Riddles

I think it means "Congratulations you got it right! Here's a cookie"

Okay but still, vowels aren't creatures either. : /

We are five little things, all of a sort. You will find us all in a tennis court.

All in order, too!

...but vowels aren't little, either.

They are five intangible things, all of a concept.
In the language of english you will find them... unless you're inept.

[Jaybar]

Not much of a riddle but I'll try to make it sound like one:

We vowels exist in one spelling,
In the English dictionary you will find our dwelling.

[Khamsin]

Consonants and vowels,
The contents of your bowels,
Both flow freely like turds,
To form sentences and words.

The first is the first of first,
The second is what you sound like,
The third I can see,
And the fourth is okay for the lazy.

The fifth makes you wonder why,
The sixth I might exclaim nonplussed,
And the seventh comes back to you.

It is these consonants and vowels,
Like the contents of your bowels,
That I would say if you were within my view:
_______!

Let's play Petals Around the Rose. There are 3 (and only 3) rules:

1) The name of the game is significant.
2) The answer is always zero or an even number.
3) Anyone who knows the game may give the answer to any roll, but may not disclose the reasoning to new players.

Now, I roll 5 6-sided dice. They turn up 2-3-3-4-4. Solve Petals Around the Rose.

If nobody gets it I'll post the answer to this combination and go again, so you have a chance to figure it out

Bah I usually stump people with this, guess I should expect better results from a group of fellow geeks/nerds/etc ;P

Different puzzle:

How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Par is about half an hour.

I had heard of it before but never worked it out until now. Surprising how so many people take ages to pick up on it.

[Shuemue]

removed so I don't spoil it

No letter e.

Edit: DAMNIT SHUE.

[Shuemue]

not my fault I'm smarter than you *shrug*

[Khamsin]

Now try this one. There is something different with this, too. You will try, but not succeed in finding out. Well, you might. But it could be some time before you do. Unless you're intelligent. But you're likely not. So I'm pretty sure you won't get it.
