Simple and easy, but a piece to read.
Excellent teaser, lucky. Really enjoyed it very much.
I was going with history, but changed directions to hand writing. Why? I don't know...good one.
easy but cute... ia hve 20 points...250!!!!! it will take me a year
Awsome!! This is the best ridle I've read so far.
Why didn't I think of it....
wow that was cool, i didnt get it though
Excellent!!
The "h" and "y" gave it away easily.
not today.......too tired to even try....yawnnnnnnnn....but it was a good one anyway.....i just need to get some more sleep......
I did get this one, but I thought the horses and pretty references threw me off, so I doubted my answer of history. Good, no great teaser!!
That was good! The thing about horses and pretty, should've helped me, but I got thrown off by it too!
Great teaser!
BRAVO!!
Loved the way it was written. Thanks!

GD one, Lucky!!!
I can't believe I got another riddle!!!
Well written!
Well written!
Wonderful! This is going straight to my favorites list!
I was thinking History or Biography, but the B was not in horse so I went with History. Great clues. Loved it, Thank You !
I think an explanation would make it better. Ponies and horses??? What is that all about?
Katjojo, you have to compare the two words and discard any shared letters. That would leave you with h and r from horses to choose as a first letter of the answer, and with p,r, and y for the last letter. That was actually the clue that gave me the anwer when I went back a reread the other clues.
I enjoyed this riddle! Good job Luckythirteen!

I was thinking it could be truth but it didn't work with the last two clues. I didn't think of history so needless to say, I gave up... Anyway, great teaser!!
History is rewritten every generation - history is just agreed upon lies.
Cool...
...but I failed to solve it!
Great teaser!

Great teaser!
History is not "agreed upon" and it's not "lies". History is a version of the past. Not everyone agrees upon it, and it's not a "lie", but it's only one truth.
That was a good teaser!!! It was JUST hard enough, for me, but not impossible! And of course i got it, or I wouldn't be saying it was great! No, I'm not that petty. (really he is, but, humor him) Anyway, "handwriting" was a good alternate answer, except that it ends in "g".
Thanks!!!

I also thought it was a fun teaser. I like the ones most people get. Hard enough to make you think, and yet still solvable. Some are just to outrageous.

Great one !! Took me a bit of time but I finally got IT!!
Keep up the good work.
Love to challenge my brain Thanks

Great job! Beautifully written.
i totally didnt get but when i read the answer and the riddle over again it came to me lol
Very well written! Don't change a thing!
Wonderful teaser, well written and clever.
I got it...but didn't think I got it! Well-written riddle!
I thought history, but then changed my mind because it says "can be lost in death." I don't think history can ever be lost no matter who dies! Explain, please!
@Babe - I think it is referring to when someone dies who is the last person to know a particular episode of history without passing that information on, then that part of history is lost to us. It may be that it can be rediscovered through piecing together missing artifacts or records, but it is considered lost for the time being.
Still a good teaser. Hi GW , hope you have a great day.
Geez, I'm back for one week only. Nothing has changed, same old repeats. I want to say a BIG HELLO to all my old friends. And to my enemies (like the lazy editors) your stuck with me for a week. And especially to my friend GW a big . And HABS I miss you too.
I liked this teaser - I especially liked the greetings from good friends! Thanks!
Cool teaser!! It was fun!!
Fun and easy! I enjoyed the teaser. I got it with the 2nd line.
People say history is written by the winners. Can these people explain why there are records of the Tuskeegee Experiment?
Top notch. Simply perfect.
