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.

As thick as what it’s holding when it holds.

Mislabeled Boxes of Marbles

Three closed boxes have either white marbles, black marbles or both, and they are labeled white, black and both. However, you’re told that each of the labels are wrong. You may reach into one of the boxes and pull out only one marble. Which box should you remove a marble from to determine the contents of all three boxes?

The one labeled both. Since you know it’s labeled incorrectly, it must have all black marbles or all white marbles. After you determine what it contains, you can identify the other two boxes by the process of elimination.

Up and Down and Round About

I’m up and down and round about,
yet all the world can’t find me out.
Though thousands have employed their leisure,
they never yet could find my measure.
I’m found in almost every garden,
In a compass or a farden.
There’s neither chariot coach nor mill
may move one inch except I will.

What am I?

A circle.

Put it together and answer me this, which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?

3. er
