You got it.

Close but no.

Here's a riddle that I heard from a show:

If a farmer gave 17 cents to one son, and 8 cents to his other son, what time would it be?

I'd say... A well.

Yes, she was burned at the stake.  Generally, when people are burned to death they're known to have been fried.

Okay, it seems that I've stumped everyone with this one the answer is:

Spoiler

Joan of Arc (French Fries)

[close]

Guess "Burger King" would have probably been too obvious...

Yes.  THIS historical figure tends to show up in pretty much EVERY burger joint out there.  And to help this along a little...

Spoiler

she happens to be found in fish eateries too.

Nope. This historical leader was not a king.  Good try though.

Hint 1:

Spoiler

This was a real historical figure and a specific one.

Hint 2:

Spoiler

By the prerequisite of being a king this figure could never have been one.

Hint 3:

Spoiler

Red, White, and Blue

No, it's not any of those.  This may be a difficult one since the term is a pun on a primarily American-used term.

In case no one realized it, "Historical leader commonly found in burger joints," is the riddle.
No one cares to even hazard a guess?

Yes, pets was right.

Historical leader commonly found in burger joints.

Well, in this case he was.  The answer was Candle.

New one:

Take a step backwards
And change what may be considered a pest
Into these.

You got the first two right but not the third.   This answer to this one does make more sense.

Correct.

Okay, back to the ones from the game:

1. It flies without wings,
Strikes witout beak, teeth or talons.
It has no eyes, in its pointed head,
But it can kill birds in flight.

2. Up and down they go, but never move...

3. He gets short when he gets old.
He goes out then it gets cold.

You'll find it on every tree,
It's a drink made for me
On a course it doesn't want to be struck
What is it?

Which part of a clock is used?

Um, the face?

And since no one got the answer to What a dog does that a man steps in the answer is:

Spoiler

He "pants."

Okay, being on the right track...

Your bones?

HA!  You got them BOTH wrong!  That's the beauty of these riddles.  They lead you in one direction, but the answers are in a totally different one.

I'd say that the answer to the "Two eyes but no head" is "A Button."

The ones that live inside everyone are, "Your Organs."

As for two weird ones that I've heard:

1. A man does it standing up, a woman does it sitting down, a dog does it on three legs.

2. What does a dog do that a man steps in?

What an interesting rule. Meaning, if the riddle is composed so that it may have 100 possible answers, the correct one is still the one... that was chosen in some game?

HA HA!  That's a good one!  Yes, it is odd but it was what I figured was needed.

The actual answer was "Eyes."  However, yes they are from Betrayal at Krondor and those are the answers I'm looking for.  Since we seem to have a pretty worthy riddle up, I'll leave off for now.
