Nur, you got it, it's a dream. Well done, ask away.

Susan, is the answer to yours a match?

Here's one too, but it won't fool many of you:

The already-guessed riddle explained:

Time in a bottle, =an hourglass
the home of a king. =a sand castle
Sleep aide, =the sandman favorite
fun in a box. =sandbox

What am I?

Belegfanaion, is yours a book?

Thanks, Maril! I really need to think up a riddle of my own instead of guessing everyone elses...

Well, I came across this when I was reading tonight. This is NOT mine, and strictly speaking it's not a riddle, but some of you might be able to guess what the answer is...

"They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but they cannot see;
they have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but they cannot smell;
they have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but they cannot walk;
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them."

I will post the answer soon if no one guesses it, because it's really not mine and may be considered a trick because some of you might think it's similar to my "Shoes" riddle earlier...

That's right, Maril, a match [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nuranar

Is your's a Teddy bear?

Is it a dictionary?

A xx [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

This is probably way off but Nuranar is yours a statue? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

No, it's not a teddy bear. In a manner of speaking it IS a statue; but in context...This really wasn't a fair riddle; I'll post the answer this evening (EST). Y'all are such good sports! My hat is off to you! *bows*

Nuranar, is yours a shadow?

Nuranar, is it a religious idol?

Here's another that I wrote

I have two parts, a body and a hat,
Right now there is a third part, imagine that
I sit on fire hissing like a cat,
The third bubbles, the fire dies,
The hissing stops, and I am satisfied.

wow, thats a hard one Susan. the only thing i can think of is a fire extinguisher, but that doesnt even sound right.. ill have to keep thinking about that.

No, that's not it, but good guess [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Susan, is it a tea kettle?

Another simple one from Samwise:

I have a head, but no brain
generally, I have a smile on my face, but it dosen't necesarily mean that I'm happy.
I can have arms, but they are useless
With the rising of the sun, my life can end.

Nuranar, I was going to guess an idol but Susan beat me to it. How about a mummy?

Samwise, is yours a snowman?

How about this one? It's pretty basic.

Too much of me will kill
As will too little of me
In summer I am prayed for
But cursed if too oft I come.
What am I?

Yes, Kalimac, it is. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Susan and Kalimac, you are both correct: It is an idol. Here is the quote in its entirety:

I'm so glad for the responses I got! I was afraid it was kind of a weird thing to post.

Kalimac, is yours rain?

You got it, Nuranar [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Yours was really good [Kalimac smacks self on head] should have recognized that from the Psalms, eh? Actually the only Biblical phrase that came to mind on reading that was "Why do the Heathen rage?" but it was close enough, I guess. Susan, you're up for a riddle [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

I believe that Kalimaks is is Rain or Water, Sarah's last one is a teakettle, and Nurambar is correct on mine, it's a book. (EZ One, eh?)

You got it, Nuranar [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Yours was really good [Kalimac smacks self on head] should have recognized that from the Psalms, eh? Actually the only Biblical phrase that came to mind on reading that was "Why do the Heathen rage?" but it was close enough, I guess. Susan, you're up for a riddle [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

Sam and Beleg, you're half right. What is the teakettle doing? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ok, here's one

What is dressed when night falls and undressed when day breaks?

Susan

Is you last one a bed?

A xx [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nope, that's not it.

Looking back over the list, I noticed two that were never answered (unless I just missed them [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]) I looked back through the thread, but couldn't find them to see if I had, in fact, missed the answers (I remember Stephanos and Samwise being the posters, respectively, but I could be wrong) Anyhoo, here they are. If they were answered, let me know, and if not, we have two more to guess (again) at if the posters are still watching this thread.

susan, i dont know about the second one but the answer to the first one was the sun.

Susan, I don't remember the first one, but the answer to the second is a goldfish.

Bragolandune, I think our memories compliment each other rather well!

Thank you both very much [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Boiling over?

Exactly [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
One of my favorite quotes from The Hobbit

Yay! LOL!!

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
(BTW, Sam, was the second riddle I asked about up there yours? the one where the answer is "a fish"? I'm just trying to confirm my memory)

I was going to post another, but then I looked in my book and realised I still have one out there...

The "Goldfish" one? No, that's Mr. Greenbow's.

What is dressed night falls and undressed when day breaks?
---------------------------------------------
Mm...the sky?

Yet another from Samwise:
---------------------------------------------
I can be hot, or I can be cold
I can be held in the hand either way.
Sometimes liquid stays in me, sometimes it comes out.
What am I?

Oh. Well, I never said my memory is perfect. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The answer to mine is not the sky.

Is it a coffee mug?

LOL, Susan! Exactly! (Maybe you were thinking along the same lines I was last night....)
Not the sky, hm? Oy...it's too early in the morning to think.... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

could some on eexplain the fish riddle for me? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Susan is yours the sun or moon?
