    OK, here's a riddle passed on by a friend who is trying to solve it. I'm hung over and don't give a shit. If you like riddles, post your answer or email it to (Tanya) STORM56@webtv.net

    Here's the riddle:

    a word there is of plural number foe to ease and tranquil slumber any other word you take and add an "s" will plural make; but if you add an "s" to this so strange the metamorphisis; plural is now plural no more and sweet what bitter was before.

    WHAT IS THE WORD?

    was asked at a party last night, what are the three words in the english language that contain the letters n-g-r-y in that order? besides hungry and angry.

    i hate you both. now i'll be thinking about both of these all day.

    ok, here are the answers:

    lumber - a plural noun because it means "a whole bunch of pieces of wood." it keeps you up at night because you are a bleeding-heart type who is deeply concerned with the ravages of clear-cut logging and general deforestation.

    you add an -s to the previous word and get slumber - a noun meaning "a total lack of consciousness in which you couldn't give a rat's ass about forests, trees, woodland creatures, oyxgen, etc." which is sweet.

    answer 2:

    ungryphonlike - "conduct unbecoming a mythical creature with the head and body of an eagle and the body of a lion."
