The distance of a lie is between the mind and the mouth! You sir are the closest and I'm gonna say correct. It's from a story about a Jewish rabbi in medieval Spain during the Moore occupation. The governor of the city asked the rabbi three questions, and if he could answer all of them the Jewish would be allowed to stay in the city. The answer the Rabbi gave to this question was the width of your hand. That is the distance between your ear and your eye, so what you HEAR and what you SEE. Your's is a really nice take on it and I like it! Also DeathAngel I liked your's as well, another good take on this. Like I said before this isn't exactly a riddle, but oh well

The one with the rabbi, as I can remember at least, is "What is the distance between the truth and a lie?"

The version I read is what I said, but I am sure there are different versions of it.

Throw away the outside and cook the inside, then eat the outside and throw away the inside. What is it?

A chicken. You throw away the feathers, cook the meat, eat the meat then throw away the bones.
But, Darin is looking for a different answer. Good luck, gentlemen!

We used to have a riddles thread (probably still do, berried somewhere deep in the forums...), and I thought I'd make a new one. Rules are simple: One person posts a riddle, the first person to solve it "wins" and gets to post the next riddle. Should the winner decide not to post the next riddle, first come first serve. Honor system is also in place. No using Google! (Or any search engine etc you loophole finding jerks!)

I'll start off with an easy one:
The one who makes it doesn't want it, the one who needs it doesn't know it, and the one who buys it doesn't need it.
What is it?

Another easy one.
You bury me when I’m alive, and dig me up when I’m dead. What am I?
