U tell a riddle. Basic Rules. Guess it. He/she/thing who guesses correctly wins and tells the next one...
I'll start.
When it is broken, it still works.
Beating pains it not...
bit small and crappy, but a bit hard.

For all things must come to live
under their emerald embrace. . .
Either in their life, or in their death.

I cant answer any of these.... but I have some to share.
3 men walk into a motel and book 3 rooms at $10 ea - a total of $30
They pay the receptionist and are escorted to their rooms by the porter.
A little while later the receptionist realises that as they all came in together, they were entitled to a group discount of $5.
She gives the $5 to the porter to return to the men but on the way up he spends $2 on a drink.
$5 - $2 = $3
The porter gives all 3 men $1 back each
The men originaly paid $10 ea and have each had a refund of $1 ea - therefore have paid only $9 ea
3 x $9 = $27
the porter spent $2
$27 + $2 = $29
but the men had originally paid a total of $30
$30 - $29 = $1 ????????????
Would someone please return my dollar to me - I hate losing money !

thats a trick question! Nothing happened to the dollar. All the money is still there. Yes, they each ended up paying $9 each for a total of $27. Plus the $3 they got back is a total of $30—it’s all there. They were supposed to pay $25 but they paid $27, which makes sense because the porter kept $2.
Charges:
$25 for the room + $2 for the porter=$27
$30 initial charge - $3 refund = $27
Each paid $9 and $9 x 3 = $27
The trick is in the statement, “The three men had now paid $9 each, or a total of $27. This plus the $2 the porter kept for himself makes a total of $29.”
The $27 is the total payment and $2 is a cost, not a payment! It just happens to add up to $29 giving the illusion of a missing dollar.
I drink the blood of the Earth,
and the trees fear my roar,
yet a man may hold me in his hands.

A chainsaw!
how about:
Who makes it, has no need of it.
Who buys it, has no use for it.
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.

That's not actually true, I haven't put one yet after the one I got right and the thread hasn't died. That said, I guess I should.
A guy is locked up in a room and all the windows and doors are bricked up. So he's stuck in a room with four walls, a floor, ceiling but no way out. In the room is a bed, an orange and a knife. The room is surrounded by guards. How does he escape?
One day i'll learn to resist gravity...
