In Greek mythology this God of war would sneak behind his half brothers back just to get in the sack with this Goddess! Of course some rumors have it that they were actually married, but regardless I think that he would say that all's fair in these two catagories!

 

Venus? Aphrodite?

The god of war was Saturn right? So it's probably Venus...

 

I thought the god of war was Aries or... what would that be in Greek? Mercury? Mars? One of those, I think. I'm pretty sure it's not Saturn.

 

God of war is Aries :minigun: aka Mars which the planet Mars is named for aka the forth planet in our solar system, the Planet Venus being the second planet in our solar system. Venus and Mars being lovers in mythology but in our solar system the two lovers are separated by a ball of dirt know as the EARTH.

So even though Saturn was the wrong answer Ferret did answer the riddle correctly and that was the point 3

The planet Venus is also know as "The morning star" because early morning is when it is brightest in the sky and can be seen unaided thus the "Queen of the morning who is too round for a throne"

Very clever wouldn't you say :hump:

 

Correct, at least one of the parts. Anyways next:
I run through hills;
I veer around mountains.
I leap over rivers
and crawl through the forests.
Step out your door to find me.

 

A road?

 

An Olympic gymnast, who after running through all that rough terrain with that damn torch, collapse exhausted on your doorstep?

 

Hmmmmmm.... A compass.

 

No.

 

It took me sometime to get this one, until I though what I am dong this weekend: sailing!

It's a sail!

 

You're going sailing, you lucky bugger? I didn't know sails had two skins, but it makes a kind of sense.

 

My weekend also has two skins:
A) My plans
B) My wife's plans

A) Go sailing then go visit father in-law at the farm
B) Hang up new curtains, fix house-hold items, then go visit father at the farm

Sooo....
My plan is to go sailing, but I'll tell you on Monday. :wink:

 

How many people does it take to hang curtains? I think your wife will apreciate it if you keep out of her way, say, by going sailing

 

In normal circumstances, yes. :hump:

But ... not when she's 9 months pregnant :wink:

 

Oh, I see. Well, in that case make sure you take your mobile when you're off sailing, in case she needs to let you know whether it was a boy or a girl :razz:

BTW, I just realised we're still in the riddles thread, so my riddle is this:

How many pregnant people (note the lack of sexist gender-specific word) does it take to hang a pair of curtains?

 

Shouldn't you put the word 'rubber' in there somewhere, as it's a non-specific riddle?!

 

I'm a bit confused. Please select from the following options:

1. How many pregnant rubber people (note the lack of sexist gender-specific word) does it take to hang a pair of curtains?
2. How many pregnant people (note the lack of sexist gender-specific word) does it take to hang a pair of rubber curtains?
3. How many pregnant people (note the lack of sexist gender-specific word) does it take to rubber a pair of curtains?
4. How many pregnant people (note the lack of sexist rubber-specific word) does it take to hang a pair of curtains?
5. How many pregnant people (note the lack of sexist gender-specific rubber) does it take to hang a pair of curtains?

[EDIT]Sorry everyone, I'll stop derailing the thread, now. I'm an idiot.

 

I know none of those adventure-RPG kind of riddles.

So anyway:

"A man walks into a bar, asks for a big glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun, aiming at the man. The man says "Thank you", and leaves the bar happy and satisfied."

Explain that

 

:lol: this should belong in the "Who needs a laugh thread"

 

He has the hiccups. The barman cured him by scaring the bejesus out of him.
