ThorneTheRed said:A man stands before two identical speaking statues
One always lies, one always speaks the truth
In this room are two doorways, one leads to heaven, one leads to hell
He can only ask one statue one question
What question could he ask to insure that the door he chooses shall lead to heaven?
"IF i were to ask the other statue which was the door to heaven what would he say" (then choose the opposite door)
Rachel I am guessing 'Anger' Edit: good man faceless !
Cinny I am guessing your third one is cancer?
Miss sub some form of medicates ?
Mr A a magnifying glass?
Kriticool , still not getting it
working as hard as Steven hawking putting on a pair of cuff links though

too close and you're too small,
we're perfectly formed to carry it.
Such a simple creation framed
by creation, hanging, aiding.
Another product of man's
search for improvement.
Is it the eye pupil?[/quote]
Damn i almost feel a lil retarded now with my answer...
. good guess..

From nothing, born
into everything void.
Into nothing it returns,
metaphorical wings ignite.
Tranquil calm, tumultuous noise
deafening silence a part of the whole.
Rising from oblivion, emotionless, expressionless,
eating its heart, scorching its thoughts.
It is naught, defining much more than lot,
it is all and one.
A Beast of knowledge, God of impiety,
within divinity and demoniac.
To tame its nerve, for avarice
ensue unrelenting misery.
Amidst patterns and flow, insanity
dwarfed by mere moments, is.
It speaks of instinct, intellect
shatters before its grandeur.
Elucidating nothing, catechizing everything,
a single truth dwells.
Epilogue.
...Man! ?

building; no one can hold it
exploding; tears all inside us
growling; we know its presence
escaping; to make everyone scatter
ensuring; the airs hard to breathe
spreading; all around quick and freely
controlling; the life of all who let it
My guess: Flatus(Could not use the synonym)
(Pardon me if I am wrong.

OMG
I wish I could say you were right because that answer is so much funnier than what it is. SOOOOO fitting...too funny!
Actually Faceless (wanderer) is the one who got it right. Good job![/quote]
Shucks! Thought I had it.
I mean that was the first thing that came to my mind.
