Here is a link to the last thread if you haven't seen them: www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=006911&p
Here is the new material to boggle your minds:

1) I reside in containers and cans,
You can see and feel me,
But I do not affect the capacity of the can in any way.
I am weightless, colorless, and odorless.

What am I?

-----Nothing.

2) I am the center of gravity,
hold a capital situation in Vienna,
and as I am foremost in every victory,
am allowed by all to be invaluable.
Though I am invisible,
I am clearly seen in the midst of a river.
I could name three who are in love with me
and have three associates in vice.
It is vain that you seek me for
I have long been in heaven yet even now lie
embalmed in the grave.

What am I?

3) I start with "e"
and end with "e"
but contain only one letter.

What am I?

-----Envelope.

4) I can bring a smile to your face,
a tear to your eye,
or even a thought to your mind;
but I can't be seen

What am I?

5) I can be found where anything cannot; dead men
eat me all the time. but if a living man eats me,
he'll die.

What am I?

----Nothing again.

6) If life gets tough, what do you have that you
can always count on?

-----Death.

7) Lives in winter, dies in summer, grows with
its root upwards.

What is it?

8) What asks no questions but requires a lot of answers?

9) How is a deck of cards like a wolf?

10) I can be cool, but I can't be cold,
I can be sorry, but I can't be guilty,
I can be spooked, but I can't be scared,
I can be sweet, but I can't be friendly,
I can be flammable, but I can't burn.

What am I?

----double letters. (ex. oo)

As usual I will give people a chance to answer before posting any answers, so get these minds working.
