Tell me if i'm wrong. I admit that this riddle will stretch a little literally speaking, alliteration pardoned I'm sure. But no, 'nothing' is stretching these lines too far. Grammatically joking aside, good try, but another word does better apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 ...are your little nicknames for them - "seven is heaven," "eight is great" - ok, so the riddles are good, too - nice and creative. I guess HOSPITAL on this one. I am 98% sure it's incorrect, but for some reason it's jumping out at me. I will try to think of better answer.

0 itachi-san Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Both largeneal and LIS are close, but no cigar. Too early for a more substantial hint methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I would say a doctor, cuz you only go to the doctor when you are not well, but the doctor comes to you (or your significant other) when giving birth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 snake poison. If you come to it (get bitten) you could die. But if you are bitten and you wait for the vaccine, it could allow you to live. (the vaccine being made from the poison) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the vaccine being made from the poison) This is the closest answer so far. the answer has more than one meaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hopefully, without giving the riddle away here: the answer not only has different meanings but also can represent two completely different things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) Do people still want to give this a go? Should I post the answer? I can't think of any more hints Edited April 5, 2008 by itachi-san Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Do people still want to give this a go? Should I post the answer? I can't think of any more hints I'm still racking my brain on this one, but so far I can't think of anything that fits your conditions that hasn't already been posed. I'd hate for you to post the answer and then I give in to temptation and look, only to find it's something that should be obvious. So for now, I'd say hold off on posting, but just my opinion. Still looking for that Eureka! moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grey cells Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Come to me and I bring death Await me and I bring life Old age. I know it is not possible , but it fits the riddle nicely . maybe Elixir of life , i.e. the philosopher's stone , could also fit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 maybe Elixir of life , i.e. the philosopher's stone , could also fit . Old age. I know it is not possible , but it fits the riddle nicely . Not quite sure how old age fits the riddle. When talking about old age, wouldn't coming to it and awaiting it be the same thing? Given that, it can't have two different outcomes, one of them being life. If I were to argue you're point, I would say the opposite of the riddle would be true. If one awaited old age, then death would come faster because of all the worrying and stress over getting old and dying. The best way to live a long time is to simply accept getting old and not await anything in a pessimistic light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
