0 plasmid Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 a person being forced to jump off a plank by a pirate.. While that's what it's written to sound like, the title of the riddle rules out anything having to do with a scurvy buckaneer or the like, as is the typical way of my riddling style A jet? A mug o' grog for the sea dog with the lance!it's about a propeller-driven plane rather than a jet, to fit the clue about a blade at the nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plasmid Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 has apparently found a bug in the way polling handles poll options with simply a space; unfortunately this seems to be only an annoyance that doesn't have any real potential to be expoited toward humorous effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shakeepuddn Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hey plasmid. Yeah, prop works best. I was thinking of a pitot/static probe on fighter jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
