    Well, I have said that I can't tell a joke and now I find that I can't tell a riddle either. I told my husband the same riddle and he said practically the same answers as Peter with three guesses except one of his answers was the wind. It made me think about my riddle. So the answer is .... current but not as a river current or a wind current but an electrical current..... get it. :( So Peter I guess it would be back to you. I'm just better at guessing.

    Since @Peter Remington hasn't been here since early April, I'll just start another riddle.

    A man is locked up in a room that is 10 feet by 10 feet by 10 feet. The walls are concrete, the floor is made of dirt, and the only openings are a locked door and a skylight. The man has a small shovel, so he starts to dig a hole in the floor. Although he knows that it will be impossible to tunnel out of his cell, yet he continues to dig. What is his plan?
