Column
No column this week, sorry! We'll replace it with some riddles instead that you can mull over:
~What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?
~I can run but not walk. Wherever I go, thought follows close behind. What am I?
~What goes around the world, but stays in a corner?
~I have holes in my top and bottom, my left and right, and in the middle, but I still hold water. What am I?
~The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?
We'll reveal the answers in next weeks issue. Think you know the answers? Write them in the comment's section below, and be sure to tell us if you would want a permanent riddles section in the newsletter.
