EDIT- 3. Re or Ra. Ra-Hokakhty, "Horus of Horizon" and Atum "All".

Though, Atum is refered to when talking about the god who created the world out of chaos, i think.

It's all about frame of reference. You said every sense, so I assumed you meant from the perspective of all time and space. Meaning is solely a function of the people who seek it. The universe doesn't care about it's own meaning and therefore has none.



EDIT - I've decided I'm going to collect goldstars. I'll start with just the star Xianti gave me. REWARD ME WITH STARS!

Riddle me this 'rilla

There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. Everyone knows what the third one means and what it stands for. Everyone uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word.

What is it?

Aces, that riddle was tough. I had to think about it for a while and it was just hard to picture. I ran through 3 answers before finally getting it, I think.

Woops. Using the restrictive 'that' makes your riddle implode. There are, in fact, zero words in "the english language" that end in "gry".

I think it's usually written:
'Hungry' and 'Angry' are two words that end in -gry. There are three words in the english language, etc....

Rilla, I've got a good one:
Name something, ANYTHING, that's less interesting than Brad & Angelina.

My attempt #1 (this should be easy.)

You're playing Russian Roulett. The villian places 2 bullets in adjacent chambers. He spins and shoots first, CLICK. He hands the gun to you and tells you that you can spin the chamber if you want. Should you spin and why?

I'll take it.

No. If his shot was empty, there is only one position which would get you in trouble out of 4 possible. You are at a 75% success rate here versus the 66.67% you get from a random spin.

My attempt #1 (this should be easy.)

You're playing Russian Roulett. The villian places 2 bullets in adjacent chambers. He spins and shoots first, CLICK. He hands the gun to you and tells you that you can spin the chamber if you want. Should you spin and why?
Obviously, the n00b answer is spin again (Since this is being presented to me as a riddle, the obvious answer is always wrong). The theory behind it being that you're getting 2:1 instead of 3:2. So clearly, it's wrong.

I suppose you'd go again becuase the bullets are next to each other act as "one chamber" since the second one is sort of neglected (you'll never get to it, since the first bullet is in the way) So it's like you've got 3:1 (3 open spaces and 1 filled out of "4" remaining)

You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

I'll take it.

No. If his shot was empty, there is only one position which would get you in trouble out of 4 possible. You are at a 75% success rate here versus the 66.67% you get from a random spin.
Wrong thread, the stump Uncle Buddy thread is just below.

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
Why are hot dogs sold in packages of 10 but hot dog buns sold in packages of 8?

And,

Why do 24 hour gas stations have locks on their doors?

1) So they can sell more bun packages.

2) So they can lock the doors when they are closed. Just becuase they claim to be 24 hour gas station does not mean they will never close. Or alter their policy. Or get shut down.
