We Need to Sit Down in Our Thinkin' Chair and Think, Think, Think.

I always thought that the Riddler was a pretty good villain, especially in his many ridiculous televisual incarnations. That is, until I stumbled across this hilarious deconstruction of the character by noted Internet satirist Seanbaby. He might be an interesting character, but yeah, nobody's going to put you on a team of evil villains if you keep leaving a trail of clues to their secret hideout. It's just common sense.

Or is it?

These poor schmoes got a little bit tuckered out after their robbery and decided to take a nap. Lucky for them, their newly stolen goods provided them with all the somniferous comforts they could ask for. Too bad they fell asleep seconds away from the crime scene, leaving the cops ample time to close the case, rest their weary feet and ponder, "When is a retard like a writing desk?"

If you're not fans of Carroll, maybe this classic from Tolkien will captivate your wit:

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town
And beats high mountain down.

Text me with the answer and win a free trip to a local ice creamery of your choosing. But text me wrong, and Gotham's toy factory is history! Speaking of which, tick-tock, tick-tock! You have 24 Hours.

(I'll give you a hint: It's not Rosie O'Donnell when she's hungry.)
