That was written by The Demaundes Joyous and refers to 'the Dew'.
Also, as you spelt Jeopardy wrong I can only assume that was copied and pasted from this website:
Ancient Riddlesand the next riddle you're going to ask is...
Once I was water, full of scaly fish;
But, by a new decision, Fate has changed
My nature: having suffered fiery pangs,
I now gleam white, like ashes or bright snow.

ok, no takers for my dog riddle. Try this:
A traveller starts a journey. For the first week he goes east. The second he goes in all directions. The third he flies up into the sky. In the fourth he comes back down. Who is the traveler?

You are indeed correct about the site barman and the answer to it is...(ok and I worked this out all on my own without looking at the answers and therefore it may be incorrect) -
salt? and if it needs to be more specific, sea salt.

A wizard left each of his three sons a gift before he died. The oldest received a mirror, through which he could see anyone in the world. The second, a horse which could ride to any place in the world in one day. The third, a magic apple which would never rot, and when eaten would cure any disease.
One day the brothers heard about a princess in a faraway land who was dying of an unknown disease. Rumour had it the king would let the man who saved his daughter marry her. The brothers sprung into action. The first looked in his mirror and saw the ill princess and the land she lived in. All three jumped on the second brother's horse, and they rode so fast they got to the princess' land the next morning. Then the third son took his apple to the princess, who ate it and recovered full health instantly.
The king was grateful, and indeed intended to let one of them marry the princess. But it had taken the cooperation of all three brothers to save her.
Which one did the king decide should marry his daughter and why?

The king decided that the youngest of the brothers was most worthy of marrying his daughter, because he made the greatest sacrifice in saving the princess: he had lost his magical gift, while the other two still had the mirror and the horse.

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking

~riddle 2~
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Does that mean there's ten feet extra chain than needed?
If that's the case I would say 20 - 10 = 10 feet between the buildings and take up my position firmly outside the box, quietly sucking on a sherbert lemon with my face looking like this

Who deals in secrets and tells nought but lies,
Next think of whats always the last thing to mend,

Welcome to the forum The Psychic's Child
That's from Harry Potter isnt it?
I think you missed out a couple of lines though...
First think of the person who lives in disguise,
who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies. = Spy
Next tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
the middle of the middle and end of the end? = d
Finally give me the sound often heard
during the search for a hard-to-find word. = er
Now string them together, and answer me this,
what creature would you be unwilling to kiss?
Answer = spider
I don't think it's rubbish I think it's great, and I certainly wont blame the book.
