Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

I’m the flower that breaks from the bud where it hides;
I’m the county of comics where Opus resides;
The taxonomy that ordered thinking divides;
I’m Ulysses lead Leo, and Molly besides.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Brian. See comments for answer.

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

I’m an old Chinese dynasty, skilled with the ship;
I’m a thorny-tailed fish with large fins on my hip;
I’m a powdered fruit drink that the astronauts sip;
And the part of a blade that extends through the grip.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

I’m a speck in the sky when the daytime is through;
In a restaurant’s rank, or a movie’s review;
A celebrity famous, like Jones from The View;
Or perform as the lead in a theatre debut.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

I’m removing a slice; or to lower a price;
An incision precise; or an editor’s splice;
Make a speech more concise; if a trim would look nice;
To shift half the deck twice; or the fate of blind mice.

Who am I?
