Useless Trivia

[The Fuzz]

I don't really know any of these but love to see what the answers are. I like this post to look at when im bored.

I got a question I heard on the radio about 6or 7 years ago and never got to hear the answer:

There are 3 words in the english dictionary that end in GRY:
1. Angry
2. Hungry
3. ?

What is the third one? I have wanted to know this question evers since I herad the question.

That is a good riddle, but its not worded right. The way it is supposed to go is kind of like this: "There are three words in the English language that end with 'gry'. Two of these are angry and hungry. The third word is a very common word, and you use it often. If you read carefully then you'll know what the third word is because I have already given it to you. What is the third word?"

The question isn't what the third word that ends in 'gry' is. There really isn't any normal word that does. The question is what the third word in that riddle is. The third word is "three". Its a trick question, but somebody didn't get it and spent too much time thinking about the 'gry' question and suddenly that became the riddle.

Here's a good one for you. There are three English words that don't rhyme with any other word. Orange, silver and what other word?

I think "No" qualifies as the shortest sentence too, don't you think? Now if "go" is the shortest sentence, then why is "I do" the longest sentence? :lmfao

 

[groebuck]

heh - No, does not qualify as it is not a complete sentence. “Go” is an action verb and can be used in imperative mood, which means that it can be used with good, old “You Understood.” So “Go” actually means “You go.” On the other hand, if that interpretation doesn’t strike your fancy, let’s say that understood meanings are disallowed, then “I go” is the shortest sentence. “Go” doesn’t require a complement since it is an action verb nor does it require a direct object. No is not a verb, therefore not a sentence (remember a sentence requires a noun and a verb) :lol.

Way to cut and paste. :lmfao
