TDA: The sun shining on a sunflower/dandylion/daffodil (i think it's sunflower, but i forget)
The sun is the eye in the /blue/ sky. The plant is the eye in the /green/ earth. They are alike (if it is sunflower) in that they both contain the word "sun."

If a plane crashed on the border of the US and canada, where would you bury the survivers?
This is one of those riddles that you should reread if you don't get it the first time ;D.
Edit:/Some/ spelling mistakes with the /help/ of no_one ;D.

The answer is neither. Because plains don't crash nor do they fly. Planes however, do. On that same track of thought, there is no border between the US and canida so it's impossible to burrie the survivers, or anything for that matter, in either country. The question never stated where either, so providing a location doesn't seem like a suitable response. Sorry if you think I'm being a prick, but that's what first came to mind. Typically, the question is phrased, "If a plane crashed on the border of the US and England, where would you bury the deceased?" and of course, everybody shouts out, "There is no border between the US and England!" But there is a border between US/Canada, so I suppose the answer lies in the fact that most people don't bury the living... unless they're psychotic. lol Edit: Nvm, Coren beat me.

no2k: I've always heard it between US and Canada because people would think about which country the people would be buried. All this time you know that you don't bury survivors at all, of course. I find it more funny to watch people think for a while about something that should only take a second and then have no answer whatsoever rather than taking a second to give a wrong answer.

Well, that's why I said "deceased" in the alternate example I gave above rather than "survivors." Heh, I dunno, it's just the one I'd always heard. *shrugs*

....wow. "/LeT/mE/fIx/It/." Please never do that again. TDA uses slashes to emphasize words and phrases. I have used them a few times before because I was rushed and did not feel like typing the combination of [, i, and ], and then at the end typing the combination of [, /, i, and ]. It is easier, but the way that you used it is atrocious.

Starfire: if you're going to use the slashes, use them /to frame the entire phrase rather than every word/. Combined with the utter (and seemingly deliberate) disreguard for captialization rules, yes it is very agrivating.
Fyre: Tolkien had it as sun on Daisies (which do have a very bright yellow center so could be seen as similar to the sun.)
New riddle: As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with 7 wives. Every wife had 7 sacks. Every sack had 7 cats. Every cat had 7 kits. Kits, Cats, Sacks, and Wives, How many were going to St. Ives?

DA, you should know this one
