| honestly i thought it was a vampire or sumthing along that sort but then i thought to myself thats way to easy and it cant be the answer so i kept on guessing and im like naw they might be a dumb person and might make it a really easy answer, then when i saw the answer i was like im the dumb one now, good teaser |

| I thought it was teeth...except for the eternally joined thing...good one. |
rckergrl87
May 06, 2003
| first of all, you put "what am i" after describing the thing as it and secondly, a staple doesn't hold for eternity. Infact, i just stappled and unstappled something. But without the mistakes it would have been clever |

| First, I got this one right away. That does not necessarily make it easy. I have been equally stumped by supposedly easy teasers. Second, how about a little literary lattitude when writing riddles? Some critics are a little too picky about the use of some words, like eternally. I would guess that most riddles can not be taken literally, word-for-word. Even Tolkien referred to teeth as white horses on a red hill (The Hobbit, Riddles in the Dark). |

timilee
May 07, 2005
| I must agree with the MANY people that
think the clues don't work.
Misdirection is when it leads you away, not when it makes a false claim.
How does it dole out fate??? Dole means: a giving or distribution of food, money, or clothing, etc. How does fate fit here???
How does "it" have might??? A stapler has no might on its own.
How is it eternal??? Staples are removable or the pages can be pulled apart???
With better clues, this would be really clever.
But only one of the clues work.
Plus, the title is not accurate.
I can't give this a thumbs up.
sorry  |

beachbabe1218

| that was dumb. whoever wrote it made it sound like it was a snake. if you give clues that are all bad, NO ONE is going to think of a stapler!!!!!!!!  |

| I was thinking of nails but I discounted them because they are not eternal bonds. A staple is better than nails, but if I had thought of it I probably would have discounted it for the same reason.  |

May 09, 2005
| For the record, I got this one right. Took a wild guess, but it happened to be right. Having said that, I think I got it right because I didn't take everything in the clues literally. Think outside the box, people. It helps, believe me. And finally, to play devil's advocate, it's called a "comments section," not a "nice comments section," or a "don't-be-mean comments section." We're free to critique the teasers, positively or negatively, so don't get on a person's case just because they're "mean." If someone doesn't like a teaser, they can say so. Ideally, they should give something to support the claim, but not everyone's going to do that. Regardless, let bygones be bygones. Anyway, I've said my piece. Have a GREAT day, everyone!! |

May 15, 2005
| hey yo. yeah, the comment section is to let the writer know what he/she needs to work on. so if someone sayst that they dont like it, dont tell them to stop saying all the mean stuff. but that doesnt mean you can say mean things without reason. i think that was a good teaser cuz it fooled a whole bunch of ppl and thats what they are supposed to do. so plz stop telling ppl what to write if they dont like it, they can say so. also, if youre gonna say that its stupid, you should have back up info on why. like state what you dont like about it. just so the writer knows what he/she needs to work on. thank you for your time. |

But like others, though I got this riddle right off, I've found others impossible that many people found easy. So ya never know. But I liked this one. |

May 22, 2006
|  i,too, thought it was a vampire. You did a swell job and just remember, opinions are just like noses, everybody has one. I know, I cleaned that up considerably, but I agree that if they are going to complain they should offer constructive criticism. Thankfully, we don't all like the same things, but come on people, until you can do better, try a little kindness.

BeckyD
May 22, 2006
| I never thought "vampire" because they don't "sit and wait" for their prey. They get out on the prowl. At first I thought "snake", but then most don't sit and wait, either, but some do. That's when I thought it must be "spider" because they DO sit and wait on their webs, and then they suck the blood out of the insects they catch. At least MOST species of spiders do, anyway! LOL
I sorta agree about the "eternal fate" of a stapler as a part of the riddle was misleading, though. However, I thought it was a pretty good teaser.
Some of you folks need to lighten up and just have fun with this stuff instead of taking it sooooo seriously! |

What I really love is that everyone who said it sounded like a snake and it was stupid for being a stapler... would have complained if it HAD been a snake saying it was sooo easy and how could it have gotten through the reviewers?! Whatever. It was perfect the way it was.

Hungrygit
May 22, 2007
| I liked it. Not much in life is 'eternal', so when it is seen in a teaser, i'm happy to take 'eternal' as 'a long time' and not necessarily as 'forever'.
I think the Stapler does have might in it's own right. Have you tried pushing staples through six sheets of paper without one?
To summarise, give the guy a break! Just because you didn't get it! (okay, neither did I, but I got as far as understanding that it wouldn't be something living) |

May 22, 2007
| Overall, not a bad teaser. I did get it pretty quickly, but that obviously doesn't mean it was necessarily too easy. Like some others, I did think the eternally bit was a bit much. I think that's taking "poetic license" a little too far. To use eternally, it should be something at least a little more lasting than a staple. Especially with it being put in the title as well, which seems to give it a great deal more emphasis than the rest of the clues. I loved the imagery though! I'll never look at a stapler the same again |

| Very poorly written. A stapler doesn't have pointed fangs, only the staple itself does. Staples aren't eternal either, hence the existence of staple removers. |

j9mattfield
May 22, 2007
| Well done. As a Buffy/Angel/Blood Ties fanatic, vampire was certainly the first thing I thought off...until I read bloodless. And no, the stapler itself does not have the fangs, but it says "with" and staples are with the stapler. Thanks! |

| Oh my gosh, the whole POINT of the teaser is to make you think it's a vampire or snake. Don't get mad when you guess vampire and it's wrong. Things like this actually take a little bit of thought to figure out. That's why they're called BRAIN teasers. People are too critical.
Anyway, I thought it was a cute teaser. I liked it, even though I couldn't think of the right answer. |

| We all think differently...and that's the beauty of exercising the mind with these teasers.
I was thinking "larger" because it sounded so fearful and final. I came up with a train engine which can be coupled bloodlessly to its cars in one bite...but, knowing nothing about coupling train engines, it probably isn't plausible. |

I enjoyed it. I never would have guessed stapler (like many, I was thinking vampire), but once I saw the answer I was like "that's clever!" Anyway, good job. |

| I thought this was very well done. Misdirection makes for an excellent riddle! Creative use of words also adds nicely to its quality as a teaser. (Me getting it right without much stress? well that was just icing on the cake!) |

| I agree with all the comments about the 'eternal' not really applying. I also wanted to point out that 'bloodless' doesn't really apply either. I have accidentally stapled my fingers a couple times, and drew blood. Also, doctors use staples in lieu of stitches to close up wounds on occasion. I've had three staples in my head for an injury. And those are definitely not meant to be eternal.

| A Bat, a bat, not a stapler. A stapler don't dole out fate, a stapler has very little to do with fate.
One who uses the stapler on any regular basis, seals the fate of paper or envelops. I can see the analogy. I think. |

| LUV THE TEASER!!! and whoever says 'it doesn't join paper eternally!' is TOTALLY wrong. what if you leave the staple IN?!? well, it doesn't matter, the answer wasn't obvious- it wasn't supposed to be. its a RIDDLE, DUH!
p.s. luv the teaser. -Hubbamutt777 |

| It is a bit misleading and like most others I thought of teeth and vampires. However, if you don't try, you won't learn, so thanks for posting! |

| I'm sorry, but I am with those who said they did not think the clues worked. They were not "misleading", they were outright incorrect. Bound eternally? Hardly - very few things (in fact, I know of none) can bind eternally, some things like nails, or screws are a bit more difficult to remove, but they do sell "staple removers" at any store, not that you need one, a 3 year old could pull apart a stack of stapled pages. I won't even bother with what was wrong with the other clues, they have been mentioned more that once in the preceding comments.
For me, this one was a no go. |

| Not too crazy about this one. The writer went so far trying to trick the reader that the "clues" didn't fit the answer. |
