I like a babe with brains and entrepreneurial sense!
So here’s a riddle in honor of Cindy,
the most downloaded girl on the net!

All of me is Laura,
Some of me comes after Sandra
My first is very American indeed
and a trilogy to boot
and my end is not far away
At all

What am I?

Don’t know about you guys, but I spent last weekend with Harry!
Here’s another Potter-Riddle:

One of four
Bloodline pure
History and secrets
I buried them low and deep

Listened
Spoke
Disagreed
Left

If you heard me speak
You may not understand
But the last words your hear
Were my sole command

I left behind
My virtues; my beliefs
And one day
My work will be finished
Who am I?

Committed by the one he could not name

Now name the leader and his enemy.

I’m a little bit of everything
all rolled into one

You loved me while I loved another
You left me when I loved you back.

My greatest love was for a house
that I got in the end,

As well as an Oscar

I don’t need music to dance
and I don’t need breath to breathe.

and live the rest.

On a schooltrip the teachers organize a little contest. They take four pieces of fruit (an apple, a pear, an orange, and a banana) and put them seperately in closed plastic containers. All the children get to guess which fruit is in which container. 123 children take part in the contest. When they open the containers, the result is that 43 children got none of the containers right, 39 children got one fruit right, and 31 people got two fruits right. So: How many children have guessed three correctly, and how many got all four fruits right? (more…)

I grew up to be a legend
thanks to Star Wars

Pirates of the Caribbean has me,
as does Aladdin,
but Bambi does not

Formed long ago, yet made today;
And most employed when others sleep;
What few would like to give away;
And fewer still to keep.
