Okies, I will let this post stand. No overt spam or inappropriate content. I upgraded wordpress (the cms running this site) and downgraded “riddle’s” permissions so he can’t post again, but I am kinda curious about his post… anyone have any ideas on this riddle?

Sarah said sleeping pills, which I thought was a pretty good guess.

The only part that I couldn’t figure out was “I Entertain kids.. who attempt to fight my will” Parents might take sleeping meds before a trip.. and you can find it in retail stores… and when they are broken they still work. but I don’t think they are entertaining.

I am found sometimes in retail (Escalators in Sears)

And frequently before you pay to take a trip. (Escalators in Airports)

I entertain kids who attempt to fight my will. (Kids like to run against the current of escalators)

And when I’m broken I continue to work still. (An escalator that breaks becomes stairs.. which still works to go up or down)

I’ll eat anything you dangle close to me, (it catches shoe strings and stuff like that)

but you’re the one who gets fat. (it eats but we don’t work out so we get fat)

Escalators… Riddle me that?

Okies riddle, My smarter than me brother guessed your riddle, and you have proven that we can’t keep you out, but you haven’t done anything nasty to this site yet, would you please refrain from doing anything nasty? And if possible, tell us what we can do to make it more secure? Thanks!

Destruction is never the point.
Your smarter brother is really only par for the course.
He was the one who gave me access.
I will leave now, never intended any harm.
Riddle me this and Riddle me that.

Jason the smart one – Don’t use ‘proxys’
and put in passwords.

the only thing more stupid is putting in credit cards

had that happened… this probably wouldn’t be such good fun.

Thank you Riddle. I googled all over for your riddle, to see if it was anywhere else. It isn’t anywhere else on the net. Proved to me that you were a real human, rather than a bot, and a clever one at that. Thanks for the info and for being a nice guy.
