Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I’m a gathering useful for sewing a quilt;
I’m an insect with friends that a honeycomb built;
I appear on The Daily Show played to the hilt;
And a contest where spellers are spelling full tilt.

Who am I?

From Twelfth Night:

I have heard of some kind of men that put quarrels purposely on others, to taste their valour.

I’m a series of wins that’s uncommonly rare;
I’m a light-colored strand dyed in dark-colored hair;
I’m a line in the sky caused by lightning-bolt flare;
And to run out in public while totally bare.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

I’m a character known by a well-defined trait;
What you say that you watch when you’re watching your weight;
I’m an action-primed doll; how Olympians skate;
Or a shape that they trace, like the numeral eight.

Who am I?

I’m a magical feat caused by legerdemain;
I am dirty when found in a vicious campaign;
I’m the cards in a round that you try to obtain;
And the threat that some Halloween greetings contain.

Who am I?
