Thank you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

@ hef, but whats the question? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

What is it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Alex has been trying to work it out for 14 years now, and I've been trying for 4 years. We're stumped.

Are you sure that it is a riddle? I mean, there doesn't seem asked something.

edit: after using the help of my good friend mister google i found an answer, altough i still don't get what the question is:[color:"#3A495A"] snow[/color]

[color:"#3A495A"]Snow[/color]? Though maybe it just doesn't have an 'answer'?

Faile, are you aware that the consumption of brains causes mad cow disease?

The following question is not rhetorical and was brought to mind by clicking on Faile's link.
What does a vegetarian cannibal eat?

The following question is rhetorical.
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

It sounds right for the first half of the riddle, but what about the rest? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

[color:"#3A495A"]wind[/color]?

Maybe. Can you explain it?

Along came Lord Landless, - what is more landless than wind? Being above everything it is also quite lordly, in the nobleman sense of the word

Took it up handless, - wind can pick things up...

Rode along horseless, - ...and blow them around or along the ground; tumble weeds, snow, whatever

To the King's white hall. - between falling and drifting snow, the hall is bound to get whiter, if it wasn't to start with

That all makes sense, but what is "it"? Snow doesn't tend to leave the ground once it's landed. A white flower, perhaps?

Lord Landless might also be a river?

What could the "castle wall" be? Is it literal?

hee hee. who says i'm not mad already?

Scientists now have found the astonishing hint that the thhing you've called "cow desease" (Creutzfeld-Jakob-Desease) might have something to do with a kind of failed wake.-up from winter rest (what we call "Winterschlaf" in German), because the proteins found to be causing this, were also found in animals making the deep winter rest or winter sleep.

Therefore, the scienticts are puzzled what's actually going on there.

"Snow doesn't tend to leave the ground once it's landed."

Maybe in Australia there isn't enough snow to be blown around, but wind in Canada can cause white outs or reduced visibility long after the snow stops falling, or (much more commonly) just cause snow drifts.


"Lord Landless might also be a river?"

Could be, but rivers don't pick things up as well as wind, and, except for serious design flaws, don't usually ride into castle halls.


"What could the "castle wall" be? Is it literal?"

I took it as literal since there wasn't much to go on otherwise. Perhaps it could be a row of trees or cliff face.
