What has a tongue, but never talks. A heel, but never walks.
I believe, I think, I'm pretty sure the answer to that is a shoe.
And finally, my own riddle. Well, poem really, but it'll be amusing to see who can decipher it.
"Dagger frost and flaming chill,
Freezing burn and ever still,
Endless time and endless quest,
Endless run toward the chest,
Endless riches and lives are promised,
Eternal strives and rise of fists,
Crusades partaked and battles won,
For a treasure that is long gone,
Before the story the quest was told,
For a chalice, a grail of old,
Now all stories, the curtain is lift,
Now the truth, from Him a gift,
Christ's drink from here was drought,
We know this cup has long been sought,
After all this, humanity has mended,
For all the wars have long since ended."
Not too sure about this one but it sounds like the holy grail.
"Round I am, yet flat as a board, omen to the Wolfen lord."
This one sounds something like a shield.
"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."
Kind of thinking air but that doesn't sound right to me.

Right, Right, Wrong, Wrong.
It's a shoe, and the poem's about the Holy Grail, but the other two you guessed at are wrong.

ok i have some!
When I'm used, I'm useless, once offered, soon rejected. In desperation oft expressed, the intended not protected. What am I?
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?
Part carbon, part water, I am poison to the fishes. Many have falsely claimed my name, for I am the pause that refreshes. What am I?
My host thinks I'm an irritation, a bother, a pain. But he can't evict me, so here I will remain. Then one day I'm taken and ranked among my peers. Can you guess just what I am? Then you might call me dear.
have fun!

Ooh ooh, I wanna try one...lets see...
Heres the rough draft of my idea, see if ya'll can get it (first riddle attempt, be gentle)
put my barrel in your mouth,
pull the trigger,
see the flash,
and feel yourself calmly die.
what am I
cheers.

Stephen: Stephen is my name. I'm the most wanted man on my island, except I'm not on my island, of course. More's the pity.
Hamish: "Your island"? You mean Ireland?
Stephen: Yeah. It's mine.
Hamish: You're a madman.
Stephen: I've come to the right place then! |

My Grandfather used to tell me that one years ago. He used to use it as a metaphor for people in general - they may portray a cold, hard exterior to the outside world, but once you get underneath that and really get inside them, they often hold a beautiful soul. It's because of the delicate nature of their soul that they hide it away, feeling a sort of resentment for it as they often can't express themselves truly. A 'Catch 22' if you will.
*ahem* Anyway - Murder. Death. Kill. Let's frag, baby!

I may as well give it a go. Try this one:
What isn't right about this following paragraph?
This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

Well the grammar is not correct in all places, there is no set subject, save the paragraph itself. one sentence ends in a question mark but is a statement.
is that what you are going for?
