14th Riddle, Monday March 27th 2006 at 16:00 (4 PM) (EST)

"My developpement might seem peculiar to you, since with me the birth arrives before the pregnancy, adulthood before childhood, running before walking, homework before teaching and even death before life. But my constitution is logical, and is even prior to logic itself.
what am I?"

[GM-Pandora]

The answer was:

A dictionary!

It's in alphabetical order!

Birth, which starts with a B, comes before Pregnancy, starting with a P, same with all the other words.

Only 1 winner! Congrats to Cream

Due to rollback we lost the last riddle. Which was:

Only some individuals have this, mostly by choice.
It's on you, but it doesn't add to your weight.
Sometimes it's added on a heartbeat, but you cannot remove it as you see fit.
It can hurt you and your wallet too.
People or society might look at you differently, for better or for worst.

Anyone honestly remember who the winners were?

Another multiple-word riddle. Find each word, then combine them together by taking 1 letter from each word (the one in brakets [_]) to form a final word, for your answer, send the 7 words as well as the final one.

What does that spell, I wonder?

Wasn't Athena the goddes of wisdom?

[GM-Pandora]

Most gods and godesses had more than one circle of influence.

I'd say it's rather known that Athena was the goddess of war, she is usually represented carrying a lance and wearing a battle helmet and shield.

Which does not exclude that she may also have been goddess of wisdom, and goddess of the home too I think.
