emmy Posted November 28, 2002 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2002 I am an animal, long and thin, I am not a fish because I don't have fins. My name puts me near the top, of the deadliest ones on Earth. My back is a card and you should beware of me, because you never know what I'll do when you're hurting me. What am I? I occur twice in January, once each in February, March, April and May. But when you get into June, I just fade away. It isn't until August, that I reappear, And that's the very last time that I occur all year. What am I? Three men walk into a bar, and the fourth one ducks. What does it mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceyKC Posted November 28, 2002 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2002 okay, I'll give it a try: 1) King Cobra 2) the letter 'a' 3) the 4th guy ducked because he didn't want to get hit by the bar like the other 3. 10 points for trying right? :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmy Posted November 28, 2002 Author #6 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Here are some more riddles. My first is one hundred My second is a sign of the zodiac My third is a hiberian My fourth is the god of the sun Julius Ceasar loves my whole Who am I? Three eyes have I, all in a row; when the red one opens, all freeze. What am I? I am a promise on the night wind, and a warning under red skies You can make me with electrodes, but my nature is wild. And yet -- I am your shield against the sun What am I? What regularly changes shape, yet remains a sphere, is always there, but often not seen? What am I? Dead on the field lie ten soldiers in white, felled by three eyes, black as night. What am I? What you cannot hold for five minutes even though it is lighter than a feather?

Saru Posted November 29, 2002 #8 Share Posted November 29, 2002 A quick guess at a couple of them: What regularly changes shape, yet remains a sphere, is always there, but often not seen? The Sun ? What you cannot hold for five minutes even though it is lighter than a feather? Your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonboy Posted November 29, 2002 #9 Share Posted November 29, 2002 I think I know some of them: What regularly changes shape, yet remains a sphere, is always there, but often not seen? The MOON Three eyes have I, all in a row; when the red one opens, all freeze. Traffic Lights I am a promise on the night wind, and a warning under red skies You can make me with electrodes, but my nature is wild. And yet -- I am your shield against the sun OZONE? Is part of the answer to the other one, CENTAUR....? :?: :?: :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo_Jones Posted November 29, 2002 #10 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Is the first one CLeoPatRa? My first is one hundred = C (Roman numeral for 100) My second is a sign of the zodiac = Leo My third is a hiberian = Pat? My fourth is the god of the sun = Ra Julius Ceasar loves my whole = Cleopatra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmy Posted November 29, 2002 Author #13 Share Posted November 29, 2002 What force and strength cannot get through, I with a gentle touch can do. And many in the street would stand, were I not a friend at hand. What am I? You can find us in darkness but never in light. We are present in daytime but absent at night. In the deepest of shadows, We hide in plain sight. What am I? They call me a man, but I'll never have a wife. I was given a body, but not given life. They made me a mouth, but didn't give me breath. Water gives me life and sun brings me death. What am I? Forward and forward I go, never looking back. My limit no one knows, more of me do they lack. Like a river I do flow, and an eagle I fly. Now can you guess, what am I? If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now? Only one color, but not one size, Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies. Present in sun, but not in rain, Doing no harm, and feeling no pain. What is it? Alive without breath As cold as death Never thirsty Ever drinking All in mail Never clinking What am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
