Riddle
RIDDLE, n. Who elects our rulers?
2008 Update: A daughter of the sphinx that tests the wit of boys and the surrender of men.
Riddles? I'm not good at riddles. Aside from wondering just when the little wear in my jeans turned into a gigantic split. The only good news is that it's not in the butt region. My ego couldn't have handled that.
