Riddle me this...

Kudos to anyone who get's this. I don't think you'll find the answer on the net, but regardless, I'd ask you all not too look but to figure it out.

According to statistical analysis, what is the most dangerous job in America.


If you want to guess, use invisible or tiny print so others won't accidentally see it.

Hmm. This is weird. Let me see. It could be dentist, since they have highest suicide rates, but I don't think it's too dangerous. I do think that the fact that you said in america is a clue, meaning that it is not dangerous in africa or asia, or it doesn't even exsist. The one thing I hate about this kind of questions is that I don't know if they want a serious answer or a "smartass" answer.

I think I heard a while ago on the news that it was
lumberjacks (or whatever they're called now)
but really, we know that it should be
President- 8 out of 42 (19%) died while "on the job"

I think I heard the same as SK (
actually, I think they said "timber cutters"
), but I like her logic for
presidents
as well.

Fishers did make 2nd place. Of course, there aren't enough astronauts or presidents to even qualify to be counted. Anyway, you know what they say about statistics.

How about this riddle:

You have two coins in your pocket, they total to 30 cents. A nickel is not one of them.

What are the two coins?

I will not reveal the answer until someone gets it. (this took me like, 5 minutes, sadly enough)

You worded it wrong! it's supposed to say "One of them isn't a nickle"
If I'm not mistaken the way you worded it changes the meaning of the sentence... But I could be wrong...

One is a quarter, one is a nickle! The quarter is not a nickle!

w00t! I can recall random bits of news!

Does anyone else think that "Riddle me this" should be followed by "Batman?" or have I just watched Batman Forever too many times?

The answer is a nickel and a quarter. One might not be a nickel, but the other is (-:

I think it's
a quarter and a nickel. It's true, a nickel is not one of them- a nickel is not a quarter, right?

Riddle me this Batman...

What has four legs, a tail, eats oats and hay and sees equally well from both ends?


I don't think this one is too difficult.
