16. Of all your possessions I am hardest to guard,
If you have me you will want to share me, And if you share me you will no longer have me. What am I - A Secret 17. A plane crashes on a mountain side, and half of passengers die. The mountain is made out of solid stone with no soil, snow or dirt etc. So where do you bury the survivors. What idiot buries survivors???? 18. I have rivers without water, Forests without trees, Mountains without rocks Towns without houses. Map or Atlas 19. Two bodies have I, though both joined in one. The more still I stand, the quicker I run. 20. You get many of me, but never enough. After the last one, your life soon will snuff. You may have one of me but one day a year, When the last one is gone, your life disappears. Birthdays 21. I am the part of the bird that is not in the sky, Who can drown in the ocean and yet remain dry. A last vestige of man that refuses to die. In mourning I am tossed at your feet to lie; I begin my job early, devouring your ankles and thighs. I work my way up, eating your legs to your waist. And though around midday away I am chased, I return quickly, To savor the arm of my taste. As evening falls I enter your lungs, Spiraling down past your mouth and your tongue. I feast on your body, your soul, and your mind, but as darkness falls you shall find That away I will go, a relief for some; At least until tomorrow morning comes. Shadow 22. I weaken all men for hours each day. I show you strange visions while you are away. I take you by night, by day take you back, None suffer to have me, but do from my lack. Dreams 23. I make you weak at the worst of all times. I keep you safe, I keep you fine. I make your hands sweat, and your heart grow cold, I visit the weak, but seldom the bold. Fear 24. As light as a feather, but you can't hold it for ten minutes. A breath 25. Weight in my belly, Trees on my back, Nails in my ribs, Feet I do lack. I am thinking a tall ship - ballast, tall masts 26. Keys without locks Yet I unlock the soul. 27. A man rode to town on Friday. He stayed there all night, and came back on the same Friday. How can this be? A year to the day? 28. In marble halls as white as milk, Lined with a skin as soft as silk, Within a fountain crystal-clear, A golden apple doth appear. No doors there are to this stronghold, Yet thieves break in and steal the gold. It is eggses my precious, yes it issss 29. This creature, part man and part tree, hates the termite as much as the flea. His tracks do not match, and his limbs may detach, but he's not a strange creature to see. 30. 'Twas in heaven pronounced, and 'twas muttered in hell, An echo caught faintly the sound as it fell; On the confines of earth 'twas permitted to rest, And the depths of the ocean its presence confessed; 'Twill be found in the sphere when 'tis riven asunder, Be seen in the lightning and heard in the thunder. 'Twas allotted to man with his earliest breath, Attends him at birth, and awaits him in death, Presides o'er his happiness, honor, and health, Is the prop of his house, and the end of his wealth. In the heaps of the miser 'tis hoarded with care, But is sure to be lost on the prodigal heir. It begins every hope, every wish it must bound, With the husbandman toils, and with monarchs is crowned. Without it the soldier, the seaman may roam, But woe to the wretch who expels it from home! In the whispers of conscience its voice will be found, Nor e'en in the whirlwind of passion be drowned. 'Twill not soften the heart; but though deaf be the ear, It will make it acutely and instantly hear. Yet in shade let it rest, like a delicate flower, Ah... breathe on it softly, - it dies in an hour H OK, 3 to go - lets look at them a little closer

19. Two bodies have I,
though both joined in one. The more still I stand, the quicker I run. OK - Gabriel gave a good answer here - think Hourglass works, because it does slow the sand down if you shake it about - sigh - no credit here for Davros, I cheated 26. Keys without locks Yet I unlock the soul. Just this one to go - keys without locks - Turkeys, Monkeys, Florida Quays, Keystrokes..... nope. Unlocks the soul - love, hope..... soap on a rope - NOPE!!!! Whiskeys - now they can unlock the soul - a night of drinking and dancing - hey, music unlocks the soul - how about the keys on Beethoven's Piano - musical keys is ma answer

Actually I will give it you now. Its a killer It had me frustrated for weeks and in the end I had to get someone to give me the answer. So here it is
31. Think of words ending in 'gry'. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is. Anyone who has played PST and know the answer then please refrain from posting it, just yet. Give others who haven't heard it a chance to answer it. |

Actually, although it originally would've come from Africa, those words crepp into our dictionary, so as well as
hungry and angry, there is aggry- A type of bead found in Ghana also, there is an alt. of hungry, ahungry, which means the same. Don't know if that's the answer to the riddle, but call me pedantic [img]tongue.gif[/img]
