No, that’s right! You can give the next one, I think that’s how it works. bumholes with liberal arts backgrounds like to say ‘the universe’ or ‘creation’ or some such ****, but that’s an infinite recursion, and totally invalid. |

This one stumped me for literally like 3 years, before I finally found the answer online. Got it from the House of Leaves forums, but it’s older than that:
A man is walking in the city around lunchtime. He sees a restaurant with a board outside advertising the special of the day, shark fin soup.
He walks in and is seated. When his waiter comes by, he tells him, “I’ll have the special.” The waiter brings the soup. The man takes a bite, then freezes, a horrified look on his face. He bolts from the restaurant, pulls out a gun and shoots himself in the middle of the street. Why?
Hint: He still wore his wedding ring. |

xXxsavedRxXx Posted: i am just gonna guess he bit in and felt a ring under his teeth, his wife must have been eaten by a shark, so he realized that the shark used to make this soup must have eaten his wife, and therefor he in turn was eating his wife |

Absolutely correct, Velveteen! Kinda. It definitely answers the riddle, anyway, so 100%.
The solution I heard was that the man, his wife and a stranger were on a cruise when the ship ran aground and capsized. The three managed to swim alone to a deserted island, where they waited to be rescued. There was no food. After a week, the man’s wife died. They buried her on the island. The next day the man slept in, and awoke to see the stranger cooking meat over a fire. “Where did you get that?” he asked. “I caught a shark! It was sickly, I was able to wrestle it to land with my bare hands and it suffocated. I cut the best pieces off and threw the rest away.” The two men began to eat, and it was good. “I didn’t know shark meat would be red,” the man said, thoughtfully. “I thought they were fish, and had white flesh.” “Oh, no,” said the stranger, “they don’t have scales like fish, I don’t think they really are fish. Plus they’re huge. I think anything that big and strong has to be warm blooded, so, red meat.” After another week, a rescue helicopter saw the men on the island and rescued them. A year or so later, the man was walking down the street, and, seeing the advertised special, just had to go in and get another taste of delicious shark. Needless to say, he put it all together when the soup came, with chunks of normal, white-pink shark meat with rubbery consistency, not at all like what he’d had on the island. He could only conclude that he had inadvertently cooked and eaten his wife’s body, and couldn’t live with himself afterwards. |

first off, you’re missing the bit about grinding iron or somesuch, second, the answer is time, third that shark fin response seems more like a lateral thinking exercise than a riddle.
OK:
The closer I get the less you see.
What am I? |

yeah, that is way to intricate an answer to be a good riddle, i mean you have to invent a story just to explain it.
