a ruler

you got it, cloud wins

(takes a bow)

well, I was going to say that before, but you said it doesn't come in different sizes. I've got a 12 inch ruler and a 6 inch ruler, as well as a yardstick.

That was my thought, but the only one size threw me. I happen to have a ruler 6" long x 1/2" wide, a ruler 12" long x 1 1/2" wide and an 18" long x 1 1/2" wide. I also have metric ones. Just me bitching - carry on.

sorry i was looking right at the ruler on my desk, which is a standard ruler (12")

Here is a hint - It is a ruler.

okay, I have one: animal.

This means anything from the animal kingdom.

does it walk on four legs?

no

#2 - is it a carnivore?

no.

Clue: It is not AN animal; it is a thing which comes from the animal kingdom.

Waitaminute, I call bullshit on one of Rexmons' answers--rulers are rigid! What good is a ruler that bends?

clobble, a thin metal ruler bends....even a wooden one bends slightly.....or else we wouldn;t be a ble to make the boi yoi yoi yoing sound you can make by holding a third of it down on the edge of a table and 'diving boarding' the other end.

#2! is it brown and sticky? this is really #3, but .....hey

I call bullshit on the *same size* thingie, but they are flexible. I have a flexible one...its fun :)
