[Kaezion]

oh, how stupid i am. it just goes to show how certain kinds of stereotypes can still creep inside our heads.

the beggar was the man's sister; thus the man is the beggar's brother.

[Krako]

Hmm....im gfuessing the beggar and his man were monks, thus, they are not rerally brothers, well, not in blood, but in religion, many of you who know old christianic church monks enough would get what im doing.

[Bashae]

Both are correct, but Kaezion having answered first gets the points.

Riddle #51
For our ambrosia we were blessed,
by Jupiter, with a sting of death.
Though our might, to some is jest,
we have quelled the dragon's breath.
Who are we?

[Kaezion]

ambrosia = honey.
so i guess you mean bees, because they also have stings.
i can only guess that the "dragon's fire" represents an inflammatory condition of the skin, and bee's stings are effective at treating inflamed areas. it pays to watch discovery channel sometimes.

[Bashae]

I guess it does.

Riddle #52
Colored as a maiden tweaked,
time was naught when I began;
through the garden I was sneaked,
I alone am the fall of man.
What am I?

[Daryl C]

An Apple

It was there at the dawn of time.....through the garden of eden...and was the partial cause to death for humans

[Bashae]

Well done.

Riddle #53
Early ages the iron boot tread,
with Europe at her command.
Through time power slipped and fled,
'til the creation of new holy land.
Who am I?

[Bashae]

Hint: Countries.

[Krako]

uh...SPAIN?

spain was the most dominant of the european countries in the time around the great armada

which alo explained how its power wained, because elizabeth I always defeated the armada everytime it came towards england....

and the holy land? well spain DID participate in the colonisation of america didnt it?

[Kaezion]

Rome. everyone's heard of their glory in their early ages, when they were among the biggest and strongest empires in the world. however, through continuous barbarian attacks and uprisings over the years, Rome declined, until someone by the name of Charlemagne established the Holy Roman Empire.

[Krako]

yes but rome isnt a country, its a city. so you should have said ITALY. the reason? well...kaezion already pointed that out.

[Bashae]

Actually Rome works as well, but Krako answered first so... And the hint was for the original answer (Spain).

Riddle #54

one sick, one cold.
The earth we span,
to prey upon man.

This one is actually quite hard so I'll give you a hint straight off: Mythology.

[Krako]

geezus, this is a toughee.

[Nuu™™]

The four horsemen of the apocolypse? Maybe?
