Someone's going to be either very disappointed or very, very happy. :rolleyes:

[Gary.Lowe]

I am not a number I am a free man!

[Bonker Gudd]

Are you a Doorbell?

[Gary.Lowe]

Nope...

[Gary.Lowe]

ps

Ignore the free man bit as that was just crap on the brain overspill

[Bonker Gudd]

[Arbiter]

Oh. Beach beat me to it.

I guess it's right then, if someone agrees with me.

[Gary.Lowe]

close but no cigar

[Arbiter]

Dunno then. That was my best answer.

(PS - Gary, are you out tonight for Mardi Gras? I'm gonna be out with my favourite dykes (but I'll be on the hunt for straight birds. ;) ) )

[Gary.Lowe]

Hint: Think closer to home

Can't do tonight ben as I have to do boring stuff like pack for my hols. We will have to get together some time though and have an old MBS reunion.

[beachbum]

I am huge yet small.
Smallest planet but bigger than a house

I am a dog yet not a dog.
Pluto was a cartoon dog

I am last yet sometimes not.
Pluto sometimes crosses inside Neptune's orbit

I am a god yet not.
Pluto was a Roman god but not a greek (or vice versa)

[Arbiter]

YES!!!

Beach has to have it right this time.

Damn, I didn't even think of that.

It was the sometimes last and sometimes that I didn't get with regards to Sirius, but it makes sense with Pluto 'cos of the cross with Neptunes orbit.

Damn, outsmarted by a Bum! :D

[Arbiter]

And he even posts an explanation before me as well!

Huh!

[DerFarm]

Most Excellent, Bum.

I must admit, I had NO idea.

I gave the riddle to the Review Department

I am huge yet small.
I am a dog yet not a dog.
I am last yet sometimes not.
I am a god yet not.

And they came up with the answer "Shepherd/Shepard"

with the obvious correlations of
BigMaleHuman vs SmallBorderCollie

a shepard dog (german) vs a human herder of sheep

the shepherd animal will sometimes work as the leader of the sheep herd entering the paddock, sometimes as a follower moving the sheep along.

The German Shepard has never been considered a god (as opposed to cats, for instance), but the analogy of Christ as a shepherd is ubiquitous.

A good answer, but by adding a 5th line: "I am not bound by any human language", it preserves the Pluto answer.

I still thought it a good attempt
