0 Guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Some of the clues lead me here, some lead away. Joseph Smith, Jr.? Last name was Smith (named for an Ironworker) and he "worked metal" with the whole golden plates thing. Not too sure about people hiding from him though. And the "in the palms of hands" line could refer to the Book of Mormon constantly being distributed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pickett Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Chuck Norris god No and No...good guesses though could it be...Paul Bunyan? It is not Paul Bunyan...it is a real historical figure (could be living, could be dead...) Big Bad John Nope, it is a real person...not just a song. Good guess though Joseph Smith, Jr.? Last name was Smith (named for an Ironworker) and he "worked metal" with the whole golden plates thing. Not too sure about people hiding from him though. And the "in the palms of hands" line could refer to the Book of Mormon constantly being distributed? Hmm...I like the thought process, but alas, it is incorrect. But hey, to add to your thoughts, a lot of people "hide" from Jehovah's witnesses when they come around door to door (not saying I am one of them...just commenting that I know a lot of people do)...but the answer is still incorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 CaptainEd Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Eisenhower. Means "Iron Cutter", is on the face of some American money, is probably the name of an airport somewhere. I'm sure someone says he was the best (especially in WWII). As an avid golfer, he used irons a lot. I don't get the "nobody knows where he is"...

I'm sure someone says he was the best (especially in WWII). As an avid golfer, he used irons a lot. I don't get the "nobody knows where he is"... I actually like your answer. But you are correct in that that doesn't meet all the criteria...as a result, it is not the correct answer. Well thought out answer, though...

Question
Pickett
This one may be a bit easier...enjoy
I'm sure you've heard
No one's greater than me
I'm the best there has been
In the whole of history
Ironworker by name
and work it I did.
I used it for my glory
and from me, many hid.
I see millions of commuters
to and from many lands.
My face can be seen
in million's of hands.
No one knows
where I am right now
Solve this riddle
and to you I will bow...
