You’re doing this on purpose; now we’re all wondering what this stupid riddle is.
:mad:
Yeah, but how do you look it it 
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
look it up
Loud and clear! Does everybody know what he’s talking about but me? Heeeeeeelp!
I have to stand with you Anaamika. And that’s not just because you buy me stuff, either…but it helps.
I too was thinking of the riddle of the Sphynx but the OP has not been back to confirm if Bippy was correct.
So you’re a whore, standing with me because I buy you stuff? 
We need to have another exchange, I haven’t bought anything for a Doper since Valentine’s Day!
“forbidden riddle” gets zero responses from Google, but hey . . . BAND NAME!
Was the answer to the riddle, once, for twenty minutes… in 1960?
or maybe just 42?
Is it “What is the sound of one hand clapping?”
Some say the answer is “The sound of someone being slapped.”
I say, flap your fingers against your palm hard enough to make a noise. There ya go, the sound of one hand clapping.
I read somewhere that the proper Zen response is
to lean forward and thrust out one hand with your palm facing out.
The somewhere where I read that? That would be this Straight Dope column.

Sarcasm.
I demand that I may or may not be Vroomfondel!
