I’m the words in your paper; a home-burned CD;
Understanding a message that’s sent by CB;
I am cat-like; I’m ape-like; the extra CV;
And I used to be carbon, but now just CC.

Who am I?

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

I’m a bloodcurling blackbird, a kind of a crow;
I’m a part of a popular poem by Poe;
I’m an actress from Cosby who had her own show;
And a Superbowl winner for two thousand oh.

Who am I?

I’m a note with no paper, a key with no lock;
I’m a movie for kids; or a string to play Bach;
I am low on the lift; and a razor in stock;
In the front, I’m a billion – in back, I’m a block!

Who am I?

I’m the team wearing white, when in uniform dressed;
I am funding for housing that states can invest;
The first page on your website; the place where you rest;
And when missles are guided, I’m what they do best.

Who am I?

I’m the athletes in Utah; in Halifax, planes;
I’m the dance of Chicago; or Harlem refrains;
I’m a novel by Toni; a film Ken explains;
And the new Diet Pepsi that flavor contains.

Who am I?

I’m the boys dressed in blue; I’m the girls pushing mints;
I’m a man or a plane that goes searching for hints;
I go looking for talent in hoops or in sprints;
And I narrate a novel in Harper Lee prints.

Who am I?

When I rule three by five, I am partially lined;
I’m a listing of pages you’re looking to find;
I’m a way to express how the market’s inclined;
And the pusher of buttons your hand is assigned.

Who am I?

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

To traverse troubled waters, I’m built at great cost;
I’m the place on a ship where the crew can be bossed;
I am found in a mouth for the teeth that are lost;
And if burned even once, I can never be crossed.

Who am I?

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

I’m the city of Helen, but foe to the Greeks;
For all silver and gold, I am weighing techniques;
I’m one lead of a movie, on Disney for weeks;
And a film with Brad Pitt that earned lukewarm critiques.

Who am I?

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

I’m the lowest of floors; or a ball that’s hit low;
I’m a place for a picnic; or beans in your Joe;
To keep children at home; or keep planes down below;
And you break me when building, but gain me to grow.

Who am I?
