What is the difference between a grandmother and a granary? What is the difference between a cat and a complex sentence?

Spoiler:

I just know the second one. One has it's claws at the end of it's paws, and the other has it's pause at the end of it's clause.

Very good! These riddles are based on phonetic coincidence. You should try answering the grandmother and granary one.

Maybe: She is a born kin, and it is a corn bin?

Spoiler:

I had to work it out by humming it.  The BGEGD gave it away, as all the notes are the same length in that section, so it's easily recognisable.

Okay, how about this riddle:

I climbed up a cherry tree, where I found cherries. I did not pick cherries, nor did I leave cherries in the tree. How is this possible??

Hint:

Spoiler:

Look carefully at the grammar

Okay... I have that same funny feeling of being ignored here as I do when I'm conducting for my band.... I wonder why....

Please, I'd like to see someone try to solve this one! If you can solve it, I will immediately go over to where you are right now and give you a real cookie... No, just kidding... but if you do solve it, you'd be the first person I've ever told this riddle to who did.... (did that make sense right there???)

Spoiler:

There are lots of ways... Someone else was already in the tree who brought the cherries with them. Or perhaps from the cherry tree you can reach a balcony where the cherries had been left. Or a maybe you are in a cherry tree that isn't growing cherries and are looking at one besides it that is growing cherries. Or maybe "cherries", whose name you must spell with a lower case c because you are e. e. cummings or someone like that, is the name of your cat who had climbed the tree.

Spoiler:

Maybe you did not pick the cherries but somehow destroyed them^^. Or maybe you only picked one cherry and there were two cherries in the trree

No-one's answered my [iurl=viewtopic.php?p=71723#p71723]palindrome question[/iurl] yet.  It's really not as hard as it looks.

[Callid]

I think I'll start with a simple code (remember, it's riddles AND codes^^):

What does the following phrase mean?

12 46 12" 18 / 44 / 2 18 35 / 27 20 18 !

While solving it without the 1. hint might be difficult, use 2. and 3. hint only if you're really desperate.

1. hint

Spoiler:

There are other languages than English, you know...

2. hint

Spoiler:

It's a phrase we all know very well...

3. hint

Spoiler:

Other languages may use other alphabets...
