    That would be correct

    And that would be meat

    There is a submarine that will only operate if there are exactly twenty passengers on the ship. If the first nineteen seats were taken by average sized men and the last seat was taken by a fat, overweight lady, how come the submarine sank?

    No, submarines are supposed to sink.

    And you forgot your riddle

    I am the beginning of eternity and the end of time and space. I am the beginning of every end and the end of every place...What am I?

    You are "e"

    Something that is lighter than a feather, but cannot be held by any man for more than a few minutes.

    that's simple, it's life: everyone starts when you're a baby you crawl with 2 legs and 2 arms, adult you walk on 2 legs, an old man walks with 2 legs with cane

    That one had already been solved and you are meant to leave anouther riddle to replace it but thanks for bringing this back.

    For some I go fast
    for others I'm slow.
    To most people, I'm an obsession
    relying on me is a well practiced lesson.

    What am I?

    Time

    Here's an easy one:

    A group of white horses stand on a hill.
    They stomp and they chomp and then they stand still.

    What am I talking about?

    I believe this is from The Hobbit and you are talking about Teeth. (=

    Okay, here's a crazy one for you:

    The tree screams at me through glittering eyes,
    and I bow my head, for the sun will not rise.
    A circle lies beneath my feet,
    and I stab myself with a knife so bleak.
    Who am I?

    The word has 7 letters, preceded by God, greater than God, more evil than the devil, if you eat it, you will die, the poor have it, and the rich need it. We bet there's nothing you do to figure this brain teaser out.

    its kinda obvius ^__^

    the answer to the riddle is "nothing."
    Nothing is greater than God.
    Nothing is more evil than the Devil.
    The poor have nothing.
    The rich need nothing.
    And if you eat nothing, you'll die.

    okay heres mine
    if a plant is growing over a lake
    and each day it duplicates its size,
    and it takes 30 days for it to cover the ENTIRE lake,
    than in how many days was it over half of the lake??

    29 days, if each day it doubles in size then the day before last it will cover half the lake.


    A cloud was my mother, the wind is my father, my son is the cool stream, and my daughter is the fruit of the land. A rainbow is my bed, the earth my final resting place, and I'm the torment of man. What am I?

    Little Nany Etticoat,
    In a white petticoat,
    And a red nose,
    The longer she stands,
    the shorter she grows.

    I looked it up but don't understand the official answer. Must be a bit of mythology that I don't know. The answer that I know you aren't looking for is cannons. They were originally made by modifying church bells.



    A man without eyes saw plumbs on a tree.
    He did not take plums and he did not leave plumbs.
    How can this be?

    Note: When answering please explain both halves. A lot of time I get people only answering the first line.
