    I hope these weren't posted before, but I love riddles.

    Anyhow, I got these from a book :

    1.What unusual natural phenomenon is capable of speaking any language ?

    2. A barrel of water weighs 20 pounds. What do you have to add to it to make it weigh 12 pounds ?

    3. Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain on earth ?

    4. What word starts with "e," ends with an "e," and usually contains one letter ?

    5. Forward I am heavy. Backwards I am not. What am I ?

    Here are five more :

    1. How many bricks does it take to complete a building made of brick ?
    2. how many of each animal did Moses take on the ark ?
    3. How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25 ?
    4. If you have it, you want to share it. If you share it, you don't have it. What is it ?
    5. In Okmulgee, Oklahoma, you cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg. Why not ?

    "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence ?

    1. How many bricks does it take to complete a building made of brick ?

    One.

    2. how many of each animal did Moses take on the ark ?

    Two, but Noah was the one with the ark, not Moses.

    3. How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25 ?

    Once.

    4. If you have it, you want to share it. If you share it, you don't have it. What is it ?

    A cold?

    5. In Okmulgee, Oklahoma, you cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg. Why not ?

    Because wooden legs don't take pictures, cameras do.

    How about these:

    1. The butcher at the grocery store is 6'2" tall, what does he weigh?

    2. The person who builds it sells it. The person who buys it doesn't use it. The person who uses it doesn't know it. What is it?????

    What is broader than time, yet more narrow than a strand of hair,
    Longer than an ancient rime, and shorter than a breath of air
    It is higher than the sky, but lower than the deepest sea,
    Evil cannot touch it, nor will Good its master be.


    Any suggestions?
