An elderly man was sitting alone on a dark path, right? He wasn't certain of which direction to go, and he'd forgotten both where he was traveling to and who he was. He'd sat down for a moment to rest his weary legs, and suddenly looked up to see an elderly woman before him. She grinned toothlessly and with a cackle, spoke: 'Now your third wish. What will it be?'
'Third wish?' The man was baffled. 'How can it be a third wish if I haven't had a first and second wish?'
'You've had two wishes already,' the hag said, 'but your second wish was for me to return everything to the way it was before you had made your first wish. That's why you remember nothing; because everything is the way it was before you made any wishes.' She cackled at the poor berk. 'So it is that you have one wish left.'
'All right,' said the man, "I don't believe this, but there's no harm in wishing. I wish to know who I am.'
'Funny,' said the old woman as she granted his wish and disappeared forever. 'That was your first wish.'

this made me smile, thanks!
Nice. For anyone who hasn't played the game, the answer to the riddle (the title of this post) is "regret."
An alernative solution to the riddle would be A Witch.
Actually, the answer isn't *only* regret. The Nameless one himself says:
"If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you *believe* can change the nature of a man, can. I’ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me."
The answer sounds more like Belief. Belief can change a man.
I feel where you are supposedly making any post, Thought about create but your site is a result of your identiity, and it is a manifestation of your sees by themselves. Finally some tolerant and so receptive with other strategies. Most of us within the web-based world really are a very little immature
Dude, cool observations :). Furthermore, did you hear that The Sacramento Kings traded Andres Nocioni and Spencer Hawes to the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason to obtain 6-11 center Samuel Dalembert.

Hi good people , I am very new to this , so please excuse my ignorance ... Here is the dilema ... Never flown anything ever ... My pc graphic card not compatible with Pheonix or any higher end newer Sim... Going with FMS Sim ... It is downloaded onto pc and does work with keypad ... Hobby shop owner will not sell me my Radian Glider with Spektrum tx included until he is sure what interface and plug in will operte the Spektrum Tx on the FMS program ?? I hope this question even makes sense , but could someone please explain to me exactly what I need to buy to get a Parkzone Radian Spektrum Tx to operate properly with the FMS flight Sim ?? I am very anxious to learn how to Glide , keep getting turned back at every thing I try ... I am on a very tight disability budget and cannot afford to by a new pc just to get a newer version of Pheonix , to Sim a glider ... Very frustrated over here just trying to get off the ground even on a Simple Simulator ... If there is a solution please explain to me in simple laymans terms so I can start flying a similar glider on FMS Sim to the Parkzone Radian Glider ?? Please ... Thank you kindly ... Caseman ... :)
