This is the Sphinx's riddle. A person/human. In the morning you are young and crawl on four legs. In the evening you are an adult and walk on two legs. At night you are an old man and walk on two legs with a cane.

An alcoholic, he walks on four legs in the morning because he is hung over and cannot stand up, he walks on two legs in the evening to get to the bar, and at night at the bar he walks on three legs, (one hand grabbing on a chair for support)because he is drunk, hey you got to admire my craftiness on an old saying such as this one...

Any man. As a child, crawls with both hands and knees; as an adult, walks on two legs; and in old age, uses a cane for support while walking.

this was the winner 5 months ago....;.
It's amazing how so few people read the whole question.
Oedipus, the poor guy. He screwed himself over... Or was he screwed from the start?
This is a good example of a big question that has been wrestled with since the times of Sophocles, and one we still have no answer to today. We as human beings have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. We want to know everything. As it stands, we don't. The struggle, however, manifests itself in many ways. We see God(s) as an answer, where something tailor-made to fit the questions with the right answer. We see science, struggling through a process of empirical observation to derive knowledge in a repeatable fashion. We have art, literature and music, where the search expresses itself through all manner of manifestations which entice every one of the senses and stretch the imagination. And we also have philosophy, which can be expressed and explored in all of the forms above.
Philosophy is where we ask our big questions. Yahoo! Answers can get philosophical. You find people asking intelligent questions like this, and sometimes you get intelligent people answering. You explore and learn. You learn about different viewpoints from all over the world, even. When I have these same big questions, I most often use literature and philosophy to express my explorations of those. I ask big questions of my friends, as I'm intellectually prejudiced (in other words, I tend to only surround myself with people that I consider to be intelligent) and thus find answers of all kinds of totally different approaches that I enjoy quite thoroughly. I ask my parents and family, as I respect most of their opinions and viewpoints on complex matters. Who cares if we agree? As long as we understand that you can only come up with your own best answer to the unanswerable and keep an open mind, it doesn't matter!
The flaw with Yahoo! Answers is that I'm going to be buried underneath a flood of idiocy by the time I'm done with this.
