Wow. I wasn't sure about the "one leg but no foot" bit. Anyway, this one should be easy:
What breaks when you say it?

They both always lie.
When the first one said one of them always tells the truth, that was a lie. When the other one said that one of them always lies, that was a lie too because they both always lie.
So the first one lied and the second one lied. When you asked them the question, they both lied again.
To point the direction the other one would point, they would have to point toward the safe path. They would have to lie about what the other person would already be lying about. And since the second person would lie and say the spike pit was the safe path, the first person has to say that the safe path is the spike path.
And the second person follows the same logic.
So yeh. They both always lie. That is my answer. [sub]Not that I have a riddle ready in case I'm right, rather than just waffling stupidly. =P[/sub]

Sorry, I fail at asking riddles. Someone else can get a free go to ask one without having to answer one.
A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?
Yep you got it right and here is the reason behind it.
He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.

I made this one up myself:
The selfless man gives me willingly. The violent man takes me by force. I am split into two on the battlefield, and there my numbers change every day. What am I?

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?
Sweet. Lets see...
2 fathers and 2 sons go fishing. They each catch a fish, and at the end of the day they have 3 fish. How is that possible?
