If you don't get this one right, you may be undereducated.

MAN!! Baby, man, old man + walking stick!! IT'S FROM OEDIPUS!!! Well, not actually from the play Oedipus, because the event took place before Oedipus became King of Thebes and all the plagueyness happened, because it was his defeat of the sphinx asking that riddle that made him become King of Thebes, which should've happened anyway, because he was technically the son of the king and the queen of Thebes, only none of them knew it because they sent Oedipus away to be left on hillside, known as exposure, to die, as Laius, Oedipus' father and King of Thebes, was told that he would be killed by his son and he would then marry his mother. It all came true, and then Jocasta, Oedipus' mother and wife (ewwww...), killed herself, and Oedipus stabbed his eyes out with her dress pins, which would've been about 18 inches long, cos that's how long they were in Ancient Greece, but by that time they'd already had four children - Polynices, Eteocles, Antigone and Ismene, which was gross.
Sorry about that, I did Classics last year and the year before, and we studied the plays of Oedipus and Antigone, so I could go on about them for a very long time. But yes, the answer is man.

I thought it was a good play, just depressing, creepy, and annoying to have to actually study it. I much prefer acting them out or reading through them than studying them, especially Shakespeare.
New riddle!:
Scientists have proven that cats have more hair on one side then their other side. Some people believe that this is because when cats lay on their side they need insulation from the cold on the floor or ground. Which side of a cat has more hair?
