Two Backbones
I have two backbones and thousands of ribs and I stretch across the land. What am I?
Train tracks.
I Drift Forever With The Current
I drift forever with the current
down these long canals they’ve made
Tame, yet wild, I run elusive
Multitasking to your aid.
Before I came, the world was darker
Colder, sometimes, rougher, true
But though I might make living easy,
I’m good at killing people too.
Electricity (or lightning).
Wait 27 Days Or See It Every Day?
You could wait 27 days or you could see it everyday. What is it?
The moon. Even though the true moon cycle is about 29.5 days, it takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. Thus you can see the full moon every 27 days or you can moon yourself every day in the mirror. Not that you’d want to. Does anyone moon themselves? Can’t say as I’ve ever had the “pleasure”.
Cut One Off And I Become Stronger
I have three letters. Cut one off and I become stronger. Cut two off and I become ten. What am I?
A fox. Removing the f leaves ox, a strong animal. Cutting off the fo leaves X, the roman numeral for 10.
A Leathery Snake
A leathery snake,
With a stinging bite,
I’ll stay coiled up,
Unless I must fight.
A whip.
Today Before Yesterday
I am a rare case where today comes before yesterday. What am I?
A dictionary
Four Against the Masses
We are four against the masses. We are trying to find the one who is the whole package. We sigh, we laugh, we frown while we hope that the next one will be the one. Who are we?
Four orphaned siblings. It seems like there may be a better answer than this. If you have one, please add a comment.
Different Sizes, Colors and Shapes
What comes in different sizes, colors and shapes but creates a larger whole?
A jigsaw puzzle piece.
