The Moon's name is Luna.

Nope.

Luna is my brother. Everyone knows him.

Most people use the generic "the moon" rather than Luna so that fits. And followers of Luna are "Lunatics", and we've visited the moon. So who is the younger brother of the moon? Does the earth have another lesser known satellite that dances with us?

Dave

Is that directed at me? I can't say too much without giving it away.

Carl

Just thinking out loud, perhaps it will help someone else because I'm missing it...

Dave

Mars?

2010 TK7?

This is my vote too. You beat me to it

Yes,that must be correct!

TBH, I never would have got this (assuming it is correct) unless you had first mentioned the moon, as I was thinking of something more "down to earth".

So, if it is correct, here is another:

I am the golden boy, tall, proud and articulate, but I lack courage and rely on my brave little brother for his leadership, even though he cannot walk or talk. Who, or what am I?

Not quite the near earth asteroid I was thinking of but it fits as well so I'll accept it. The one I had in mind was 3753 Cruithne. You can read about it here:

http://www.astro.uwo.ca/~wiegert/3753/3753.html

In fact the first part of the riddle was nearly plagiarized from that first paragraph. I know I've heard it called Earth's Second Moon before. It seem however that many such asteroid are in similar situations.

Carl

Oops, I had no idea that asteroid existed so was a bit presumptious, but if you accept my answer then my last riddle stands... Any ideas anyone?

No nothing yet.......

Hint 1: Think fiction

You're C3PO?

Yay, good job! Your turn...

That's where the problem lies, all the riddles I can remember now are terrible riddles that are told for their (not so large) humoristic value, variants on the "sawdust" riddle and a riddle that relies on dice throwing and questioning the thrower.

So I leave the next riddle open to the next poster.

OK, one more from me:

What is the *second* most difficult riddle/question ever?

Answer : What is the most difficult riddle/question ever?

Correct, because you can only answer that question when you've answered all other questions in the universe, except for the most difficult question itself.

Ouch. I also had that answer, but it wouldn't let me make another post so soon after my last. I left it open in my browser, and forgot about it.
Oh well

New riddle:
Most of the time I am sitting indoors, when I am outdoors I am usually between two doors.

A chair?

-Doug

Not a chair!

I am the answer to this riddle. I spend most of my time inside. When I am out I am in my 2 door car, which stand on either side of me.

Not what we are searching!
Hint: You write 'inside', I did write 'indoors'.

Another hint : The Keyword to this riddle is open & closed.

A lock ?

A lock is inside the door except when it's outside and when it is, it's generally on a gate, in between the two doors of the gate.

Yes it is a lock, a lock on a door (sitting in doors) or a lock on a river (between 2 doors).

Well, since Mixer never posted a new riddle, I will.

Name a word that becomes shorter if you add 2 letters to it.

-Doug

Short. Too easy.

Your turn!

-Doug

Here is one just for the lols.

The man who makes it sells it. The man who buys it never uses it. The man who uses it never sees it. What is it?

coffin.

you got it.

Here is one I've just made up...

I'm not the brightest apple in the bunch but I do have a system named after me that works. That system has produced results unknown of anywhere else. What is my name?

Carl

Ortega?

Nope.

Dr. Dre?

Nope.

Hint 1: I really am very average and middle aged.

Hint 2: Everyone knows me, my system, and the result my system has produced.

Steve Jobs?

Nope.

Democrates?

Nope.

Hint 3: You see me everyday.

Dewey?

Nope.

Hint 4: I give preferential treatment to those who live in the Chatham Islands.

I'm not sure about the "I'm not the brightest apple" reference but if that's an anti-Apple computer reference then I'm going with Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux Operating system -- something anyone with Android or a myriad of other devices would see every day.

The Sun

Ooh fantastic, this has to be the answer. The sun's name is Sol though.
