Riddle #4: (Your name COULD be here)


As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with many lives.
Ten in ten do know his name,
But famed or not, not a penny has he gained.
His brothers are almost exactly like him,
And all of them obey your whims.
Ask any yes or no question - you'll receive no lies,
Who was it coming from St. Ives?

 

[iBizStart]

Abraham Lincoln from the penny

 

[tigga]

Nope!

 

[iBizStart]

St. Ives, a saint?

 

[tigga]

Not St. Ives - St. Ives is irrelevant to the riddle - poetic value only.

 

[iBizStart]

sadaam husein or however u spell it?

 

[tigga]

No - not him either.

 

[stevo]

Is this man fictional?

 

[peter]

my answer in: nobody

by the way, this riddle sounds alot like the one from a die hard movie

 

[tigga]

stevo - Yes
icehole - nobody is not the answer and you are right - the original version of this riddle was asked in a diehard movie!

 

[peter]

I don't really understand this.
Is there really anyone coming FROM st. Ives?

 

[tigga]

Yes - the man in question
