Perhaps you should make a joke forum Otaku.
Here's my joke. It's abstract folks. If you don't think outside the box, and I mean WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY outside the box, you'll never get it. HINT: Play on words.
ESCAPE ---------- You are fully enclosed in a cube with only a mirror and a table to aide you in your escape. How do you get out?
(Answer to be posted on Friday.)

I'm sure if the demand calls for it, it will be so...
Is this riddle anything related to the movie, The Cube?

No, sorry, no relation to movies. This is a joke I heard from my stepfather back in the 80s.

nope, not a two-sided mirror. if you break the mirror, all you have is the wall and no way out.
nope, not a joke from alice in wonderland.

all you have is the wall? i guess if you sit and stare at the reflection in the mirror of the wall and table long enough you'll think you're already out.

hmm Ive thought of ice cube, too... then I could use the sun and the mirror and get it melt... but then what would I do with the table?

Junkdna wants a far out answer, here it is:
Hellndie stumbled across the answer. The cube is a radically huge icecube and when you use the mirror to melt it, it creates a ocean of water. You use the table as a flotation device until you are rescued.

Heh, that's a good one, but not the solution I'm afraid. ;D

if its not chess or ice cube... then it's a fish tank. You would be the fish and to break free, you would have to push the mirror (cube or what the tank is made of) off of the table.

Wow, pretty original idea, but sorry, not the solution. Trying USING the mirror like you would in every day life, and then twist (play with) the results from there.

Hmm... I have an idea, but its really WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY outside the box (lol)
My thinking is that the table and the mirror are distractions, things to get us to think about that have nothing to do with the solution, So I'm gonna put out there, that the cube we're in is a room with a table and mirror, So to escape I'm gonna open a door and walk out.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That is indeed waaaaaaaaaaay outside the box, but unfortunately, there is no door. Would have been a nice trick though, next time I'll use it. You still have to use the mirror and the table (in that order) to get out.

look in the mirror, realise how you look (its morning) and smash the table through the wall. OR look in the mirror and realise that the cube is all in your head...

Look in the mirror... okay, then what? What do you SEE? (this is the hardest part of the riddle because it's where the play on words begins)

I've been crazy for a while now, So I'll see you when you get here. So how about taking the legs off the table and wedging them into the corners of a wall then using the table part to bash the legs in until they push one section of the wall out.

answer - look into the mirror and see a cube on a table. you are the cube so to get out, just roll off the table

helllndie- no such thing as too much work when your escaping a Cube... besides, i though the table, ourselves and the mirror were already inside the cube, so how would we see it on the table? Maybe your crazy one here...
