Here's a couple more conundrums from "Riddler 1829" from
The Boys' Own Book since I doubt I'll be posting a third installment (the first two are available by searching this thread for those who missed it):
If the letter D were never used more, why would it be like a dead man?
Answer:
It would be D-ceased (Deceased.)Why are the eye-brows like mistakes? Answer:

I just "graduated" from
enthusiast, which I loved, to
addict, which I'm not really comfortable with staring at next to my name...but it's just a spot of frivolous board-jargon and we move on. And, yes,
stranger did feel like I was wearing
The Scarlet Letter when I first arrived. But, actually I got some fun play out of the name, too. When I posted my first major thread, someone who I've become very friendly with here PM'd me that I certainly fit the designation of
stranger!...which was well-taken and gave me a good laugh, and I sent them back and said so. 'Cause I had to admit, the Neanderthal thread saw some pretty strange posts!
