A riddle I made.
 
One of my hobbies,beside programming computers and building coil guns is making riddles. Here is one of my favorite riddles; let's see how long it takes for anyone to guess it!

Cool my body is, hot my soul may be
and sacrifice myself so you may have sight.
Now I'm unneeded,but ready to strike like the undead!
Don't underestimate me for I am thousands of years old
look to the cookie to discover me,that is your hint.
Even with that I forgot to tell you wind is my dread.
So hath now guessed what I may be!

Also this is one of my more easy ones so...;)

x2495iiii 05-25-2011 08:57 PM

Kind of oddly worded.

I guess Chocolate.

moric15 05-25-2011 10:51 PM

the sun/moon

sfunk 05-25-2011 11:00 PM

a star I shall guess, since stars can be relatively cool compared to each other, and they give off light, so the sun would be my more direct answer, since that is what technically gives the Earth light, which dissappears at night(atleast for half of the globe), waiting to shine again

legolizard 05-26-2011 05:54 AM

The sun is [I]kind of[/I] close, but not really since in space there is no "wind", and a star does not instantly activate.:cool:Look at the line "look to the cookie..." that is a very big hint if you can figure out what the "cookie" is.:D:D:D

moric15 05-26-2011 09:33 AM

fire?:confused:

Well there is wind from gravitational pull, and stars do technically activate instantly because of the building of pressure of hydrogen (and other gasseuos materials and dust particles) which causes fusion to occur, but i'm guessing you were trying to avoid the technicalities of it XD

jediaction 05-26-2011 10:45 AM

Its Dough!

legolizard 05-26-2011 03:48 PM

[QUOTE=sfunk;36440]Well there is wind from gravitational pull, and stars do technically activate instantly because of the building of pressure of hydrogen (and other gasseuos materials and dust particles) which causes fusion to occur[/QUOTE]

Well by wind I meant the actual movement of cooler and warmer air molecules on the planet Earth, and stars I guess are instantly activated, but the are not instantly formed so...eh
[QUOTE]but i'm guessing you were trying to avoid the technicalities of it [/QUOTE]

Precisely.

Also Mr.X2495iiii you are right I did word it odlly, but [SIZE="7"]Why?[/SIZE]

You are getting closer moric15, but not quite:p

Finally,Jediaction, not it is not dough since I do not know what kind of dough you eat, but the general dough ,to me at least, does not give you sight.

jediaction 05-26-2011 04:12 PM

So it is dough?

DeathxKiller 05-26-2011 04:28 PM

it's water

legolizard 05-26-2011 04:46 PM

No it is [B]not[/B] dough Jediaction, and it is not water because it is [SIZE="7"]Always[/SIZE] needed, at least for life.:):)

DeathxKiller 05-26-2011 05:11 PM

glasses?

legolizard 05-26-2011 05:56 PM

Nope.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

x2495iiii 05-26-2011 05:59 PM

Light?

legolizard 05-26-2011 06:07 PM

Light is still [I]close[/I] but I don't see how lights only foe is wind. However you are getting closer:rolleyes:

DeathxKiller 05-26-2011 06:34 PM

my last guess is chocolate

legolizard 05-26-2011 06:38 PM

Alright
 
All right to figure out the riddle take the very [SIZE="7"]first[/SIZE] letter and then read down from there.:p:p

DeathxKiller 05-26-2011 06:41 PM

lol candles

legolizard 05-26-2011 06:44 PM

Finally,good job. Don't worry I have made a whole notebook full of riddles!:D:D:D

DeathxKiller 05-26-2011 06:46 PM

that was a good one. i should have seen it!:)

jediaction 05-26-2011 08:36 PM

WOW!! Your good...but the wording throws everyone off. Make another one but make the riddle more sense

x2495iiii 05-26-2011 11:04 PM

I actually meant you worded it oddly on two counts, the entire last line (you could've just said "So have you guessed what I am yet?" or something) and the look to the cookie to discover me part (still don't get that).

Oh well.

moric15 05-27-2011 07:53 AM

ah, very clever indeed;), im guessing the first cookies were made by putting dough under candles

sfunk 05-27-2011 09:14 AM

instead of saying cookie, it would probably been more appropiate to say look to the begining or something like that lol, since the first cookie was never really documented, so you wouldn't know if a candle was used to make it

moric15 05-27-2011 09:33 AM

lol thats why it's riddle

legolizard 05-27-2011 03:48 PM

The whole purpose of wording it oddly was to throw you off, and the cookie symbolized the riddle so instead you could say "look to the riddle.";)

Okay here is another although not as good as the first....


Shield and protect
Contain and collect
are the things I must do
and I like my job because I always have a friend.
Or maybe it is because I can bend?
Sometimes it can be annoying having to hear you coo-
Now that I'm thinking about it...
maybe I should take a vacation for a bit,
and make you go "Boo-Hoo!!!"
I mean really what have you done for me
that does not help yourself, you see!
Oh, you would be reduced to everything, but you will have nothing, like goo!
Always pushed around sometimes having to do the impossible.
Yet I still do my duty even if you have to hobble!
I guess I should stop now since I have many tasks that are due,
and if you have solved this riddle maybe you do care
so I will leave you to wonder and stare.

Hmm,

Scaaosnmaitogayias...Thats all the letters in a word...thats not it.

Its a rooster!

legolizard 05-27-2011 06:10 PM

No it is not a rooster, because a rooster does not protect you nor does it shield you, unless you are in a fight and decide to be mean and use a rooster as a meat-shield, but no I don't think so.:(

[QUOTE]Scaaosnmaitogayias...Thats all the letters in a word...thats not it.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, not all of my riddles are like the first one.;)

jediaction 05-27-2011 07:27 PM

Im thinking...

legolizard 05-27-2011 07:44 PM

Well let's see is it wind? I really don't know, I'm not religious.

jediaction 05-27-2011 09:28 PM

It has nothing to do with Religous, trust me

sfunk 05-27-2011 09:38 PM

"nothing"

Gravity
It shields us and protects us from space. contains and collects all the things on earth.gravity only helps us. we would most definatly go BOO-HOO if there were no gravity.

Clouds

sfunk 05-27-2011 10:34 PM

[QUOTE=moric15;36580]Clouds[/QUOTE]

Well I think he was looking for "nothing" look at the letters at the begining of each line

legolizard 05-28-2011 08:24 AM

Yeah sfunk you are right it is "nothing," but moric15 it is not gravity because gravity can hurt us by causing us to fall and break bones, and if it were to "take a vacation", yes we would go "Boo-Hoo" but we would not be like goo.

jediaction 05-28-2011 08:36 AM

[QUOTE=moric15;36580]Clouds[/QUOTE]

Very good guess, but yes Sfunk, it was nothing. Clouds is super close!

[QUOTE=legolizard;36583]Yeah sfunk you are right it is "nothing," but moric15 it is not gravity because gravity can hurt us by causing us to fall and break bones, and if it were to "take a vacation", yes we would go "Boo-Hoo" but we would not be like goo.[/QUOTE]

It's my riddle...so how would you know. Maybe its a coincidence that they are lettered that way..

legolizard 05-31-2011 06:57 AM

[QUOTE]It's my riddle...so how would you know. Maybe its a coincidence that they are lettered that way.[/QUOTE]

I used logical reasoning and mathematical probability.
