While I don't have the volume that Reeka did, I came across this riddle this morning. I thought I'd toss it out for your general pleasure.

What English word becomes plural when you add an "s" to the end, and feminine when you add another "s" to the end?

Ready.... go!

Geez... I'll get my dictionary. I thought it was going to be easy. Something like this:

What is the beginning of the end, end of life and the start of eternity?

That was not the one in the original riddle, but it is a winner. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

So... what TWO words in the English language become plural when you add an "S", and feminine when you add another "s"?
