Here's my first riddle.
"A man walks in town on Monday, and stays for one day and one night only. The next morning, he leaves on Friday. How is this possible?"
If you answer it correctly, then place a riddle of your own.

He left on Tuesday morning, came back Thursday night and spent the night. That's my guess. Right?

Wait, he leaves ON Friday? Is it a western town? "Cause if he has a horse or pony named Friday, that would work.
P.S. - Some horses have messed up names, as evidenced by my first ever visit to a stable last night. Mojo's cool though.

Anyways, he actually leaves Tuesday morning, but he rides a horse named Friday.

I'm 20, I'm allowed to drink, have sex, and double post (at least in Canada). Seriously, it's the law. One more year & I can do all that in the States too. I'd be more excited about it, but I try not to double post, I hardly drink, and the rest is not for the general public to know.
That said, here's my riddle (I warn you, it's easy):
A man comes across an on foot funeral procession which has stopped for a quick rest. He asks a nearby member of the procession "Were you close?" out of empathy, and suddenly wishes he didn't. The second man says "Brothers and sisters, I have none. That man's father is my father's son."
What does his answer mean?

We...know what you can do, and the age limits and requirments...but..."I'm 20, I'm allowed to drink, have sex, and double post (at least in Canada)."? Is there a point in mentioning you can have sex? And being 20 doesn't give you a right to double post!

Yeah, what WAS the point? Especially in front of 7th graders (and a 9th grader)!!

They're supposed to teach you this stuff in grade 7, you know. But since you guys don't go to a public elementary school like I did, I don't think it's in the curriculum. We'd be joking about stuff in grade 8, and people from your school didn't understand all of it. XD And oddly enough, our counsellor spoke to us about...this kind of thing on Thursday. Awkward. >__>;;

Well, our teachers in 7th grade bring it up ALOT! Ugh, our teachers pregnant, and... yeah. She also brings it up during religion class! So anoyying, but, I guess we SHOULD be learning about this stuff. And we DO understand all of it! Just because we go to a private school doesnt change the curriculum... except Religion.

Well, our science textbook has a few chapters about it...and yes, our teacher brings it up in religion...like, "Beleive it or not, your parents, have done the deed, and when I say deed I eman sex." or, "Just read the part, sex is perfectly fine, sex is what you guys were made from, SEX is..." It got annoying. And yes, we should be learning this in 7th grade. Even in private schools. But the new pope thought this kind of information should be given to us through parents or legal gaurdians . But, its even more harded to look at your parent, and talk about how sex happens. I'd rather learn it at school where I won't have as much trouble asking about certain things I know.

It's a good thing not to ask your parents... ><; i still find it awkward to talk about with my folks.. ESPECIALLY my dad ;; I'd rather talk about it with a teacher than my parents... ;-; Okay - riddle... I don't get it T_T what that guy said is that the dead man is his brother, and yet he said he didn't have a brother.. that doesn't work unless the dead man is a half-brother from another woman by the same father... ; *dies of confusion*

The speaking man IS the father of the dead man. Think about it. Since no one got it, here's an easier one (that Jenna can't answer):
What can you PUT INTO a wooden barrel, that you CAN see with the naked eye, that will make it lighter?
