Riddles

[Bill Phil]

Slide rules were invented in Europe!

Texas, eh?

Texas Instruments calculators? Like a TI-83?

[GoSlash27]

Liquid paper correction fluid?

[cantab]

None of those so far. Newpage repost

The title backed up by no tests,

Loved by our teacher nonetheless.

Invented down south in Texas,

For some time now it's been pointless.

It looks like some much better known,

But looks do lie, for it's its own.

Just make a guess! What is the worst,

that could happen? Let's end this verse.

[Bill Phil]

Hint? If it isn't related to TI I don't know.

[cantab]

It's nothing to do with Texas Instruments. Other things have been invented in Texas.

[vexx32]

Hmm. Semiconductors? Dr. Pepper? DRAM?

[cantab]

Dr. Pepper?

Dingdingding! We have our winner. And great, it's you again.

Explainy:

The title backed up by no tests, - It's a "Dr" but it doesn't have a degree

Loved by our teacher nonetheless. - KSP streamer DasValdez is known for it

Invented down south in Texas, - Obvious

For some time now it's been pointless. - Quite literally. 'Dr' originally had a point, ie a full stop/period, after it, but that was removed

It looks like some much better known, - Coke and Pepsi

But looks do lie, for it's its own. - It tastes different

Just make a guess! - filler

What is the worst that could happen? - Nearly verbatim, the drink's advertising slogan in the UK.

Let's end this verse. - filler

You know what the best part is? The first thing that came to my mind was Dr. pepper, but I figured there's no way it could be right. *sighhhh*

Time for another torture session, I suppose?

A side note reminder: Me and Mariyate have dueled in Zelda II, and it was epic! We were there for like 5 minutes or something. Sorry we never got to show it... But we can always do it again! I always put up a recording if anyone wants. [We duel by having her take control of Shadow Link, in case you're curious]

I was literally going to say that in my next post, but I stopped myself thinking that it couldn't be right.

*storms off*

Don't limit your answers: You have no idea what these riddles are applying to.

It was the "loved by our teacher" part that caught me. I don't know who DasValdez is, so I thought it couldn't be Dr. Pepper because teacher's don't necessarily love Dr. Pepper.

Sorry forgot to check the date

DBmorpher, please wait your turn...

Vexx Was the last person to get an answer right and it is his turn. According to the Opening post he gets 3 days to create a new riddle

[vexx32]

I am the brother of the echoes

From the sheer stone mounds,

The cousin of the ripples

Upon the tranquil forest ponds,

The uncle of the phantom breeze

From deep beneath.

I exist everywhere, from

Crowded town to silent heath,

The oft-forgotten twin to

The twinkling stars' bounds.

Who am I?

​A bit of a shorter one this time, and I hope I've not made it too vague...

[Janos1986]

Uhhh, sound?

I doubt it is that simple, but I'll try anyway.

[vexx32]

Sorry, nope.

[cantab]

Waves? 10char

[vexx32]

Not that either.

(But it does look like I've made it a bit too vague after all... Sigh.)

[Starwhip]

Is it sound?

(I am in a hurry, might find a better answer in a couple minutes! )

Gahd damn, it was already guessed.

[Xannari Ferrows]

Well lets see. The answer is not sound, but sound does produce seismic waves. That isn't correct either, but something else does. Like, micro quakes or rumbles.

Something along those lines.

...I'm getting closer, right?

[dbmorpher]

A shadow.

10 chars

[vexx32]

A shadow.

10 chars

Dangit.

I need to make these a lot harder in future.

Well done -- your move.

[dbmorpher]

Hehehe alright here goes...

I cause fear and hope and joy and depression

I am never taught in any lesson

I hold infinite infinities

The next step in reality

My stories you could never imagine

Though if you come close you'll be read by millions

I can never really be truly breached

My lands you will never reach

What am I?

Have fun, it's probably really easy though

[Bill Phil]

Dangit.

No, no, no! Make them easier!! I'm begging you!!

[vexx32]

Hum. Adulthood?
