Title: decorated war antaginist  and more
Post by nabu on Jan 2nd, 2007, 3:10am
Greetings

My name is Michael and I have been fascinated with Riddle, word puzzles and trivia questions as long as I can remember.

I would like to share some of my own Riddle with you.

1. My name is similar to that of a profession. Although I was against war, I was decorated for my participation in one. I begun my political activity in one continent but fought in a second against a country in a third continent. Who am I?

2. I fought in 3 continents. I ruled on a land which I wasn't born in. Although I was a dictator, I brought the message of liberty to the land I conquered. Who am I?

3. One of us is made from the other. We were both symbols of sports groups which almost destroyed our state capitol. What are we?

p.s. - As you can probably see, English is not my first language so feel free to correct me in any form or manner.

Sorry, none of these are correct.

Grimbal - I liked your answers, but the answer to 1 is a real life person and 3 ends with "what are we" and not "who" (although now I am tempted to change the riddles so it will fit your answers …)

Post by Iceman on Jan 5th, 2007, 3:09pm
If I have to say yes or no, I'll say yes, because I don't know anything about new members. Except that they are new. :P
