    A mighty ship I now command,
    With cargo rare from every land.
    No goods have I to trade or sell;
    Each wind will serve my turn as well;
    To neither port nor harbour bound,
    My greatest wish to run aground.
    Who am I?

    Nope. Whales don't carry cargo, and I'm pretty sure they don't wish to run aground.

    If you turn me sideways, I am everything.
    If you cut my head off, I am nothing.

    What am I?

    Punctuate the following so it makes sense: "That that is is that that is not is not is not that it it is."

    Thank you Rally!

    You approach two talking doors. One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars. You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which. The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth. You want to go to the City of Truth. What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth ?

    You ask, "which door would that other guy advise me to go through?" And instead of taking that door, take the other one.

    I would have gone with something simpler, like "have you ever climbed Mount Everest?" or something like that. If the person says yes, he is most likely lying.

    Bugger, this has happened again. I don't have a riddle. I'll leave it up for grabs for anybody willing.

    But hey, that's not really reliable...
