Favorite Pet is a Fish
I died and came back to life. My blood is not easily able to go through my body. My favorite pet is a fish. Who am I?
A shark. Sharks experience tonic immobility, also known as apparent death, where they appear to have died. Blood does not easily flow through their bodies, forcing sharks to swim continuously to circulate their blood. Lastly, sharks have pet fish called Remora (sometimes called suckerfish). They feed on parasites on the sharks and leftovers, and they use the shark as transport and protection.
A big thanks to Saravana for answering this.
Dead and Bound
Dead and bound,
what once was free.
What made no sound,
Now sings with glee.
What is it?
Any wooden, stringed instrument (guitar, violin, cello, ukulele, etc)
I Prevent Escape
I prevent escape or intrusion,
Yet I also preserve and protect,
Thieves use me to get money,
From me they can often collect.
I’m the practice of a sport, but not on the lawn,
Your friends may get upset when I’m sat upon.
What am I?
Fence. Fences keep ne’er-do-wells out and protect people inside. A fence is a person who buys stolen goods to later resell them for a profit. Those who fence practice the sport of fencing. En garde! And people don’t like it when you sit on the fence in a heated debate. (Believe me, I speak from experience)
I Am a Protector
I am a protector.
I sit on a bridge.
One person can see right through me.
Others wonder what I hide.
What am I?
Sunglasses
Nearly A Victory, Quickly I Pass
Nearly a victory,
Quickly I pass,
A request of the chair,
I’m silver, not brass.
What am I?
Second. Second place is next to winning. Seconds, the measure of time, pass quickly. Seconding a motion is requested by the chair of the body in Parliament. And the second place finisher in many sporting events such as the Olympics is awarded the silver medal.
And as for why the unit of time is called a second, it goes back to the days of Ptolemy. A second of time is the second small part, or pars minuta secunda, of an hour. (Thanks to Tim J for researching it).
In Oven But Not Baked
What must be in the oven yet can not be baked?
Grows in the heat yet shuns the light of day?
What sinks in water but rises with air?
Looks like sand, but is fine as hair?
Yeast.
