These riddles are the same style as Danicess used to do (wish she'd do more some time). No, you don't get anything for these, other than the satisfaction that you got it right first. 1. Bright as diamonds, Loud as thunder, Never still, A thing of wonder. 2. I know a word of letters three. Add two, and fewer there will be. 3. Lighter than what I am made of, More of me is hidden Than is seen 4. I build up castles. I tear down mountains. I make some men blind, I help others to see. What am I? 5. I am, in truth, a yellow fork From tables in the sky By inadvertent fingers dropped The awful cutlery. Of mansions never quite disclosed And never quite concealed The apparatus of the dark To ignorance revealed. |

How does lightning not fit into that?, it's a better answer then waterfall, if you go into the blue mountains you'll see waterfalls like 5 inches high. | |||

My guess for #4 would be sand ... "I build up castles." - sand castles on the beach "I tear down mountains." - erosion? "I make some men blind," - if you get some in the eyes "I help others to see." - glass is made of sand if I remember right, and then there's glasses Can't say I'm sure about it though, and I don't feel like searching for the answer online |

Originally posted by SolosilentOriginally posted by Mr Blonde 5 inch waterfalls don't make a sound as loud as thunder, lightning when it hits it DOES make a very loud sound. If you classify all waterfalls to be as loud as Niagra Falls then you're an idiot. |

Lightning isn't the sound, thunder is. And watch it with the insults, eh? | |||

Thunder is the sound in the clouds like a rumble, Lightning makes the noise -.- It's common knowledge! |

Thunder is pretty much a part of Lightning then, you can't have one without the other. And plus waterfalls aren't as loud as thunder, you can't hear a waterfall from 10 km away. And plus not all waterfalls are "As bright as diamonds", I've been to many in my day and they aren't all glittery. |
