Riddles 46 July 5, 2007 by admin Waterless Sea Large as a mountain, small as a pea, Endlessly swimming in a waterless sea. Asteroids! Welcome The Day! I welcome the day with a show of light, I steathily came here in the night. I bathe the earthy stuff at dawn, But by the noon, alas! I’m gone. What am I? The morning dew! White House? If there is a Yellow house on Bluebird Lane, a Green house on Orange Street, a Pink house on Kitten Road, a Black house on Hhitehorse Pike and a Purple house on Firebird hill, where’s the White house?

Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning.Why did the man not die? Please note that he did not add the poison. Also, nothing was added to punch after he left.

Which candle burns longer a blue candle or a green candle? Neither candle burns longer. All candles, when burning, become shorter. Right Two Times! What is broken but right two times a day?

My fourth is in power, plunged through a shield. My fifth is in honour, and also in vows My last will put an end to it all.What am I? A weapon! Not Bent Around My first is not bent around. My second means “lift her up” or “cut her to the ground.”What am I? A straight razor. Pit of His Stomach I saw a creature: his stomach stuck out behind him, enormously swollen. A stalwart servant waited upon him. What filled up his stomach had travelled from far, and flew through his eye. He does not always die in giving life to others, but new strength revives in the pit of his stomach; he breathes again.What is he? Bellows. Rules All With no wings, I fly. With no eyes, I see. With no arms, I climb. More frightening than any beast, stronger than any foe. I am cunning, ruthless, and tall; in the end, I rule all.What am I? The imagination. Given One What is it that given one, you’ll have either two or none? A choice. City in Twilight Half-way up the hill, I see thee at last. Lying beneath me with thy sounds and sights – A city in the twilight, dim and vast, With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights. The past. Teapot Shot! Blend a teapot shot so the pearlies won’t rot! Toothpaste! Destructive and Healing As destructive as life, As healing as death; An institutioner of strife, Just as prone to bless. It is all that is good, Yet with an evil trend; As it was the beginning of things, It can also be the end. It is fire! Smashed To It! What measures out time, Until in time All is smashed to it? Sand. Not A Door When is a door not a door? When it is ajar.
