I guessed AGE, but the "make you pop" one seemed a little too abstract.

How exactly does time make one pop?
I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

QuoteHow exactly does time make one pop?
Beats me. Like I said, I thought that time/age was a little to abstract to answer that question. Seemed a little forced.

I turn polar bears white (OK - I can see time here)
and I will make you cry. (Why and How)
I make guys have to pee (Time is liquid?)
and girls comb their hair. (They do this anyway)
I make celebrities look stupid (They do this anyway)
and normal people look like celebrities. (I can see time working here)
I turn pancakes brown (Time is hot?)
and make your champagne bubble. (Time is now a chemical reaction)
If you squeeze me, I'll pop. (Squeeze Time? I thought it as a constant)
If you look at me, you'll pop. (I'm not getting it.)
Can you guess the riddle? No.

New (old) Riddle:
Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

Well...here's all the words that I can think of that end in -gry.
aggry: variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture, mentioned by various 19th-century writers as having been found buried in parts of Africa.
begry: an obsolete 15th-century spelling of the word 'beggary' (i.e., extreme poverty).
conyngry: an obsolete 17th-century spelling of the even more obsolete word 'conynger' (like 'cunningaire' and 'conygarth,' a term meaning 'rabbit warren').
gry: a unit of measurement proposed by English philosopher John Locke in his 1690 "Essay Concerning Human Understanding."
higry-pigry: a corruption (along with 'hickery-pickery' and 'hicra picra') of the Greek 'hiera picra' (approximately 'sacred bitters'), a term for many medicines in the Greek pharmacopoeia, particularly a purgative drug composed of aloes and canella bark.
iggry: an early 20th century British army slang borrowing from the Arabic 'ijri, meaning 'Hurry up!"
meagry: a rare and obsolete early 17th-century variant meaning 'meager-looking.'
menagry: obsolete 18th-century alternate spelling of 'menagerie.'
nangry: a rare and obsolete 17th-century variant of 'angry.'
podagry: a 17th-century variant spelling of 'podagra,' a medical lexicon term for 'gout.'
puggry: a 19th-century alternate spelling of 'puggaree' or 'puggree,' derived from the Hindi 'pagri,' a word for a light turban or head covering worn in India.
skugry: a 16th-century variant spelling of 'scuggery,' meaning 'concealment' or 'secrecy.'
Unless of course you're looking for the answer "language" which is the third letter in the phrase "The English Language". w00t.

If the quotes would have been in the proper place - it would have looked like this--. . .There are only three words in "the English language." What is the third word? . . .
which would make the third word Language - the rest is just fluff and misdirection.

The whole riddle is pretty dumb. I've seen it before. It doesn't really have a straight answer.

I found it on a website. The first version was the widely circulated one you speak of that doesn't have an answer - probably because the writer didn't know either the answer or the real question in the real riddle. The one I posted is the actual riddle and "language" is the answer.

QuoteQuoteQuoteHobbitsssss......
Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.
Fisheses
nope - wind
what box has neither hinges nor lid
yet golden treasure inside is hid
So an egg is the answer...
And these riddles have been from the Hobbit, written by JRR Tolkien
(WTF is Dark Tower?)
From the Dark Tower series
Is that where it's from? I'm a Stephen King fan, but I've never read any of the Dark Tower books. I heard it from my aunt.
