[video] riddle, riddle on the wall

[The man is dressed in a classy suit with green highlights, using needlessly dramatic lighting as he starts to talk, very master of ceremony.]

ImPorts and Very ImPortants!

[He turns the camera around to show a wall that he has artfully decorated with a word cloud. Yes, he has put a lot of work in.]



Some of you might have enjoyed the riddle page of the Heropan Post before. I've been architect of it for a few months now. You're welcome!

Yet here I come to you with a riddle that I can't ever seem to quite figure out by myself.

[The camera is turned around again and he can be seen slowly drawing a heart in the air with two fingers as he talks.]

I'm worthless to one but priceless to two. What am I?

I am love.

Wait! That's not the riddle that leaves me puzzled. It goes deeper. One of the few questions where I'm not certain of the answer yet. Whenever I think I know, I get thrown for a loop.

So.

What is love?

Or, should I ask, what is it to you?

Sixteen, but I don't think that's as relevant as you think it is. [ They're not like Archie and Veronica, gawd! ]

[riddleman]

No, I suspect I'd not have thought it would be all that relevant when I was sixteen either.

But obviously anyone of any age might feel drawn to someone special.

[burger_king]

So you've never felt that way about another person?

[riddleman]

I have. Once.

Perhaps twice.

At least in the first case, some would argue I should have kept distance.
