my cheating by google tells me you got the riddle wrong: it's supposed to be "What goes up a chimney down but will not go down a chimney up?"

Ah yes. True.

This is a semi-ancient riddle, doubtless English in origin (although I do not have a clue about that, only a sensibility).

Am I supposed to give you the answer HERE or should I let others continue to play with it? while I simply doctor it.

@Anon - you're welcome to guess here; I don't think you'll spoil it for anyone.
