Title: Re: they call me a man.... Post by towr on Nov 29th, 2008, 3:27pm Well, you picked the right season to ask this riddle. Well, ok, it hasn't quite started yet, and it depends on what hemisphere you're on. Hidden text ([hide]like this[/hide]) can be made visible by selecting it. Or hit ctrl-a (which selects everything on the page). Or hit 'quote', which allows you to see the whole post as it was posted. Anyway, if you really just want the answer: [hide]snowman[/hide] If you want to try a few more hints first: -[hide]The season that's relevant here is winter[/hide] -[hide]A hat, shawl and broom are fairly standard equipment for this 'man'[/hide] -[hide]The sun brings death by thawing[/hide] |
