What Am I?
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
The more you make of me the more you leave behind. What am I?

|
Posted by Karmen on Feb 11, 2006 I'd thought "memories" |
|
Posted by on Feb 11, 2006 Can I say that the answer is clever, but there are way to many answers that could be right. My first instict was trash. The eco friendly side of me I guess. |
|
Posted by on Feb 11, 2006 *instinct.... did I mention I can not type.. lol |
|
Posted by zonahobo on Feb 11, 2006 I thought this was short and pretty good. A nice teaser snack for late in the evening. When I asked my daughter, her answer was "children". Funny! Lots of good alternatives in the comments .. I thought her answer was pretty good to. Is she thinking of knocking me off or something? |
|
Posted by chidam11 on Feb 11, 2006 Very Good one!! |

|
Posted by OldChinaHand on Feb 11, 2006 Why, I don't know, but I was thinking of Lucy Recardo and bread dough at first, till I remembered foot prints in the snow. Cool One. |
|
Posted by Ouchy1 on Feb 11, 2006 i thought CO2 at first too. then i remembered this riddle in "263 BrainBusters". Still, VERY nice riddle violingirl! |
|
Posted by thimblenoggin on Feb 11, 2006 What are Spondoolicks? |
|
Posted by paul726 on Feb 11, 2006 I suppose just about everything we make, we end up leaving behind. |
|
Posted by solarsistim321 on Feb 11, 2006 COOL! |
|
Posted by TSZOO310 on Feb 11, 2006 THE ANSWER COULD ALSO HAVE BEEN MONEY,CAUSE YOU CAN'T IT WITH YOU. |
|
Posted by Vigo95 on Feb 11, 2006 i was surprised noone had heard this before . this riddle is very cute but in my experience this was the joke the smartalecky kid in your fourth grade class told . maybe i shouldn't have let you guys in on that and just said that i got it right !!!! |
|
Posted by jabdr on Feb 11, 2006 Great one! My first thought was photos.. |
|
Posted by thecelticgod on Feb 11, 2006 Agree with others that there are too many possible answers. Mine was "mess." BTW, "Spondulix" is an old term for money. |
|
Posted by maka10 on Feb 11, 2006 Very cute! |

Posted by raff on Feb 11, 2006 1 sec i thoght of money the very next second i knew the answer was footprints. good one thanks |
|
Posted by Vigo95 on Feb 11, 2006 good . maybe we should start our own comic book series , BESA ! |
|
Posted by besamishuevos on Feb 11, 2006 And we shall call it the Teasing adventures of Vigo and the Huevos |
|
Posted by Vigo95 on Feb 11, 2006 that sounds fabulous !!!!! i was actually thinking the same thing |
|
Posted by besamishuevos on Feb 11, 2006 We will seek out and verbally punish all those that submit lame teasers. Prepare to feel the verbal wrath!!!!! Ahhh ha ha ha ha ha ha |
|
Posted by Vigo95 on Feb 11, 2006 i will fight , for the right for all people to have fun at all times. |
|

Posted by besamishuevos on Feb 11, 2006 NOT THE EGG BEATER!!!!! if you only knew.... You may have won this time Vigo, but the huevos will be back, with a vengance.....  |
|
Posted by Vigo95 on Feb 11, 2006 good guys win again ! watch yourself BESA, i will be looking for you |
|
Posted by yesenia8rivera on Feb 11, 2006 Cool I didn't get it but it was fun all the same |
|
Posted by violasrule on Feb 11, 2006 Also friends, the more friends you make the less time you have for old ones |
|
Posted by on Feb 11, 2006 Very clever. I guess numbers or words. |
|
Posted by benjam on Feb 11, 2006 k, gjpu4n1985JFSPOK! Sorry, the cat jumped on my keyboard!!!! Very easy riddle, but my mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, and friend all thought it was poo. Keep 'em coming, violingirl. P.S. BESA, break it up. Who cares about egg beaters, you fools? I have a chainsaw!!!  |
|
Posted by benjam on Feb 11, 2006 I mean VIRG95 too. |
|
Posted by benjam on Feb 11, 2006 I mean Vigo95. I couldn't remember. I will thwart you with my boom-box!!! |
|
Posted by wuzzupp on Feb 11, 2006 nice and simple just how i like it |
|
Posted by hockeygirl on Feb 11, 2006 wow that was so simple yet so complicated just goes to show how much we can over think things!!! |
|
Posted by marilyn1228 on Feb 11, 2006 I remember seeing a sign in a state park kind of simular. It was "Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints!" I thought it was cool.. |
|
Posted by bluehawk on Feb 11, 2006 REMINDS ME OF "FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND". I LIKE THIS ONE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. |
|
Posted by bootscooter58 on Feb 12, 2006 Thanks for the great teaser -- I actually thought "skin cells" .. see how we over think things?? Thanks for the fun and keep them coming. |
|
Posted by vlerma on Feb 12, 2006 Enjoyed most of the comments. I also thought it was freinds, but I love Footprints in the Sand so am very satisfied with this answer, although many do apply. Vigo and Besa, for once you guys made your challanges entertaining. Much nicer than the negative thoughts. But rather than an egg beater you need a hungry squirrel. |
|
Posted by benjam on Feb 12, 2006 I agree with VLERMA. I laughed for 10 min after reading your argument!!! And, by the way, who cares about boom-boxes. I WILL THWART YOU WITH MY MIGHTY TRASH CAN!!! YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS ONE, VIGO95!!! BESA, YOUR WRATH IS A PEANUT COMPARED WITH MY WAR ELEPHANT OF A TEMPER!!! |
|
Posted by Vigo95 on Feb 13, 2006 VLERMA . BENJAM . you're on my list ! |
|
Posted by riddlelover on Mar 05, 2006 Cute!!!! |
|
Posted by seanlandrews on Oct 23, 2006 Fun teaser. I thought of miles travelled. |
|
Posted by freeflyingbutte on Feb 12, 2007 Great teaser! I was one of the many who thought it was money! I guess I'm still thinking of tax time and all the overtime I've been working lately! |
|
Posted by marschie on Feb 12, 2007 I thought that anything we make we leave behind, so the answer could be "ANYTHING." |
|
Posted by lmurray on Feb 12, 2007 WHAT ABOUT LOVE? |
|
Posted by anion on Feb 12, 2007 I didn't get it either. I was not thinking on the same line as anyone else. Oh well. Good job. |
|
Posted by katjojo on Feb 12, 2007 I agree with many others...there are alot of "right" answers. I personally thought it was hair. The more you have the more there is to loose. |
|
Posted by coachpisco on Feb 12, 2007 Short and sweet |
|
Posted by builder on Feb 12, 2007 I am shocked and pleased, yea Imurray. Fun but easy teaser |
|
Posted by doehead on Feb 12, 2007 STUPID |
|
Posted by on Feb 12, 2007 I thought for sure I had it with, "PROGRESS" |
|
Posted by bradon182001 on Feb 12, 2007 My first thought was money. Guess if you think about it, it could be a lot of answers,, including love Imurray. |
|
Posted by Starberry on Feb 12, 2007 Cute Teaser! |
|
Posted by puttumup on Feb 12, 2007 there was to many posiable answers to this riddle .so i say any answer was a correckt one... |
|
Posted by puttumup on Feb 12, 2007 keep up the good work tho at least it was a better one then some of the others i have read |
|
Posted by Pizzazz2u on Feb 12, 2007 Easy, but fun to think about! Hmm! Everyone seems to be coming up with other answers! Apparently, this teaser is getting them to use their heads! WTG Keep these a coming! |
|
Posted by campfirecutie on Feb 12, 2007 The more money I make, the more I spend and leave behind! Oh well, good teaser anyway!! |
|
Posted by phyllisa on Feb 12, 2007 I agree with Puttumup, and I am LOL over the other comments |
|
Posted by Blondie116 on Feb 12, 2007 loved it! |
|
Posted by hancar on Feb 12, 2007 My first guess was a hole - still sounds good to me |
|
Posted by scallio on Feb 12, 2007 Loved it! My guess was MEMORIES. |
|
Posted by MagicFingers on Feb 12, 2007 Loved it, although my thought was HISTORY.... |
|
Posted by hradilv on Feb 12, 2007 Yeah, it was cute, but a little - no a lot - too vague. |
|
Posted by cloughme on Feb 12, 2007 my first thought was "a mess" no coffee yet... good job! |
|
Posted by FatHead on Feb 12, 2007 "Take only pictures. Leave only footprints. Kill nothing but time." --Sign at a nature exhibit. |
|
Posted by Thrashmeister on Feb 12, 2007 LOL... at first I thought it was something that had to do with the natural process of the human body... because of "leave behind"... and... well... I think you get my drift. >_>; |
|
Posted by speedqueenkmw on Feb 12, 2007 That was my first thought, also, Thresh. Bodily function |
|
Posted by speedqueenkmw on Feb 12, 2007 oops, Thrash, spelled it wrong |
|
Posted by gallopingboo on Feb 12, 2007 great! my first thought was money |
|
Posted by Qrystal on Feb 12, 2007 WHEW! I wasn't the only one thinking bodily functions. In particular, I was thinking, uh, .. ..... gas. But I knew that couldn't be right, so I kept thinking. My "final answer" was TIME. You can make time for things, but you're always leaving more behind... *shrug* it worked for me. Many of the answers given would've worked, because it's just too open. Oh well, what can we do except count ourselves as right if we want, right? I also love that someone quoted the nature sign; I always think about it when I'm out on a hike! Except I take not only pictures, but I always make sure to take a few pieces of garbage out of there, because there's always some... |
|
Posted by notsosmart111 on Feb 12, 2007 I love riddles keep em coming! |
|
Posted by Infinitoid on Feb 12, 2007 lol the thing is it could be a lotta stuff, but i was so sure that the answer was "poop" |
|
Posted by millie02 on Feb 12, 2007 I thought it was memories. Good idea, but the riddle needs to be longer so there aren't so many right answers... |
|
Posted by OhEmGee on Feb 12, 2007 i though it was good and dont listen to the comment above this! it was awesome |
|
Posted by sand_rat on Feb 12, 2007 Yep.......easy, but it was fun. |
|
Posted by AbsurdHero on Feb 12, 2007 I found it awfully ambiguous. I was thinking "debt". |
|
Posted by aaks94 on Feb 12, 2007 haha, i thought it was "friends" |
|
Posted by Shikamaru on Feb 12, 2007 ya just a little to simple i think. but still good. i thought of something that i wont mention. |
|
Posted by breathesunshine on Feb 12, 2007 I thought it was idea but my idea was the wrong thought! |
|
Posted by masquerademe235 on Feb 12, 2007 Nice- short, sweet, and to the point, and not too hard. |
|
Posted by clfourmo61 on Feb 13, 2007 I said footsteps. Close enough for me. |
|
Posted by Sand-Storm on Feb 13, 2007 hate to give my age away but I remember that one from kid years. still good tho. |
|
Posted by Zag24 on Jan 13, 2009 A good start, but I think you need another stanza. I had thought "a mess," which fits as well as the original answer. Skimming the comments, I see a number of people had other, equally good guesses. Maybe something like, I can be wet or I can be dry. I'm a hole or a mound (but not very high). (mud or sand, or prints on the floor) |
|
Posted by precious1026 on Feb 12, 2010 I thought the Teaser had its merits. It could be many things that one makes and leave behind. I do like Mess. I don't like Mess, but its a thought, one I would leave behind. One makes many thoughts or create many thoughts and leave them behind. It is a good teaser. |
|
Posted by craniac on Feb 12, 2010 All I could think of was trash. Well, actually there were a lot more possibilities -- too many really. The riddle needed a qualifier to narrow the field down. |
|
Posted by doehead on Feb 12, 2010 Heard this one too many times |
|
Posted by kaaozz on Feb 12, 2010 Good one. Did no one else guess history ? |
|
Posted by patiencewithaP on Feb 12, 2010 Fun! |
|
Posted by sunnybonghits on Feb 12, 2010 I think GAS would have been a better answer. |
|
Posted by auntiesis on Feb 12, 2010 People came up with lots of alternative answers, and I didn't get any of them.  |
|
Posted by avonma on Feb 12, 2010 Icame up with "trash" But, "footprints" fits the riddle better It could have been a lot of things. Oh, well. Thanks for posting. |
|
Posted by Babe on Feb 12, 2013 Wow! That was way too easy! Took me about 30 seconds to figure that one out. I liked it though. It made me smile |
|
Posted by rob77 on Feb 12, 2013 My answer was car emissions. |
|
Posted by jaycr on Feb 12, 2013 Group me with the people that guesssed money. |
|
Posted by HABS2933 on Feb 12, 2013 The editors have really tightened up the regulations for approving a teaser it would seem. I have had numerous teasers rejected in the last number of months based on "too many possible answers" that had no where near as many impossibles as this one does. |
|
Posted by cutebug on Feb 12, 2013 This one was very weak and worn out. |
