Mr. Punch's Puzzles: The Riddle of the Week









Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle.  The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.  Some week, I may offer a nifty prize from our online store.  But, this week, again, I don't feel like it.

So, here's this week's riddle.  We ask that you don't Google the answer.  Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all.  Give it a shot and see what you can come up with.  Here we go... No cheating...

Ripped from my mother's womb,
Beaten and burned,
I become a blood thirsty killer.
What am I?



And, the answer is...

Iron Ore

Who'd have thought?  I think, though everyone's answers were quite witty, Darcy wins this one with her response of "Maggie or Wallis Simpson."  Thanks to all!  Have a good weekend.  Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.






Mr. Punch wants you to always know “the way to do it,” so why not check out our “That’s the way to do it!” products which are available only at our online store.
