You guys remember Uncle Time? And his Riddle? What do you think it was? and what would be the answer?
See - I've been thinking....
If the Clotho Legacy ever works either because of Calix or Jacobs, it's been spec'd that all those floating islands would crash into the ocean. And it would be the beginning of time. All time. Here. On Earth. The newly created earth made from islands and ocean. And it would be the end of timeless space - where would Uncle go?
I keep thinking... "In the Beginning"
Riddle me this - if there's a father and an uncle time, is there a mother time? And WHO are they the father/uncle of?

Father Time's generally paired off with Mother Earth, IIRC.

I don't know about that... Earth is usually paired with Sky, not Time. (for example, Gaea and Uranus)

I think you are thinking Mother Nature, but that was in the Smurfs :P

Knowing Uncle Time, the riddle is probably something like 'Pull my finger'.

But that ends with air. Only in the case of really, really wet farts do you find an ocean.

Or Cronus and Rhea? ;)

Well, I was thinking they were the father/uncle of the years that are born and then age... but again, who would be the mother?
Also - do you think that's the riddle? but it's supposed to be the riddle of timeless space, not the riddle of uncle time.

I do believe Dr. Viennason said at one point that "Timeless Space" was a misnomer, but was as good a definition as they were able to come across, quite near the beginning of OU I.
That said, I think that if anything, Uncle Time's Riddle would be something along the lines of "How do you get out of here?", which isn't so much a riddle as it is a direct question.

The area outside the auras is timeless. They don't age when they're frozen out there. While in the time bubbles, time progresses.
