Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

I’m eleven or seven, but naught in between;
I’m the best grade of meat; or a rib cut cuisine;
I’m the minister chosen to lead for the Queen;
I’m a rate used by banks; or Meridian mean.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

I am found in your retina, quite a collection;
A geometry shape; or a central projection;
Where CONTROL’s secret agents find silent reflection;
Or with ice cream on top, I’m a tasty confection.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I’m a story of structures; allow you to walk;
I’m the place of a meeting; permission to talk;
I’m a minimum wage, though employers may balk;
And the bottom of oceans, all covered with chalk.

Who am I?

I suggested that science make claims falsifiable;
I’m a fried cheesy snack; and make popcorn snacks viable;
A harmonica player with skills undeniable;
And a safe fun explosive (though don’t hold me liable).

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

I am found on the ceiling, or in your PC;
I’m a lover of sports or a show on TV;
When I’m hit you’re in trouble (I kept it PG);
And the fiction you wrote where Picard meets ET.

Who am I?

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

I’m support on the floor; I’m the tick of a clock;
I’m this line of the riddle; the disappeared sock;
I’m on hand at a duel; the right to a glock;
Or a life lived online, although others may mock.

Who am I?

I’m a dangerous substance; I sealed two men’s fate,
When I went to the loo and arrived at the gate;
If inhaled, I can kill you – there is no debate;
But you can’t live without me, so don’t be irate.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

I’m that moment of hope curiosity brings;
I’m the whitest of breads; or the projects of kings;
Little Stevie of music; what Natalie sings;
And Small, Woman, or Years among televised things.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

I am not someone’s heart, but I’m worn on your sleeve;
You have seen it on TV: the weakest must leave;
I connect Kevin Bacon to Christopher Reeve;
And I’m missing, but out there, as some still believe.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

I am weak in the hanger and melt in a fuse;
I bring money to some and to others bring news;
When I’m live, I’m a danger; when high, I amuse;
And I make electronics so easy to use.

Who am I?
