Riddle of the Day

[Mathster]

now, if we complain about it being too easy, gizmo comes up with something that doesn't have an answer.

[Gizmokid2005]

I am the center of gravity, hold a capital situation in Vienna, and as I am foremost in every victory, am allowed by all to be invaluable. Though I am invisible, I am clearly seen in the midst of a river. I could name three who are in love with me and have three associates in vice. It is vain that you seek me for I have long been in heaven yet even now lie embalmed in the grave. What am I?

ANSWER (Congrats themediaman): The Letter V.

I won't give you credit for this, some of our...*coughothermemberscough* might not know what you are talking about

OK, I've learned my lesson!

Good. Let's keep it that way

Well, I don't want to give it away so quickly. I'll chime in later if people are still stumped.

Sounds good to me. Just an FYI (and this can go for everybody):

I will post a new Riddle every M-F in the mornings (no particular time) and sometimes on the weekends if I'm home. Usually the riddle will stay for the weekend. So if you know the answer, post it in the evening before you go to bed if you want to keep it a secret (sshhhh ).

[acoustikarl]

Ok, it looks like everyone is being oddly silent on this one.
So the answer is ....






One is stepping up the stairs and the other is staring up the steps.

NEXT RIDDLE:

"Two grandmothers, with their two granddaughters;
Two husbands, with their two wives;
Two fathers, with their two daughters;
Two mothers, with their two sons;
Two maidens, with their two mothers;
Two sisters, with their two brothers;
Yet only six in all lie buried here;
All born legitimate, from incest clear."

Explain how everyone is related.
