Unanswered Riddle 12:

Why are we more likely to wreck when we're being "wreckless"?

Johan said...

We aren't. It's "reckless"

Bisceglia Family said...

because we think we are invincible when we are being wreckless.
Boyar Koshan

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Boyar Koshan??? Is this an extra Bisceglia we have not met yet ;)??

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

It's Bethany here...

Johan: Ha! I was going to say, “I’m not”! :)

My thoughts:
If you are going to spell the word “reckless” as “wreckless”, then maybe you should spell “wreck” as “reck”!!! Make sense? You'd have a whole new riddle if that was the case! ;)

(In case that was kind of confusing... "reck" actually means: "to care or mind about something" or "to matter, or matter to somebody"!! :D

~Bethany

Johan said...

It's like career vs. careen:

To career down the hill means to drive crazily without losing control.

To careen down the hill means to drive crazily and out of control.

Daniel Ahrens said...

yep, when noah told me the riddle this morning that was the first thing I thought of: the spelling :). I would agree with everyone else, although I wouldn't have been able to tell you what the meaning of "reck" is.

Miss Shiloh said...

@ Daniel: Reck means to care or matter to somebody

My answer: Wreckless is not in the dictionary. ;)

Daniel Ahrens said...

Shilo: yeah I kinda gathered that from Bethany's comment... :).

The DA

Bisceglia Family said...

Bethany: it seems like you would have guessed that Boyar Koshan is another character from ONE OF MY BOOKS. ;D

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

That was Shiloh that wrote that! (But I already guessed it!)

~Bethany

Bisceglia Family said...

What?!?!?!?! Shiloh didn't sign her name??????? Kathrina would b deeply offended, and so am I! ;) lol

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Ah yes! She would be offended (I learned that the hard way... just kidding:) )... I, of course, NVERE forget to sign my name!

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Um... I never forget... most of the time ;)

~BETHANY

Daniel Ahrens said...

yeah I sometimes never forget. :)

Dan'l

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

@Noah:

My deepest apologies Noah… I didn’t realize that would offend you so. Of course I just thought that “Ebenezer Forest Farm” pretty much showed from whom the comment came and as I was commenting in behalf of the family I didn’t bother with giving the comment an actual sign off, but due to the fact that it was an offence to you I shall try in the future to make it clear as to who wrote the comment. And if you would be so kind… you might just tell that all to Kathrina *before* she gets offended. :)

~Shiloh

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

P.S. Once when I wrote something anonymously and only signed my name with an “~S” may friend emailed me and guessed that it was me… :) Because of the style of my writing… Do you think you could do that? Then I wouldn’t have to bother with writing my name! Saves time!! :)

Signed,

SHILOH DID INDEED WRITE THIS
(and no I’m not yelling at you…. I’m just making it quite obvious—no confusion here). ;)

Anonymous said...

Yes. _I_ can guess you style of writing. Can you guess mine?

Bisceglia Family said...

Well, u have to admit that in one of your comments there was a link that said Miss Shiloh, but I never bothered click on it. Thank you for specifying that you WERE NOT yelling at me, because every time I capitalize my words, I am yelling! :) (that is, trying to get a point across) ;) As to learning the style of your writing, I could only do that if you were writing free-hand. lol

Anonymous said...

hello, anonymous. there's only one clue left, and that is that you write late at night.(well, not late according to some people.) LOL

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Aha! That was Noah who wrote that anonymous comment! Now for the other one... I'm guessing Dan'l??

~Bet

Johan said...

Probably. ;-)

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Whew! Glad I didn't guess Johan! :D

~Bet

Johan said...

Why not? LOL!

Bisceglia Family said...

What? I'm gonna tell Dan'l's parents he was surfing the internet at night.
~No. Huh?

Daniel Ahrens said...

I bet it was Bethany. or maybe Kathrina. but, uh... why would anybody think _I_ would do something like that?

Phil-Jon-Daniel
PS my dad really calls me that, it's funny cuz I answer to it ;).

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

So it wasn't you either, P-J-Daniel? That's strange... it MUST have been Kathrina then. (She must stay up late!;) ) Wait of course she does! That's how Noah knew what that "N-word" meant... she must have told him from her experience! :D

~Bet

P.S. That's funny, about your name, Daniel! My family always ends up calling me Eden (my younger sister), and Eden, Bethany!

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

I know who it was!! And no it wasn't me.... I know who did both comments...

~Shiloh

Daniel Ahrens said...

either that or there is someone else that comes in and posts stuff as "anonymous". probly somebody shy, who do we know that's shy? (besides me).

Daniel Ahrens said...

oh, I just saw you're comment Shilo. who was it? wait don't tell me...

Daniel Ahrens said...

the second one was definitely Noah, it was posted one minute after his previous post...
The first one isn't really _that_ late, but I think I would still guess Kathrina...

The DA

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Daniel: Must you really still blame Kathrina…. Especially when you don’t know for sure? Now the second one really was Noah… right??

~Shiloh

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Daniel: Are you sure you don't want me to tell??? I could give the answer to this mystery!

~Shiloh

Bisceglia Family said...

Excuse me, Daniel, but I didn't know that 8:53 was one minute after 8:42. ROTFL I thought you were good at math. :) please don't take offence. only reconsider your previous convictions. LOL (including me being one of the culprits.)
~Noah
P.S. it was not my sister, cause' I asked her and she said she hasn't posted for a while(she doesn't usually lie, although after watching Inkheart we've all taken to the famous line "I lied lied lied lied lied.")

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Daniel! How dare you accuse poor, nnocent Kathrina for commenting (when she didn't)!!!!

Now I wonder who posted that comment…
:: snicker, snicker::

~Bet

Daniel Ahrens said...

Noah: I only saw the 3 and the 2. ;) and yeah that sounds like a great line :)

Shilo: did I "blame" her??? did the word "blame" even escape my keyboard?? no sir, I only _guessed_ Kathrina. and yes I'm sure I don't want you to tell me, I just figured it out.

Bethany: I am really disappointed... THAT I CAN'T CALL YOU A LIAR!!!! I never picked up Shilo's hint or anything (in case nobody else did either, it was that she knew who it was so who else could it be but her sister?)

DA

PS hey Bethany you misspelled innocent :) I'm assuming this means you think she's guilty? :P

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

DA: I'm glad you figured it out... I knew it right away when I noticed that the comment appeared shortly after I commented… Who else would it be? A quick, direct question in the morning confirmed my theory. I’m glad that you didn’t blame poor Kathrina.

And yes, Bethany did misspell innocent… She doesn’t think Kathrina is guilty… she *knows* _who_ is guilty.

I think that *someone* _really_ ought to express a deep and sincere apology to Kathrina… Doesn’t everyone agree with me? Daniel? Kathrina? Johan? Noah?

~Shiloh

Daniel Ahrens said...

Shilo: Are you talking about me for accusing her, or Bethany, for being the one who _really_ did it?

The DA

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

DA: I am ROTFLOL!!! I'm SO sorry you didn't see Shiloh's "helpful" hints ;)! That was SO funny... I still can't believe you thought it was Kathrina.

Oh, and no, I didn't spell "innocent" wrong because _I_ thought that Kathrina was guilty... but it was YOU who thought SHE was guilty!!! Poor Kathrina :)!

And as for Shiloh: She knows me too well... ::sigh::

~Bet

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

And how did you know that _I_ was the one that _really_ did it! =P

~Bet

Anonymous said...

Say, that is a cool riddle!

Tom
Virginia, USA

Daniel Ahrens said...

well, the first thing that tipped me off was the ::snicker snicker:: but then after that it all started making sense :). that's why Shilo knew so well.

DA

PS so I'm assuming you think _I_ should apologize to Kathrina?

PPS is Tom you too Bethany? or was it just coincidence that he happened to post directly after you did?

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

DA: NO, NO, NO!!! Tom is not me!!!!! I DO NOT KNOW WHO THAT IS!

~Bet

P.S. Sure! you can apologize to Kathrina...

Daniel Ahrens said...

Bet: somehow I don't really believe you...

DA

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

When I say this... I MEAN it.

THAT IS NOT ME!

~Bet

Daniel Ahrens said...

Define "that". jk ;) alright I'll try to believe you...

DA

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

DA: No, I mean Bethany ought to apologize to Kathrina (oh, yes I just spoke with her today :)).

No, that Tom was not Bethany. Being her sister I know.

The new mystery is... Is this "Tom" really a person... Or is someone posing as "Tom". Funny thing "he" gave his state and all...

~S

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Actually that comment was directed to Shiloh as a joke... because, who would know her style of writing except for me?! :)

Hmmm... things are clicking... I think I'm onto who left the "Tom" comment... but I won't release any info. (YET!)

~Bet

DA: Thanks for (finally!) believing me! ;)

Johan said...

@ Bethany--who do you think Tom is? I'm guessing Daniel. :D

Daniel Ahrens said...

Johan: it was you wasn't it.

DA

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Yes, it was you. We all know that you thought you were "Tom Sawyer"... and that you'll be in Virgina soon! :)

~Bet

P.S. I figured that out on my own.

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

Oh yes! 4:00 am your time... 7:00 am our time! :)

~Bet

Daniel Ahrens said...

yep. I knew because he said almost exactly what you said to him when _you_ were it :) I figured he was dropping a hint.

The DA detective ;)

PS did anyone else know that this post has the most comments in the history of unanswered riddles?

Johan said...

How did you know I was going to Virginia? :D

Johan said...

Actually, 7AM my time is 4AM your time. ;-)

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

DA: Ha! I thought the same thing about the comments... BTW, were these riddles just a "Bisceglia Scam" to get more comments on their blog?

Johan: You told me that the Law Camp was in Virgina... that's how I knew! I also just guessed you were there because of what you said in your comment and that I figured that you weren't up at 4am! :D

~Bet

Ebenezer Forest Farm said...

I don't forget things... (that easily;) )

~Bet

Daniel Ahrens said...

yeah it must have been a scam. this post probably has the most comments ever. :)

DA

Daniel Ahrens said...

waiting, patiently waiting for thursday so we can answer another riddle :) Kathrina you need to put these up more often than once a week ;)

The skinny little kid with white hair. :)

Daniel Ahrens said...
