"This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down."
-J.R.R. Tolkien (The Hobbit)
Does anyone remember the answer to the riddle?

Is it time??
Did you cheat??? :op
Yes it's time. Since we can't stay off of that topic, I thought I'd bring a little Gollum into it. :~)
Actually (believe it or not) I didn't cheat!! I remembered one of the answers in the book had to do with time and since that has been your topic as of late it only seemed appropriate!! So.....is there some kind of prize I get for getting the right answer?? :~P
Yup! You get the title of "winner"! Congratulations...you won against...um...well...YOU! :~p
Enjoy the moment (you know...the MOMENT: stillness without fixity...the dance...the rose garden... the whole deal! (Don’t worry…if you were to time the moment of your triumph, it will probably be short lived).
Actually, you should get a prize just for coming back to my blog. Hmmm...let's see...I know! I dub thee "Niick, The Reoccurent"!
After you said what it was I did remember it.But I could not of told you of the top of my head.
Hey now!! I've been rather busy with my blog! Some pesky visitor has been questioning me to death (however, rightly deserved considering my lack of clarity). But still!! :~P
BTW, I shall relish in the label of "winner"! Its got a nice ring to it! hehe...
Desiree and Dalynn-
I was the same way reading the book. I've come to see that answering riddles really isn't my "gift".
Now I just inflict the questions on other victims…haha! :o)
As for YOU…
Oh that’s right…you’re that guy that runs that “not so daily type” blog aren’t you?
But if you’ve been “busy” with your blog, then why haven’t you answered your “pesky visitor’s” questions?
Anyway, do relish the moment…I mean for you they’re so few and far between. :~p
(…btw, that’s another score for me…haha!)
