I'm just the distraction!
Alright, Just-the-Distraction, solve these.
1]
Voiceless it cries, wingless flutters,
Toothless bites, mouthless mutters.
--------------------------------------------------------
2]
What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, and never in a thousand years?
--------------------------------------------------------
3]
What is always coming, but never arrives?
--------------------------------------------------------
4]
Who makes it has no need of it,
Who buys it has no use for it,
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.
What is it?
--------------------------------------------------------
5]
The beginning of eternity,
the end of time and space.
The beginning of every end
and the end of every place.
--------------------------------------------------------
6]
What is made up of four letters, yet is also made up of three?
Sometimes is written with nine letters, then with four?
Rarely is written with six, and never with five?
--------------------------------------------------------
7]
What has roots nobody sees,
is taller than trees,
up, up it goes,
and yet never grows?
--------------------------------------------------------
8]
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.
--------------------------------------------------------
9]
Alive without breath,
as cold as death;
never thirsty, ever drinking,
all in mail never clinking.
Someone answered "One of those knight in shining armor things you see in castles?" to that one once. :lol:
--------------------------------------------------------
10]
This thing all things devours:
birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
gnaws iron, bites steel;
grinds hard stones to meal;
slays king, ruins town,
and beats high mountain down.
--------------------------------------------------------
Anyone can answer except me and Bun, because he knew the answers a long time ago, and I just put them here. Please put the number of the riddle you are guessing at beside your guess so I'll know which one you are answering and I can tell if you got it right.
Ready.... set.... GO!
