This deserves to be in the clever pool

What is a man?

Genius.

So, if the sphinx is topless, does this deserves the "convenient_censoring" tag?

Somehow, I am expecting Drac to lose, since his answer will most likely be...

I got the joke the second I saw the thumbnail. It's those kinds of posts that make me smile inside and outside :D

I got the biggest smile on my face the first time I saw this. Brilliance.

Yeah, that's not how Jeopardy works.

Not his obligation to know how the show works.
I am not even sure, but I guess this is the show you have to answer with a question.
Meaning "What is a man?" would be the correct answer.

Well given that the name of the show is spelled out in the comic and the format of the show is an integral part of the joke, to understand the joke it sort of IS his obligation to know how the show works.

I updated it so it's a link. Btw, how is this not Danbooru appropriate? Just out of curiosity.

Wasn't made by a Japanese artist, I believe. Or if it was, it's not enough in the style.

Two words: Explain littleshrimp.

Not enough too hoos to be an exception I guess?

Bah, people here are philistines. Crazy gothic lolitas are fine, but not Castlevania? I swear... *grumble* kids these days etc

As much a fan of Touhou I am, I also don't get it.
And I can only hope the exceptions have a better reason than simply being Touhou material.

I'm guessing it was just a miss. Should it be put up for re-approval (if such a thing exists)? Since a couple of Jo's other pics got approved.

There is a Deletion Appeal Thread in the forums.

It seems to have worked. Thanks, whoever put it up for reapproval!

This...is awesome.

Josue Pereira, you win. You JUST. FUCKING. WIN.

And they asked this question on the real Jeopardy last week!

http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=3583

"It's All a Myth" category. Was worth 7,400, though, not 10,000. But so close!

If the person questioning the answer hammed it up, I'd be forever grateful for them.

The best part is how Dracula looks like he's just been patiently waiting for this for the whole game.

i get the joke, but i don't understand the riddle. what sort of "feet" is it talking about, and what does that have do do with man?

Philistines.

The Riddle of the Sphinx

© Copyright 2002, Jim Loy

In Greek mythology, the Sphinx sat outside of Thebes and asked this riddle of all travelers who passed by. If the traveler failed to solve the riddle, then the Sphinx killed him/her. And if the traveler answered the riddle correctly, then the Sphinx would destroy herself. The riddle:

What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?

Oedipus solved the riddle, and the Sphinx destroyed herself.

The solution: A man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs as an adult, and walks with a cane in old age.

Of course morning, noon, and night are metaphors for the times in a man's (person's) life. Such metaphors are common in riddles. There were two Thebes, apparently this Thebes was the one in Greece. And this Sphinx was apparently not the one at Giza, in Egypt.

*awkward silence* Yes.

The man is a lie!

I hit backspace thinking "Oh I don't get it, whatever." Then, I began to laugh before it even hit me, and I came back.
