So, Vigo is in the recent Ghostbusters game

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7doOFjy2OYM

and has many predictions from the future. In one,
he predicts the outcome of the OJ trial:

"I see the evil of the times to come. The glove won't fit."

In a really interesting one he says:

"I see the evil of the times to come. Three more far away wars will come and they will tarnish even the undisputed glory of the first three."

They seem so obvious once you figure them out.

I love this thread!! :D

You cut my head without staining me red,
then cry over me when I am dead.

Got it.. It's an onion, isn't it?

Here's one that's pretty easy without any maths. I certainly don't want to encourage any more of those type of "riddles".

A man was on his way home. He saw a masked man standing in his path holding something in his hand. He turned and ran back the way he came. What did the masked man have in his hand?

Most obvious answer is a gun...which means that's not it.

Man, some of these are really tricky or are very open.  It could be a sign that says, "Hey Mister, you left your keys at the office and your wife's been wondering where you are for over an hour."  I dunno.

It's the "masked" part that baffles me. These kind of riddles require out of the box thinking.

This is one I read in a magazine years ago:

A man is slowly dragging himself on the road. He has a thimble in his hand. Suddenly he lifts his head, looks up and realizes where he is: in front of an hotel. Defeated, he shouts "I'm ruined!!" and collapses on the ground.

Explain what just happened.

A sunset?

The sunlight piercing rain clouds?

An ocean sunset specifically?

I dunno.

none of these, sorry.

Closer.

But you're close. Ohh, so close.

Edit. oh, saw your correction just now.

doubleKO said:

The sky?

 

-I just had one of those weird moments where I wasn't sure if I spelled "sky" correctly, or if it was even a real word.

yeah, like gym.. what's a gym?

no, it's not the sky.

I just meant that we usually have no more than two nipples, not a flock of them. ;)

No, but somehow appropriate cos you're very, very cold.

A nipple?

no...

How many do you have, if it isn't too much too ask? I checked and I don't have a "flock" :P

 I would totally go for some kind of audio line-in modification.

I've fantasized sometimes about putting a couple of rca female plugs into my body and being able to listen to music without using my ears. Who knows, maybe in the future we'll be able to do that, with deaf people benefiting from this.

Hot.

yeah that's probably what I'd listen to

The answer was:

THE LETTER.

Damn, I was thinking about guessing that. 

Remember, Grasshopper, simplest answer always right answer.

You_Too said:

Ok, another guess for Leonardo: The written word.

The answer was:

THE LETTER.

It was the first one given, if I recall.

Remember, these are ancient riddles. They predate today's technology.

Empires are built at my mercy
And in my rage they flee in a hurry
I am consumed, yet I can devour
I bring thunder when you feel my power
I am Heaven's vein to whom men pray
Yet I can bring you to the gates of Hell where Cerberus stays

Hmmmm... Fire? The flames are consumed by the wind, yet they can devour.

darth_ender said:

For your flock of sheep one, the best answer I can come up with is a bouquet of wilting red roses, and quite frankly, that's a terrible answer :(

No, sorry. :)

It's got no mouth,
      but it talks.
It's got no feet,
      but it sure does travel.

Time?

a river?

light? 

sound?

footprints?

No to all of those, sorry Warb

Yes, and many of the answers given to my second riddle really do fit, but only one will I accept, as it's the one I was given.

No takers for the first riddle? I'll post it again.

I have a flock of red sheep.

When they cry, they all weep.

Oh, and it was a vacation away from worky. 

Sorry, I must not have calibrated my TV audio properly.

P.a.t. m4n suggests you use "The sound of music" DVD
