Lighter Than a Feather
I’m lighter than a feather but even the world’s strongest man can’t hold me for more than a few minutes. What am I?
Breath. Air is light, but even Stig Severinsen, the world record holder can only hold his breath for 22 minutes. The world’s strongest man can’t beat that, but you can have the pleasure of telling him to his face.
Pronounced Right or Wrong
What word when pronounced wrong is right but when pronounced right is wrong?
The answer is the word “wrong”. When it’s pronounced “wrong” (rhyming with song) that’s the correct pronunciation. However, if you were to pronounce the word as “right” (rhyming with night) that would be an incorrect pronunciation and be wrong.
The Dead Bring Forth the Living
I saw the dead bring forth the living. I saw the living bring forth the dead. Who or what did I see?
A funeral. Someone’s death caused the living to come to the funeral, and during the funeral the living carry the casket of the deceased.
A Blood Red Shroud
The thunder comes before the lightning,
And the lightning comes before the cloud,
The rain dries all the land it touches,
Wrapping the earth in a blood red shroud.
What am I?
A volcano.
I Never Return
What are these three related items? When I am placed somewhere I will never stand up. Whatever you give me I will eat. When I go I never return.
A stove, fire, smoke.
Essentially a duplicate of A Group of Three but I’m keeping it here to avoid broken links.
If You Lose Me
If you lose me, others around you may lose me too. What am I?
Your temper.
