Re: The Sphinx Topic! (aka Riddles)
I have no clue for Thrall's riddle.
But I haz another riddle!
"A man and his dog are found dead in the middle of a dry field. The man was wearing fishing overalls, but had no conventional fishing gear on him. How did they die?"
If you guys feel you need a hint, I'll post it sometime tomorrow.

Is this one your own?
Middle of a dry field with fishing overalls?
He drowned and the lake dried up?

Re: The Sphinx Topic! (aka Riddles)
iunno mine is pretty vague to
Alright heres the answer to mine (since neither of u got it (well technically burn never guessed))
time for The Breakdown! :
Using "down means life and up means death" its a tiny bit safe to assume "their" is referring to gladiators
since they would be gladiators, their lord would be the Emperor of Rome
"Their lord is the opposite of Marcus" Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor, and generally viewed as a good man and a great philosopher
Therefore "their lord" would have to be someone like Commodus, Nero, or Caligula (3 of the worst roman emperors in history, i wanted to put that in the hint but those names are just too roman it would've given it away xD so i went with the opposite of Marcus)
The answer to the original riddle would have been. A gladiator's life. (but the original riddle didnt have a very good way of answering it so i added that second part so now there is an exact answer)
The answer to the new form of the riddle is. Cut the gladiator's head off (meaning thumbs up from the emperor.)
well thats all the time for today on, The Breakdown!, join us again in several days, goodnight everybody....
(*Fun Fact* Contrary to common belief, in ancient rome, Thumbs up meant cut his head off, and Thumbs down meant throw down your weapons, let him live. (wonder how we got to interpreting it as the opposite?))

Re: The Sphinx Topic! (aka Riddles)
That is really...more of a historical question O.O
I knew it had something to do with gladiators
But the opposite of Marcus lead me astray
I didn't think you mean opposite in traits D:
Oh well
Good job.
Burns is annoying me now too >=(

Re: The Sphinx Topic! (aka Riddles)
Haha I'll give you a couple hints.
The dog was a golden retriever
The man was NOT fishing where his body is lying, so no he didn't die in the water and have the lake or river dry up
He was using some pretty volatile bait.
I can't really say more without giving it away (if i havn't already)

An army of mutant fish that can walk on land and breath air decided to take revenge upon this hated foe
the dog killed him and then stayed near his corpse and died of starvation or dehydration
the people that found them are also the ones that killed them
they were struck by lightning because they were the tallest electric conductor in the field
there was a flood, they drowned and when the water dried up were left there in the field
thats all the ideas i got for now... (i like the fish one the most roflmao!)

Re: The Sphinx Topic! (aka Riddles)
I know it...I think...
Fishing with explosives as Thrall said, he threw some and the dog, being a golden retriever, brought it back to him.
KABOOOM
It singed him a bit.
So he tried again.

Re: The Sphinx Topic! (aka Riddles)
fish fell from the sky and all of them blew up on the man and dog
OR
some goldfish thought golden retriever was a goldfish and raped him and then the man tried to stop them so they raped him too..

Re: The Sphinx Topic! (aka Riddles)
Thrall and Zariel pretty much got it right.
The man was fishing with dynamite, threw a stick, the dog went to get it and brought it back to him. He ran away to the field but the dog followed him.
Sorry for the late response, but my internet was down for almost a week.
