@DarkWolf

she got immune to it bc she straight up drank 5? :3

February 1st, 2016

@DarkWolf Maybe the poison was in the ice cubes? So the one who drunk it faster didn't drink the ice because it hasn't melted, but the other one drunk it so slowly that she drunk the ice, too. Is that right?

I am the beginning of sorrow, and the end of sickness. You cannot express happiness without me, yet I am in the midst of crosses. I am always in risk, yet never in danger. You may find me in the sun, but I am never out of darkness. What am I?

I saw a man in white, he looked quite a sight. He was not old, but he stood in the cold. And when he felt the sun, he started to run.

Who could he be?

I have one that's kind of a borderline riddle-- maybe it is more of a play on words. If it's entertaining, all the better. Here goes....

What is the difference between a hippo and a Zippo?

I'm inclined to say the difference is the first letter. But I'm sure the riddle is a bit more clever than that. smiley

@ladylazarus1971

Here's my take on this.
