Riddle me this!

[oldkicker]

While exploring the wilds of Sweden, Wild Man John was captured by hostile wood fairies. Alex, the powerful chief of the fairies told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die. If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water. If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil. Wild Man John found neither of this options to his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation.

What is the one statement he could have made?

Yesterday's:

An openended barrel,
I am shaped like a hive.
I am filled with the flesh,
and the flesh is alive!

A Thimble

Good Morning Riddlers !

I'm checking in early today ... usually on the road to work by now but I'm bringing my car in for service and they don't open before the sun comes up !

Never did get yesterday's .... made perfect sense when I saw the answer



I have an idea .... sending a PM

 

[oldkicker]

Wild Man John.

Any doubt?

Of course it is.

Kim - If the riddle were a bit more existential, that answer would have just been thimbolic.

 

[gina2000]

I'm gonna stick that thimble in my ear and sing for you all!


GOOD MORNING

GOOD MORNING

GOOD MORNING TO YOU!!!!


IT'S TIME TO GET UP!

Morning OK, and the corral! I haven't had much time to play here lately. I seem to be in the dark a little. Congratulation, Yepod on your Jeopardy winnings! I would NEVER have gotten thimble yesterday! I was stuck on cocoon and honey comb! Today's breakfast spot looks wonderful, but I will be breakfasting with the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome this morning. Have to welcome home our ALCD champs you know!!! Going to the game tonight too! DH is out of town, so lots more chores to do around here too. They are putting the basement in at the new place this week.

Have a good day folks. I'll check back later this morning, but for now I have to hit the traffic jam at the "dome"!

Don't encourage her Bernie.........
