BTW, I am thinking about starting a thread for riddles. Example: What is a grizzly without hair?
Answer: a bare bear
8) | Ya,Ron, just like in English, we usually prefer to say someone passed by than die directly, so here in China, we say the same, "qu shi le", and Shane got the answer :)
And sorry, Ron, I'm sorry I don't know how to play this new game?!
I think I need more clues, can I? |

I think I need more clues, can I? | It's a rhyming riddle. That is, the two words in the answer rhyme with each other. This one is also a homonym pair. First word: a grizzly is a type of ________. Second word: something that is naked (unclothed) is ________. In the original posting I put the answer in white print. When you highlight it it shows up in blue.
