Riddles and Brainteasers

Post away. Give us some time to figure it out, then post the answer whenever you want.

I'll start off with an extremely easy one.



For some reason, I can't help but think Radical Moderate has some stored away...

Answer: "You are a cutie pie"

Here's one that's not too difficult to reason out:

We hurt without moving.
We poison without touching.
We bear the truth and the lies.
We are not to be judged by our size.
What are we?

Okay . . . Here's one that I recall, vaguely, from many years ago:

A couple of guys are driving down the road, without a map or a GPS system, attempting to get to a certain village somewhere in the hinterlands of the English countryside or wherever. They come to a five-way fork in the road, but someone has knocked one of those old-style directional signs into the ditch. How do they know which of the roads to take to get to their desired destination?

Pick up the signpost and point the correct sign to their origin. That way they know the sign is oriented correctly. But maybe this is too practical of an answer?

An interviewer? Late night show host? Psychologist????

The "guys" will never get this one...

How do you keep a woman in suspense?

Take her for a drive and then floor the car to 100MPH holding a knife in your hand while stroking it saying over and over "almost there".

Yup. Fairly easy. As if easy was a synonym for practical. =)
I think a woman could be kept in suspense by (after following Pluto's path) arriving at The Round Barn in Arcadia and telling her to sit in the corner, yet Martin's puzzle has me . . . intrigued.

(in this case, "intrigued" is a semi-synonym for "baffled" . . .)

Any other guesses?
