teh shell on guessing Wind?
Both wrong.
PROTIP: It is attached to a fish tail.
Kinda.
water?
but that is only "invisible" in it's gaseous form, and transparent (at best ) in the two other forms
Still wrong, my boi. -w-
Added after 23 seconds:
Also, it's much more specific than those guesses.
Fish oil?
Due to my logic, a wave of fish oil could put armies to sleep (permanently) and knock over a car.

It's not Vista, as hinted by the last line. I'm guessing it's either Windows NT or 95 as they were more reliable than ME but were still rather unstable.

I don't think memory is represented superficially. Going off of XP-kun and Homeo, Homeo is a teenager, whereas XP-kun is an adult bodybuilder. Since XP Pro and XP Home (the OS's themselves, not the -tans) have similar memory requirements, I don't think that any representation of memory usage for -kuns will be shown anywhere other than in hentai pics.
alex and aurora, you both win #3. :3

and as for #2.....

Okay, back to topic.... What was riddle #2 again? i got lost here....
NO ONE HAS GOTTEN RIDDLE NO. 2 YET. JUST SO EVERYONE IS AWARE.
to get a bit more specific,
-tan is an honorific,
and -tan begins with t,
and the t word of the second line is what-you-need-to-see.
Thrasher... I bet that the -tan in question is proficient with swords. So, either 95 or NT, as has already been stated, unless it's not a Windows-tan. Maybe Mac System 7-tan, or VMS-tan?
Oh, crap there was a -tan Bella liked, wich one was that again....

it was XPMCE-tan. (the brown haired version) In the 80's there was the genre of british punk rock, where fans and artists alike were sometimes referred to as "thrashers". also, a "crasher" could mean someone who decided to crash on the couch, which is also common of punk rockers.

alex, you're doing really good at this one! but here's some more hints:
re-simplify your 2nd answer (in the first post, 2nd one down)
you're on the right track with the porn. but what letter is used in porn the most?
X!
Linux XPX?
yes, and no at the same time. right letter, wrong thing to do with it.
i wanted to do a ME-tan theme for my box in pottery, but my teacher said it has to be "original". perhaps i'll go with a gothic-steampunk theme.....
It subtracts the "x", so Linux XP - X= Linup

Here's one:
You find yourself at the edge of a dark forest... Your map tells you that it's roughly a round forest 6 miles in diameter, with a creek after 1.5 miles and a river after 4 miles...
How far can you walk into the forest?
as far as you want, duh. >:P
Nope, wrong....
Try again, think harder... ^_^
Up to 3 miles because that's halfway. Walk more than that and you're walking OUT of the forest!
Right!.... As i would've expected from the Moderator... ^_^
nice. :]
uhm....
if ME crashes in the forest and no one is around, does she reboot on her own?
No, someone has to knock some sense into her first!
Suppose you're building a house and all the house's walls have a southern exposure. What color is that nearby bear?
Well, it would help if we knew the bear's natural colour...
If no-one can figure out Aurora's, try this:
"I never was, yet always will be. I am never seen, yet
I always come. I can carry nothing, yet hold much for some."
THE PEDOBEAR IS PEDOBEAR COLOURED.
Dunno, brown...
Nope. Think about it... "southern exposure" on all sides of the house...
Red?
White...
But polar bears don't live on antarctica...
But hey, "souther exposure".
Wouldnt that mean the NORTH Pole?
Oh, right... ^_^
You are both right, Smokey and VonDaab! :D
Okay, mine now:
"I never was, yet always will be. I am never seen, yet
I always come. I can carry nothing, yet hold much for some."
The future? Since it is always yet to come, is never seen, is certain to come and holds much for some people.
Nope, try again! You were close, though.
Tomorrow...
Well done, Smokey! And now for another:
"Who makes it has no need of it. Who buys it has no use for
it. Who uses it has no knowledge of it."

The person who makes it doesn't need it, the person buying it doesn't need it because he/she isn't dead and the person using it doesn't know of it because he/she is dead!
Okay, I'll give you that one. It was actually grave, but in the future I'll count that as an answer too. Now for another:
"I am always hungry, I must always be fed. The finger I
lick will soon turn red."
Fire?

So once there was a girl who got trapped by some bunnies. xD sthen she was in this room with a window. her friend was in the other cell and she has language that can only be used when the guards switch- 9:30. So theres a bell that rings after every hour, theres a cute dog with consistent heartbeat and she can hear it and her dinner is passed at 7:00. She knows all of this. So how does she know when to say the message.
Well, it would help if we knew if it was 9:30am or 9:30pm!
If it's pm:
She waits until her dinner is served then after two chimes of the bell and 1,800 beats of the dog's heart (assuming it beats once per second), she relays the message.
If it's am:
She waits until her dinner is served then after 14 chimes of the bell and 1,800 beats of the dog's heart (assuming it beats once per second), she relays the message.
Wears a watch.
she screams it till it gets across. :]

What's the lifetime expectancy of an average human, MEASURED IN LIGHTYEARS?
(yes, there is a seriose approach to this question -w-)
The only answer I can come up with is that the lightyear is a measure of distance, not time.
Sorry, no riddle of my own... I thought I'd try my hand at answering that one.
Happy 666th post btw, mah boi. -w-
Added after 49 seconds:
Also no, that's wrong, obviously. -w-
You need to think a bit harder on this one! Reshape it a bit, and it'll sound just right.
Is that how many lightyears a human can travel in one lifetime?
If that is so, then the number's gonna be like 3 or something.
No, since a light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year (in case you're wondering what a Julian year is; 365.25 days of 86,400 SI seconds each, totalling 31,557,600 seconds)...
although a lightyear sounds like a huge distance it's just ~1/3 parsec.
Anyways, since we know that the definition of lightspeed (when measuring a lightyear) is 299,792,458 m/s, we can calculate how far light travels in a year (31,557,600 x 299,792,458 / 100) = 9,460,730,472,580.8 KM. so we now assume that your human is averaging 5KM/H, we can calculate how many (or how big a fraction of a ) lightyear a human lasts...
A human would traverse a lightyear (with an average speed of 5KM/H) in 215,850,569,76 Julian years... We know that a human doesn't live that long, so we'll have this human live 90 Julian years. So we'll calculate what the distance is in that lifespan...
A human could traverse (with said speed of 5KM/H) a distance of 3,944,700KM wich is 1/2398339,664th of a lightyear...
Therefore the average life-expectancy of a human, measured in lightyears is 1/2398339,664...
Added after 2 minutes:
BTW, Red_Machine... If a human could traverse 3 Lightyears, he would reach a respectable and record-breaking age of 647,551,709,28 Julian years...
Lol, I was thinking they would be assisted by rocket boosters!
Heh, even if a human we're to go in a rocket wich traveled at 5,000,000KM/H he wouldn't reach half a lightyear in 90 years...
Hey, I found a photo of Smokey in his teens
(http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee258/VDaab/1138769986962.jpg)
More like this dude in that white suit...
(http://www.highprofile.nl/images/dynamic/bedrijven/280/480-Dol-maffia-02.jpg)
There's no possible face-saving response to that one, Smokey XD. I'm dying of laughter... that was a good one VonDaab...
Well, obviously Nej's riddle is a classic wordplay riddle and not a logic problem... See this:
QuoteReshape it a bit, and it'll sound just right.
Chances are it's one of those things I'm gonna have to read like twenty times before I get it...
That's a good one, smokey!
Not the answer I was thinking of, but that one's a more blunt approach to it, I guess. ^^
When I said reshape, I meant you should think it like this:
Traveling at the speed of light, how many years would a human live?
(assuming the spacecraft doesn't collapse etc. and yes I know lightspeed travel isn't actually possible, but I say it is now, so go with it.)
57 days and 6 hours before he/she gets murdered out of boredom... ^_^
Then Smokey was on the right track - he just needs to remove distance from the equation. Also, are we sure average lifespan is 90? I guess the number here is mostly arbitrary as long as he uses the proper formula (like the one he used to determine the age in Julian years after traveling 3 lightyears).
Damn, I'm still amused by that picture XD... I'm a very sad individual...
Gah, relativity headache ><. I was about to perform the calculations, but I realized something - how the hell does one measure time traveling light speed? Would a person actually age? In any case, in a period of time that appeared as 90 years to a person in space (given that perspective doesn't somehow change at lightspeed travel) a person would be aged 1,942,655,127,840 Julian years - at least according to my math.
But there's one thing you have to keep in mind...
THE TUNNEL IS ONLY SO WIDE
:V
;__; i'm in astronomy....i should know this! well, if just goes to show that i lack the sophistimacatated brain that all of you possess.
well......maybe not, but i'm smart in other ways. :3

aurora your answer was right. nejin "love hina" is not counted as a classical work, i am sorry.
oh, and your computer could also be slow from all the worms and such you got from internet porn night. =D
It helps to pay attention in class :P.
Of course, I'm one to talk, but I did pay attention in that class - it's why I passed with a C even w/out a book (we'd only cover half the material that would be on tests, the rest you were expected to read in book). Anyway, what the hell is Nej going on about, is dis sum SyFy (har) reference I'm missing? TUNNELTUNNELTUNNELTUNNEL, dammit I'm a doctor not a mole!
Well traveling at the speed of light away from earth will make it impossibly complicated, since in that case Einsteins Relativity Theory kicks in, wich means that if you'd travel that direction at those speeds, time would for you go in a different "speed" so to say than on earth, and you can toss the books away... You'll need practical data on that and since mankind has only managed to make photons travel at more than lightspeed, we cannot measure the timespan of a human traveling at the speed of light away from eart... BTW even if we were to send a human out on such a quest, we wouldn't receive data on that matter in our lifespan, because our methods of communication are still traveling at the speed of light so if he were to travel 90 lightyears and then die, we would know about it in approximately 180 years, assuming the signal reaches that far and the signal is indeed transmitted at the speed of light to us...
The answer is:
He can live for 90 years...from HIS viewpoint...
For some physics lesson: TIME GOES SLOWER WHEN YOU SPEED SHIT UP.
The tunnel is only so wide is a metaphor I often use when describing time to make n00bs understand (like the people in my physics B class) special relativity. Think of time as a tunnel. You go from point A to point B in this tunnel in a certain amount of time.
There is air in this tunnel. As one travels through it, the resistance from the air slows you. Depending on how fast you travel, time goes at different speeds.
Now here comes the tricky part: The larger one is, the more air resistance slows you. Thus, the bigger you grow, the slower you get. As you approach lightspeed you will travel slower and slower through the tunnel. However you cannot reach lightspeed because this disallows you from traveling through the tunnel at all: THE TUNNEL IS ONLY 299,792,458 m/s WIDE. Thus if one does reach lightspeed one stops ones travel through the tunnel, and moves within the same frame. As such it does not matter how long he lives in that state, because we cannot perceive the changes; That means, from our PoV, he should be able to live for as long as his craft can maintain lightspeed, providing this is above 90 years from his viewpoint, ergo 90 LY; however this is not true since we cannot perceive (and thus not age) anything at lightspeed since our senses are dependent on time. Thus, he is able to live for as long as his craft can maintain lightspeed, PLUS 90-his current age. (this is providing that he stops moving at relativistic speeds once he gets out of lightspeed).
Damn, that was a fux'd up question, wasn't it -w-;
Now then, for some crap.
I create, I destroy, I claim, I annihilate. All things I make are my own arms. I am hunted by humans, aliens and zealots alike. Few stand with me, and all I fight - all but the one who made me.
WHO(what) AM I?
A star?
...I don't even see where you are coming from here. >.>
(that means no, you're wrong)
Is that you, God?
galaxy octopus human the goddes shiva :]
in reference to my class, i've been out sick 25 days this year. (they're asking for a dr note for future absences xD on a sad note, i kinda think i have whooping cough :[ )
Excuse the lack of rhyming (I am not good with it):
What is it that neither you nor I can see, feel or touch, but English-speaking persons can have it, not that it makes a difference?
Air
Nah, the air is visible in NYC. Gotta be something else.
That's smog... And a person can have an air about him/her...
Although i have to say that that is more a trait those frogs- erm, damned cheese-eating surrender-monkeys-eerm, french have...
No, it's not air. You can feel it (wind is air). Pay attention to "English-speaking persons can have it". That means there are some that can't have it (if they are following the rules of their language).
Secondary languages?
U's spammed everywhere?
Down-to-the-bonemarrow-crappy grammar, sentencing and punctuation?
Damn, I can't imagine anything!
Ok, the answer is "nothing". You can't feel it, you can't touch it or see it, but you can have it as in "I have nothing". But there are languages where this is incorrect.
YAY, RIDDLE THREAD REVIVAL!! <D
and now, one for the people....

NO my gawd people!! it's not too hard!!! O___O;

stable, unstable, and FAT. ^^
but FAT is favourite....
no wonder they come from japan ^^
FAT? As in the file format, FAT?
FAT32? o_O
Is that it?
NO NO NO
YOU'RE OVERTHINKING IT O____O
Well, he said FAT is favourite, so it may not be FAT itself, but something related to FAT.
"Norton loves and hates..."
HAY >:[
I'M A SHE. SHE!!!
and you're still overthinking it.
to solve the riddle grasshopper, forget all of your nerd training. look at it from the standpoint of an avarage person. -w-
Oooh...THAT kind of fat.
The obese kind.
Stupid omnidirectional words. -.-
Stable, yet unstable and fat.
Some sort of oil?
good job nejin! but.......character, not substance. so no on the oil theory.
THINK. who out of the characters in the gallery have an excessive amount of fat on their body?
...no, she has an excessive amount of PROTEIN OVERLOAD in her body, because all she eats is MEAT, OI OI.
But Saseko, I guess.
YAY!!! SOMEONE ACTUALLY SOLVED ONE OF MY RIDDLES! EVEN IF HE ONLY GOT PART OF IT!!
now come on, people. using the clues i've already given you, can you figure out who the other characters are?

Quote from: "NejinOniwa"...no, she has an excessive amount of PROTEIN OVERLOAD in her body, because all she eats is MEAT, OI OI.
But Saseko, I guess.
o_O And rice, including bread. That means she's actually eating a lot of good things. EXCESSIVELEH AWF KORZ :O
My answer is...
http://ostan-collections.net/wiki/2003_Server
Well, there's always Moseko (XP-MCE-tan). She's a helluva lot fatter than Saseko. Hell, Saseko's positively svelt compared to Moseko.
Quote from: "Red_Machine"Well, there's always Moseko (XP-MCE-tan). She's a helluva lot fatter than Saseko. Hell, Saseko's positively svelt compared to Moseko.
WTF is 'svelt' anyway.
I tried to eat a lot like Sase.. I mean Xp-tan but I had to crap so hard lolz XP
...not quite sure if want there...
NO NO NO NO no.......*weeps* just......forget it. just f-ing forget it. nejin came the closest, hell, he actually got pert of it RIGHT. dear god people, is it THAT hard??? ;269
i-i'll be over there........saseko is one of the right answers. please, remember that....if you don't get it by my next post i give up. >___<
All of the XP-tans? XP home? XP professional?
F.A.I.L.
twas XP-tan, ME-tan, and 2k-tan, people. shrioshly....
moving on.....
Multiple answers are cheating, you. -.-
NO
THEY'RE NOT
I MADE THE DAMN RIDDLE AND IT WAS THERE IN THE CLUES
I DECLARE ORE NO TURN
My first is neither shaft, nor head,
but the wound left by the hammer.
My second carries meanings that differ,
but what I seek is neither name nor port,
but elusive strangeness.
I am overrated in my power.
I am hungered after by those who watch.
I am the first climax, the turning point
where the good came and went
and the dull replaced it.
WHAT AM I NOW, EH
the first part of the first part sounds so dirty........
the entire second part sounds like the plotline of a book.
A MYSTERY NOVEL? *o*
try harder.
um.....you?
The good came and went, and the dull replaced it? That sounds like a TV show that went bad.
Now we're getting closer, mah boi.
... can't get much better than that. "Wound left by hammer"+"elusive strangeness" = answer, I guess?
Quite so.
HINT: Kubo Tite is an asshole, really.
Okay Google-tan, who is Kubo Tite?
Added after 6 minutes:
Scratch google-tan, she's gone on strike. Bing-kun, go!
Added after 59 seconds:
It's Bleach isn't it.
If none of them can find this, they both suck royally.
Or Zombiepower, now that I think about it.
Added after 43 seconds:
Thanks, Wikipedia-tan
This can't get anymore confusing. o_O
/me heads 'splodes.
You need moar specifics.
More specific than the name of the Anime/Manga?
Think about the second part again.
It's essentially the thing that screwed shit up.
I'm guessing it's ether the Musicals, Films, TCG, or the Video game.
I dedicate this post to thank the infernal fires I was born of that nobody has made a Bleach musical yet.
You don't seem to be very enthusiastic about this, so I'll just discard it.
The wound from a hammer is a B&, making the first part of the word Ban.
The second part would be quite tricky, maybe, but if I give you Kubo Tite, bleach author, and Ban, the first half of the word, as well as the fact that this made this particular series dull and boring (which is what the second half of the riddle is on about) one could quite simply (with some acceptable wikipedia skills) realize that the sought second half was Kai, which means strangeness (hells, there's a wikipedia entry for it, even!) in moonspeak - put them together and you have BANKAI, which was the answer none of you could get.
You make Sméagol sad.

wow.....and i thought MINE were hard.

Well...
At least, I haven't been forced to see them yet...
...THIS COULD END BADLY. O_O
*pat pat* it's ok, although Bleach is kind of the wrong anime to make a musical out of (it's bad enough they did sailor moon).
anyway, to answer your qwestion, sora, no. though they are related.
They are all mothers?
no. :[
You've only given us 2 clues: Mothers day, and entwined by the portal.
Not much to go on...
Is it GLaDoS?
....no......think of another meaning of "portal". portal sounds like porte, which is spanish for......
Transport? And mothers day...
?????????????????????????????
You make these impossible on purpose, don't you.
Added after 1 minutes:
They are all going to see their mothers?
GAH
LE PORTE. SPANISH OR FRENCH FOR WINDOW. THEY ARE BOTH WINDOWS. NOW FIGURE IT OUT.
and to think....i didn't think this one was all that hard.....
They're both Windows, one's a mother, and apparently they're both children?
This is hard...
I don't know of any "mother" windows, but windows 2000 takes care of ME...
That's not it, is it.
Ummm....
You could consider any of the windows systems to be the 'mother' of the next one in the line...
When was the last time someone got one of your riddles?
Windows NT-tan is the mother of 2K-tan, the XP-tans, Vistan and Windows 7-tan. And sometimes she's portrayed as looking like a child., and Windows 1.0-tan is the mother of the DOS-based Windows-tans.
Hmmm...
Two children (guessing they're girls considering they're Windows-tans) united by mothers day. Who is the person that unites them?
The two Windows-tans most often associated with each other are the 98 girls, and they are portrayed as children, too. I'm guessing their mother would be 95-san or 3.1-sama. I think going back as far as Windows 1.0 or 2.0 is stretching it a bit.
most of my riddles are assoiated with the ANIME aspect of the -tans, NOT the tech aspect. (that is what makes these riddles tricker; there's two sides to the subject matter! >w< )
anyway, aurora cracked the basics, and red_machine is expanding on that.
sure, they birthed ALL ofthe -tans, but which ones do they mother the most?
[confession]
I've never seen the Anime...
[/confession]
FACT ALERT!!!
There is no anime.
The "anime" consists of two separate opening sequences.
I believe Choco is referring to the personality aspects of of the -tans.
I still can't figure the riddle out though...
aurora was the closest. USE HER ANSWERS!!! WHO DOES THOSE TWO PEOPLE MOTHER MOST?????
oh ans prety much all my riddles are based off the fandom. :3
it's a good chance for the noobs and newbs to LEARN~
If you mean which of their daughters the two mother Windows-tans are closest to, then 1.0-tan is the closest to 2.0-tan, NT-tan is closest to Inu-T and 2K-tan.
Of the canon Windows-tans/Windows Family faction, NT-tan and 95-tan are portrayed as the mother figures, even though 95-tan is actually the big sister to most of the DOS-based Windows-tans. Kinda strange since 3.1-tan and MS-DOS-tan are still part of the family and are older than them!
1.0-tan and 2.0-tan were banished from the Windows Family faction during the OS Wars. 98-tan and the later Windows-tans do not know of their existence. 3.1-tan, NT-tan and 95-tan know of them, but cannot and do not speak of them at all. Sad, isn't it? :(
IS THAT THE ANSWER??!!!???!!?!?!?
NO, SORA, YOU ARE THE ANSWER.
And then Sora was eaten by the zombies.
Moved to forum games.. its more of a game then a discussion.
[sarcasm]
I feel pretty good for someone eaten by Zombies.
[/sarcasm]
oh god necropost, and this was moved to the game forum? oh lawls.
AND AURORA YOU FIGURED OUT THE RIDDLE IT WAS 2.0-TAN AND INU-T-TAN~~~
