The Same Upside Down
A word of five letters,
Upside down is the same,
A shark does this,
But it’s not to blame.
What is the word?
SWIMS.
If you turn the word upside down it’s the same word (the W and M flip to resemble themselves). A shark swims to attack, but it’s not bad. Sharks are just trying to eat. I’d still recommend you swim away if you see one swimming toward you.
After the Tenth One
After the tenth one it didn’t matter that he came from an ethnic minority. Who was it?
Moses from the Bible. The Pharaoh wouldn’t release the ill-treated Israelites (an ethnic minority) from slavery until being visited by ten plagues.
Head, Tail, Brown and No Legs
What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs?
A penny.
I’m A Sifter
I’m a sifter of a memorable shape,
You can eat a variety of me, but I can be toxic,
I can cause severe pain if you’re not careful,
And the action I describe could hurt as well.
What am I?
A kidney.
Kidneys filter your blood and are shaped like kidney beans, which you can eat. Red kidney beans contains high amounts of phytohemagglutinin (quite the word, eh?) and can be toxic if not soaked and boiled. Kidney stones can be extremely painful and if a kid knees you in the stones, that would also be unpleasant.
Wake Up With No Electricity
I can wake you in the morning but I require no electricity or winding.
I can also provide you with a meal, but only once.
What am I?
A rooster. If you did use electricity on your rooster, you would no longer be woken up, but it could provide a finger lickin’ last meal.
Wholly Unreal
Something wholly unreal, yet seems real to I
Think my friend, tell me where does it lie?
In your mind.
