Title: good luck with this one!
Post by nevadadrifter on Dec 13^th, 2007, 3:12am

Theres something special about Washington,
and the heart sometimes rules the head
which can often affect ones health,
but thats not all, discover and calculate the end result.

I am completely stumped on this one. Washington can mean so many different things. Washington D.C., Washington state, George Washington. Booker T Washington, George Washington Carver.... the list can go on forever. I'm assuming it is referring to either George Washington (special perhaps because he was the first president) or D.C. (special because it is the nation's capital), but I am not certain.

Another seemingly dead end would be that the head/heart/health makes up 3/4 of the 4-H motto (head, heart, hands, health), but that provides no connection to any Washington I can find.

Lastly, "discover and calculate the end result" makes me think it may be mathematical in nature, but again I am uncertain.

Does anyone have any idea where this riddle may be going?

if Washington means D.C. I think head might refer to congress. my other idea is that it might have something to do with the phrase "do what you feel is right, not what you think is right"

Of course there is no one who can verify any answer--so what's the use?

[hideb]"E Pluribus Unum" (Out of Many, One -- Eagle & Shield)
"Novus Ordo Seclorum" (New Order of the Ages -- Pyramid & Eye)
The Shield could be the Heart, thus the One could rule the Many...
which affects one's health in many ways.
I do not know what the end result could be,
but the beginning would be 1776

Is this something out of one of Dan Brown's books?
