A Voice With No Mouth
I am a voice without a mouth, throat or lungs. I know no language but speak in all tongues. What am I?
An echo.
I Can Kill People
I can kill people, or cause great pain.
You eat me.
I can mean you’re crazy.
I hold things together.
I help climbers stay safe.
I can replace a swear.
And I’m on a violin.
What am I?
Nuts.
People with nut allergies can die from eating nuts. Being hit in the nuts hurts (I speak from experience. Painful, painful experience). You eat nuts (unless you’re allergic, in which case you should run away). If someone says you’re nuts, it doesn’t mean you’re a peanut or an almond. Nuts and bolts hold things together. A climber’s nut or chock wedges into a rock. Instead of swearing, you can say, “Aww nuts!”. And finally, the nut on a violin is a small piece of hard material that supports the strings.
Wholly Unreal
Something wholly unreal, yet seems real to I
Think my friend, tell me where does it lie?
In your mind.

Which is more probable?
1) Linda is a bank teller.
2) Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement.
1) Linda is a bank teller.
Most people guess number two, but the probability of two events occurring together is always less than or equal to the probability of either one occurring alone. This problem is known as the Conjunction Fallacy.
Stink When Alive
I stink when I’m alive, but I smell good when I’m dead. What am I?
A pig. Mmm, ham and bacon…
