Riddles, again.
January 10, 2016 at 6:54 pm
Yes, I know there's already a riddle thread, but I don't much feel like getting snarked at for necroposting, so...
Ran across a few I thought weren't half bad. Have fun.
*****
I consort with the vilest of thieves, and I am at home with depravity. I'm into time travel and I reside at the centre of never. Who am I?
*****
Apart, we make no sense. Together, we are one, but no longer enjoyable. What are we?
*****
If you break me, I don't stop working. If you touch me, I may be ensnared. If you lose me, nothing seems to matter. What am I?
*****

On an old forum I was a member of, we called that "gravedigging". Necroposting just sounds weird.

Whereas 'gravedigging' sounds like happy-jolly-fun time.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

For the second one- Is it that riddle and its answer?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
