Riddles Round 3

[Firemeboy]

Eater of all things electric, you're up.

[Lightning Eater]

Would someone else be able to go for me? I only had three or four riddles of my own, but when I checked the first Riddle thread to see if they were there, they were all taken

[Eric James Stone]

Would someone else be able to go for me?

Hmm.  A difficult question.  I'm going to take a wild guess and say, "Yes."

Assuming that's the correct answer, I win and get to present the next riddle:

A man leaves for vacation on Friday.  He is gone exactly seven days, but he comes back on Wednesday.  How is this possible?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

He's riding a horse named Wednesday.

[Eric James Stone]

Correct.

I'm going to steal a riddle from Shadows of Undrentide. You'll have to wait a little for it though.

[Firemeboy]

I was about ready to pull out my international time zone chart, think about leap year, and the 'leap second' that just took palce, and figure out what was going on.

Thanks, e, for saving me all that work.

Same here, I was all ready to figure out when he would have to leave on friday and how many timezones he would have to pass.

You weren't kidding.

[Eric James Stone]

This isn't that "How do you keep an idiot in suspense?" riddle, is it?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

oh, uh.
yeah, I keep forgetting to write down the phraseology.

I could pitch a slow ball instead if you like.

I just saw this on digg last night.  I was up to 22 before I accidently hit an advertisement, and then couldn't 'go back' to what I had built...
