Three more riddles before I take my leave.

1) When the day after tomorrow is yesterday, today will be as far from Wednesday as today was from Wednesday when the day before yesterday was tomorrow. What is the day after this day?

2) I have a hundred legs but cannot stand, a long neck but no head; I eat the maid's life. What am I?

3) This old one runs forever, but never moves at all. He has not lungs nor throat, but still a mighty roaring call. What is it?

You are in a room with four passages. Next to you is a bomb about to go off. There's only enough time to pick one, and only one will lead you to safety.

Each doorway has a sign over it. In turn, they read:

T-11-E
Food
E=MC2
4-1-5-4

Which door leads to safety?

1.)In a mable hall as white as milk
Lined with skin as soft as silk
Within a fountain crystal clear
a golden globe doth appear
No doors are there to this stronghold
Yet theives break in to steal the gold
What am I?

2.)The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end.
And the end of every place.

Why do you say that?

It's the correct answer, by the way, but I need someone to say why. Of course, it would help if I wrote it right -- I got it mixed up with another riddle. The number part's supposed to be 9 (T-9-E).

Besides, the picking of the answer isn't the point of this one, it's why it's the right one.

1. 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

2. Tell me what a dozen rubber trees with thirty boughs on each might be?

3. As I went over London Bridge
I met my sister Jenny
I broke her neck and drank her blood
And left her standing empty.

4. It is said among my people that some things are improved by death.
Tell me, what stinks while living, but in death, smells good?

5. What goes through the door without pinching itself?
What sits on the stove without burning itself?
What sits on the table and is not ashamed?

6. What work is it that the faster you work,
the longer it is before you're done,
and the slower you work,
the sooner you're finished?

7. Whilst I was engaged in sitting
I spied the dead carrying the living

8. I know a word of letters three.
Add two, and fewer there will be

9. I give you a group of three.
One is sitting down, and will never get up.
The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry.
The third goes away and never returns.

10. Whoever makes it, tells it not.
Whoever takes it, knows it not.
And whoever knows it wants it not.

11. Two words, my answer is only two words.
To keep me, you must give me.

12. Sir, I bear a rhyme excelling
In mystic force and magic spelling
Celestial sprites elucidate
All my own striving can't relate

13. I am, in truth, a yellow fork
From tables in the sky
By inadvertent fingers dropped
The awful cutlery.
Of mansions never quite disclosed
And never quite concealed
The apparatus of the dark
To ignorance revealed.

14. Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king (this one is for you Bookwyrm hehe).

15. Ripped from my mother's womb,
Beaten and burned,
I become a blood-thirsty slayer
What am I?

16. I build up castles.
I tear down mountains.
I make some men blind,
I help others to see.
What am I?

17. As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, and I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, and I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.
What am I?

18. With thieves I consort,
With the vilest, in short,
I'm quite at ease in depravity;
Yet all divines use me,
And savants can't lose me,
For I am the center of gravity

19. When I am filled
I can point the way,
When I am empty
Nothing moves me,
I have two skins
One without and one within

20. Lovely and round,
I shine with pale light,
grown in the darkness,
A lady's delight.




( I thought I would post this one up to be flashy to the other person who posted a riddle like this one up)

What does man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?
(answer) Nothing.
(this one even I cant find the answer for)

I sought my first in starry skies
Where shines the April sun;
My second came before my eyes,
And warned me to be done.

'Tis very hard to lose one's sight;
I'm blind as bat or mole;
Once hills and fields were my delight,
Now I'm no more my whole.

( ???????)


In any case I shall post up the answers to the actual riddles that were asked (ie the ones with numbers). And if anyone can figure out what the answer to the riddle that I don't know is. Please do let me know. I find it, ..... hmm ... hurting my head we shall leave it at that heh, that I can't find an answer for it .
