They also appear to be complete morons, considering the French reads 'This is not an egg'.
I was aware of that :).

I have no god...

Yes, that's right, I'm part of the godless atheistic heathen scum conspiracy to take over teh interweb!Well now you do. Google isn't a jealous god and doesn't really care if you pray to it, but it's still your god.

We were talking about that!I know, but I just wanted to post the link to google's page on its calculator.

You do realize that eggs have bones... right? [/big_nitpick]
Yes, I do. However, I also nicked the riddle from another website. So I take no responsibility. Honestly, would you have suggested an egg if you hadn't thought 'Oh, but it's got bones!'?

It could have been a remote controlled egg. Then it wouldn't have had bones. Admittedly, it would not have been edible, but that's irrelevant.

Yes, yes, I would have... and if I hadn't thought of the answer, then I wouldn't have taken the time to write the nitpick in the first place.

Hmph, I get annoyed by riddles where the answer is both obvious and wrong. However, if you got it from another website... responsibility absolved, since all too many Web riddles are annoying for exactly the reason listed above.

I know, but there's also the fact the post he quoted was answering the riddle anyways, I'm not sure why he did it.

Same as short ones.

My host thinks I'm an irritation, a bother, a pain. But he can't evict me, so here I will remain. Then one day I'm taken and ranked among my peers. Can you guess just what I am? Then you might call me dear.

I didn't see anyone answer this correctly, so I shall guess a pearl.

A metal neither black nor red
As heavy as a man's golden greed
Its what you do to stay ahead
With friend or arrow or steed

If you lie to me I will slay you with my sword. If you tell the truth I'll slay you with a spell.
(What do you say to stay alive?)

A man is dead. Alex claims that Bob is guilty. The Bob says the Peter did it. Jacob swears he didn't kill the man. The Peter says Bob is lying. If only one of these speaks the truth, who killed the man?

Bonus points if you can tell me what game I got this from.
