  All I can come up with is shapes,  round is to the earth as oval is to egg.  Was I even close?

  You are on the right track.

  One more clue I suppose is due.The last word is Egg.If I give anymore, I'll give it away.

  Heavy Is To The Earth, as Light Is To The Egg, or
  Dense Is To The Earth, as Porous Is To The Egg,
  Big Is To The Earth, as Small Is To The Egg, or
  Old is To The Earth, as New Is To The Egg.
   
  Okay, you found out a compulsion of mine.  I can't help it.  I feel like I hogged the riddle,  I'll be better next time.  My bet is old to new.
   
  SW:  I know you figured this out. 
   

• Club38 said on Apr 03, 2007....

  Three F's,

     Those are all very good and do fit.However they are not what I had in mind.I'll give you 1 more clue.Being that you show genuine interest.The ______'s bring change.

• The_three_F_words said on Apr 03, 2007....

  Okay, last shot.  If the season's bring change, than time is the clue and Past is to the earth as future is to the egg.   So, which came first, the chicken or the egg.  And that  is what has not been proven yet, that I know of.
   
  I feel like I got caught running around in the maze looking for cheese,  lol.
   
   

• Club38 said on Apr 03, 2007....

  Hmm,you're going off base now.I'm starting to think that no one will get it.

  No one isn't here yet, so, tell those of us that are here what the answer is please. I look forward to more riddles and puzzles that are geared in paradigm shifts and lateral thinking.  Bring it on.  I am really rusty. 

  Have you found some of those management consultant websites that use basic word games to help new manager/supervisors see problem solving in new ways? 

  Thanks for the brain stretcher, maybe next time.

• The_three_F_words said on Apr 04, 2007....

  Boy, am I compulsive.  Okay, really, my last shot, but stop those electric shocks to get me to the cheese quicker.  Ouch.
   
  Theory that the earth is dying, I'll go with it.  Death is to the earth as life is to the egg or ending is to the earth as beginning is to the egg.
   
  Answer, por favor senor ricardo.

• Club38 said on Apr 04, 2007....

  Ricardo?Yo soy Abel Oviedo

  LOL

  O.K. I suppose I might as well give the answer.So here it goes;

  Comet is to the Earth,as Sperm is to the Egg.

  Think about it,in all ways they are similar.My next post will be about the similarities.Thanks for all your interest.I truly appreciate it.

  perhaps sadly, i had no idea!

• Club38 said on Apr 04, 2007....

  I must admit,I stretched the truth when I said that the answers wouldn't be to hard to find.

  Club38 

• The_three_F_words said on Apr 04, 2007....

  Dude, good riddle, and I enjoyed the task, and you successfully stumped the participants. And yea, once you have the answer it is easy to see the similarities.  High Five and thumbs up for humor, but comet to earth is death (theorectically) and sperm to egg would mean life, if the two should meet.

  Odds wise, the similarities are in the extreme; greater odds for a negative outcome if the earth and a comet should meet and greater odds for a positive outcome if the sperm and the egg should meet.  Greater evidence to prove sperm/egg outcome and less evidence to prove comet/earth outcome.

  But, if i may ask, why the choice of slant on your clues?  Was this a problem solving challenge or a psychological experiment?  Was it to test yourself or us?   

  Me? Curious to a fault and an obsession to understand.

  Vayo Con Dios, senor.

• Club38 said on Apr 04, 2007....

  I saw (and see) that a collision between a comet and the Earth is just as positive as one with sperm and egg.Say for example that it was a comet that killed off the dinosaurs while at the same time spreading the seeds that would eventually become our ancestors and us.Coincidently,being born into a body that with time eventually dies.The death that will come is like a birth to your spirit.

  As to who  was I testing? I was testing the psyches of the readers.To help me find ways to intrigue people to read articles that I intend to post in the future. 

  Till next time,

  Club38

• The_three_F_words said on Apr 04, 2007....

  Intrigued, yup.  Put off alittle, yea.  I guess I would ask, do you want to be controversial, then power up, you got the right tweak going.  But, I rose to the bait, while others did not, makes me wonder if you were too transparent in your efforts to gauge this potential readership. 

  Me, I learned something from this encounter.  I'm still a novice of many, many things.  But I welcomed the opportunity to cross swords as they say with a bird of a different feather.

  Good luck in your endeavors.

• Club38 said on Apr 05, 2007....

  Three F's,I thank you for being honest.To put you or others "off " is not and was not my intention.As for being controversial,all I could say is that I've learned tolive with this.I have accepted that it is an unfortunate consequence that will often arise from what I am trying to do.Everyone has something that they can give in some way to others in life.So my part is what I intend to do.
  One more thing,I didn't feel as if we were crossing swords.I apologize if my words were sharp in a way as such that they caused a cut when they were touched.
  Peace,

  I have thought exactly as you in the past. I made a photographic representation of this concept in 1998.
  
  Thanks for sharing.
