Seen in the Water
I am seen in the water
If seen in the sky,
I am in the rainbow,
A jay’s feather,
And lapis lazuli.
Blue.
Full of Holes Yet Full of Water
I’m full of holes, yet I’m full of water. What am I?
A sponge.
I Move Quickly
Physicists have built devices to make me move quickly. My last eight letters can be commonly found in newspapers, magazines, and journals.
What am I?
Particles. Physicists use particle accelerators and newspapers, magazines and journals have articles.
Bed, Evil, Identical
What word can be added before or after these words to make a new word or phrase?
Bed, Evil, Identical
Twin. Twin bed, Evil twin, Identical twin.
Life Measured in Hours
My life can be measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.
A candle.
I Can Kill People
I can kill people, or cause great pain.
You eat me.
I can mean you’re crazy.
I hold things together.
I help climbers stay safe.
I can replace a swear.
And I’m on a violin.
What am I?
Nuts.
People with nut allergies can die from eating nuts. Being hit in the nuts hurts (I speak from experience. Painful, painful experience). You eat nuts (unless you’re allergic, in which case you should run away). If someone says you’re nuts, it doesn’t mean you’re a peanut or an almond. Nuts and bolts hold things together. A climber’s nut or chock wedges into a rock. Instead of swearing, you can say, “Aww nuts!”. And finally, the nut on a violin is a small piece of hard material that supports the strings.
