The traveller is an iceberg. It melts, travels east and spreads in all directions, gets heated and turns to condensation and then rains down when it cools.
I know this is an easy one, but you'd be surprised how many people don't know the answer so:
As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were going to St. Ives?

A: One man.
Now mine.
A shadow started out for Eldorado,
Leaving all he left behind.
He searched for things ahead,
Which of course he'll find.
He found the golden city
But it was not what you expect.
No bigger than a grain of sand,
Nothing but a speck.
Eldorado, O Eldorado!
Where do your golden gates lie?
It lies in the reddish-gray hills of Neverbeing,
And it won't give up a sigh.
Find the valley of hills with grayish tint,
And the lone person who might have a correspondent within.
And that is enough for hints.
What is Eldorado?

How did the man get out? (3 ways)
Remæus bought a bag of oranges on Monday, and ate a third of them. On Tuesday he ate half of the remaining oranges. On Wednesday he looked in the bag to find he only had two oranges left. How many oranges were originally in the bag?
A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason.

My tens digit is five more than my ones digit.
My hundreds digit is eight less than my tens digit.

Let me see if I can remember this.... And I thought it was a mirror and a table. But let me take a stab at it...
He took the saw and sawed the table.
He took the two halves and made a hole.
And went out through the hole. >.>

"That" doesn't have any R's.
[I honestly don't know your riddle. D'=]
Mr Green, Mr Red and Mr Blue were sitting in a bar ,having a drink. One was wearing a red suit, the other a blue suit and the other green. "Have you noticed," said the man in the blue suit, "that not one of us is wearing a suit corresponding to our names?"
Mr Red looked at the other two and said "You're absolutely right."
What colour suit is each man wearing?
