If someone can get the Onion riddle, that is a perfect example of a seemingly obscene one that has an innocent solution. - Cian Gillebhrath 18:19, 20 Jul 2004 (EST)

A list of riddles would be great if it doesn't break copyright, especially the obscene ones would provide a period amusement for reenactors to amuse each other with. Tiff

  • I'm sure the originals in Old English can be used. Then its just a matter of either doing the translation yourself, finding an out-of-copyright translation or find a publically released translation. I think the first two are quite possible. BTW the Monash library should have copies of translations. I know the Melb Uni does coz I have used it a couple of times :^) - Cian Gillebhrath
