I sit in a corner and travel around the world. What am I?
A stamp.
This is nearly a duplicate of Lives in the Corner .
I am a wonderful help to women,
The hope of something to come.
I harm no citizen except my slayer.
Rooted I stand on a high bed. I am shaggy below.
Sometimes the beautiful peasant’s daughter, an eager-armed,
Proud woman grabs my body,
Rushes my red skin, holds me hard,
Claims my head. The curly-haired
Woman who catches me fast will feel
Our meeting. Her eye will be wet.
What am I?
An onion. Onions help add flavor to meals, they make the person who cuts them cry and they grow hair downtown.

I can be long or short. I can be grown or bought. I can be painted or left bare. My tip can be round or square. What am I?
Fingernails.

Twice four and twenty blackbirds sitting in the rain.
I shot and killed a quarter of them. How many do remain?
After shooting a quarter of the birds, the rest would fly off, so the remaining birds, brutally shot by you, would be:
(2 × (4 + 20)) / 4 = 12

These series follow a pattern.

This series does not follow the pattern
18 79 45
What is the pattern?
The numbers must be in ascending order. This can be a fun one to have people work out in person, as they test out three-number series and you can tell them whether or not they satisfy the pattern.
