Hi,
can't review all of the answers due to the way this board is set up (it only shows you the post you're replying to, instead of several posts),
Hint: open up a second window. You can check posts or other material in that second window, as well as cut-and-paste replies and go to references.
Now, on that last "riddle":
You phrased it, "There are but three words in the English language that end in -GRY. "Angry" and "hungry" are two of them. What is the third?" If you analyze the first sentence, it is talking about *three words in the English language* and *three words that end in -GRY*. Both requirements are needed to satisfy the conditions you specify. Claiming that "language" is an answer to the riddle simply shows your ignorance of the rules of sentence structure. Go to snopes http://www.snopes.com/language/puzzlers/gry.asp to see two ways that the riddle could be phrased.
