Riddle me this
   

Besides dropping a comment here and there the most fun I have here are the little game forums...

So how about riddles? Im sure collectively we know a couple of good ones
Im interested to see what other logical minds are out there and what they have learnt

I'll start with a good one, hard for some and not others

You are travelling along a road when up ahead it forks left and right. In the middle there is a house with a sign saying "One of these paths leads to death, the other to life. Enquire inside"

There are two brothers inside the house. They are identical in all ways except that while the one can only lie, the other tells only the truth.

You get to ask one question, the same question, to both brothers.

What do you ask them in order to take the path that leads to life???

Gah, I've heard this one before but didn't get the answer then. Think, think...

"Which path would your brother say leads to death?" - both will answer the wrong path, since the truth-teller knows that his brother is going to lie, and the liar lies about which path his brother would say. So if you ask about the path to death, both will say which path leads to life.

Riddles are fun.

EDIT: Darn, too late.

Here's an old goodie.

'Twas in heaven pronounced, and 'twas muttered in hell,
An echo caught faintly the sound as it fell;
On the confines of earth 'twas permitted to rest,
And the depths of the ocean its presence confessed;
'Twill be found in the sphere when 'tis riven asunder,
Be seen in the lightning and heard in the thunder.
'Twas allotted to man with his earliest breath,
Attends him at birth, and awaits him in death,
Presides o'er his happiness, honor, and health,
Is the prop of his house, and the end of his wealth.
In the heaps of the miser 'tis hoarded with care,
But is sure to be lost on the prodigal heir.
It begins every hope, every wish it must bound,
With the husbandman toils, and with monarchs is crowned.
Without it the soldier, the seaman may roam,
But woe to the wretch who expels it from home!
In the whispers of conscience its voice will be found,
Nor e'en in the whirlwind of passion be drowned.
'Twill not soften the heart; but though deaf be the ear,
It will make it acutely and instantly hear.
Yet in shade let it rest, like a delicate flower,
Ah... breathe on it softly, - it dies in an hour.

A man parks his car in front of a hotel. He's ruined. Why?

Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?"

A mountain

As for my riddle, H was correct!

How about this one:

I fly through the air on small feather wings
Seeking out life, destroying all things
