The point of this game is simple, someone "makes up their own" riddle, and everyone else has to guess the object/thing/person/etc. that the riddle is supposed to be describing...

I'll start off w/a simple one, well...hopefully simple :D

I am something that is found in all homes
I am something that is found in most rooms
I am something that moves up and down
sometimes side to side, in or out
and you can see right through me when the rain pours down

What am I?

there can be alot of answers to that, as there are many winged creatures which cannot fly. A male duck cannot fly after the mating season when they molt... we have a swan where i work which has a broken wing, and he cannot fly (though sometimes he thinks he can... which is amusing...) ostriches have wings, but cannot fly, as do cassowary, the nandu (or common rhea), kakapu, penguin, kiwi, emu.... sorry, i took ornithology at college last spring...

Also note that all riddles have many answers. It's the one that the writter is looking for. Penguins can barely jump, plus they are more commonly known not to fly. ...so no, i havent been shot down, I've just climbed out of a self dug pit.

As any little child of a bird that cant fly...Penguin is the usual anser. I highly doubt they know what a Kiwi is.

Since sam isnt asking another riddle..i guess i'll fire off another:

Jenn lives on the 9thth floor of the apartment complex. On fair days (sunny days), she takes the elevator to the 4th floor and walks the rest of the way up. On rainy days she goes all the way to the 9th floor. Why does she do this? (She's not crazy)

Yes/No questions welcome. Also note i'm looking for MY(!) answer. =P
