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? |

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." |
