If you can do what you cant do, And you cant do what you can do,
What can you not-not do?

kan u knot not due dew do doo doo

ShadowHunt · 03-07-2007, 08:11 PM

you can do what you cant do

or in other words, you can do what you are unable to successfully complete

clmanges · 03-07-2007, 08:51 PM

Well, let's see . . . for one, you can't take the bullet back after you've pulled the trigger . . . am I on the right track here?

Bruce FLinch · 03-07-2007, 09:57 PM

I give up, my brain is full & it hurts

Popgunner · 03-07-2007, 11:01 PM

You can't do what you can do?

durk · 03-07-2007, 11:11 PM

Uh, 23?

charagrin · 03-08-2007, 12:14 AM

FOUL!

Questioner must have answer to question before posting! Not fair! If I'm gonna hurt my brain cells that much, I should at least be rewarded with the correct answer. LOL

charagrin · 03-08-2007, 01:24 AM

But I posted it hoping someone could tell me the answer, it hurts my brain to think about it.

Seriously though, it has no answer. Think about it. You cant do anything because you cant do what you can do. And what you cant do you can do, bringing us back to you cant do what you can do.
See?

berto64 · 03-08-2007, 01:33 AM

Lead Lobber · 03-08-2007, 03:06 PM

Good Grief!!!

JLA · 03-08-2007, 04:14 PM

dont mean to nitpick, but to correct your "quote" at the bottom of your post charagrin, its "God created man, and sam colt made em equal" saw it on a movie somewheres, but i dont remember where, or what movie..... and trying to remember hurts more than that question.... anyhooooo, welcome to tff.

Charagrin, where you one of those people in school, who was always trying to get someone to do their work?

charagrin · 03-08-2007, 09:36 PM

Actually I quit school and got my GED. As for my quote, my favorite movie is Hidalgo with Vigo Mortenson. I own it and watch it once in awhile so im pretty sure my quotes dead on. If its not, its the movies fault.

Lead Lobber · 03-08-2007, 09:38 PM

I like ShadowHunt's answer best; it overcomes all, like the Little Engine That Could. The riddle is not a riddle; of course, just nonsence designed to distract the monkeys that touched the monolith.

I've got it... No matter where you go - there you are.

After a tremendous amount of thought, I'll say 15 seconds or so, two possibilities exist.

1. Give up on an impossible task
.
2. There is no answer - it is a bunch of positive's-negative's strung together to keep some idiot busy. Like telling a blond you dropped a ten-dollar-bill in the corner of a round room and she can have it.

WarSteed · 03-09-2007, 07:37 AM

The answer is Elvis

foxfire · 03-09-2007, 01:59 PM

I'd say it means " All things are possible with the right attitude. But impossible with the wrong attitude". So therefore Grasshopper, it is in the minds eye, that which you seek, and is but yet a little distance from you, as the sands drift in the wind, and the wind is carried by the heat of the sun, so do thoughts fall like scattered rain to fill the empty pools of the night.

charagrin · 03-09-2007, 10:47 PM

Sorry foxfire, thats more confusing than the riddle.

Just kidding, its the best answer yet.

SouthernMoss · 03-10-2007, 10:02 PM

It's an enigma.

Lead Lobber · 03-13-2007, 06:19 AM

Sounds more like an enema, to me.
