Yeah, like this was needed


Also, I like Brain Teasers, just not these ones

Since they aren't really brain teasers, they're "Guess the right answer" questions

Here's a riddle/brain teaser I found:

I used to think that I'm important
But now people tell me I'm not.
I can't even control where I'm going.
But I'm quite sure that it's not hot.
I cut in front of other shapes,
Going towards the light.
Now tell me, who am I?
While I wait in everlasting night.


Try and guess that one! I've italicized the major hints in the riddle.

EDIT: also don't say the answer if you've seen this before
It used to be something significant, now it's not what it is anymore. "Not hot" is a major clue, meaning it's probably freezing cold. It's probably far away from sunlight, hence the everlasting light.

Sooooooooo is it *****? Chocked_2

EDIT: whoaaaaa I checked and I'm right Grin
a man tied to a tree with a rope,and under the rope there is a candle,and the rope is starting to cut because of the candle,and there is a lion under the man so if the rope was cut the lion will eat him,wut should he do???
pray to god Tongue_out

I'm fairly certain this is the answer. It coincides with the second line pretty well. Certain men would give their lives for nothing, and others love nothing more than their life.

Although, I like bugturtles answer a lot more.
The usual version of that riddle I've heard was:

What does a rich man want, and a poor man have,
And if you eat it you will die?

I'd argue that the version posted by Shinigami doesn't make as much sense.
Yeah, same here. That's the original version, where the answer applies a lot more to the third part of the question.
