0 hugemonkey Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Break + chest? I hope it's as simple as that I though about it and I will go ahead an give you credit. 8. Break each holy man's chest. Break = BR (common abbreviation) each = EA (common abbreviation) holy man = ST (as in "Saint") chest is a synonym for breast In this one the 's could be written out as "is" so that the riddle makes more literal sense but then it would not read as well as a stand alone sentence.
