The future?

ArtemisPanthar 06-12-2009 09:51 AM

Tomorrow...or the future, I guess. So Meech beat me to it

@MeechMunchie: i'll grudgingly give you that one, it was tomorrow. well done.

I am the black child of a white father, a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven.
I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air.
What am I?

Smoke?

thats the one.

In a marble hall white as milk
Lined with skin as soft as silk
Within a fountain crystal-clear
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in to steal its gold.

now dont take this one too literally.

An egg?

To be fair, I have a vague inkling that I've heard that one a few years ago.

Wings of Fire 06-12-2009 10:11 AM

An egg?

Too late D:

ArtemisPanthar's on a roll! correct.

If you break me,
I do not stop working.
If you touch me,
I may be snared.
If you lose me,
Nothing will matter.
What am I?

another one you shouldnt take too literally.

Wings of Fire 06-12-2009 12:40 PM

Heart.

MA 06-12-2009 12:47 PM

damn you and your hastiness. your right.

Glittering points that downward thrust,
Sparkling spears that never rust.
What are they?

MeechMunchie 06-12-2009 12:59 PM

Iceicles..

Wings of Fire 06-12-2009 01:00 PM

Stalactites?

Canine teeth?

MeechMunchie is right with icicles.

My life can be measured in hours;
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick; fat, I am slow.
Wind is my foe.
What am I?

Nate 06-12-2009 06:26 PM

Firewood?

MA 06-13-2009 05:30 AM

VERY close, but not quite what i'm looking for.

they were commonly used in the past (bit of a give away).

MeechMunchie 06-13-2009 05:31 AM

A torch? Basically the same thing, really.

MA 06-13-2009 05:33 AM

it isnt wood if that helps.

Wings of Fire 06-13-2009 05:35 AM

Oh duuuh.

Candle.

MeechMunchie 06-13-2009 05:35 AM

EDIT: Whoops, WoF beat me.

MA 06-13-2009 05:42 AM

thats the jackpot, WoF.

When I am filled,
I can point the way;
When I am empty,
Nothing moves me.
I have two skins,
One without and one within.
What am I?

Wings of Fire 06-13-2009 05:43 AM

A non-Jewish penis.

MA 06-13-2009 05:47 AM

HA, very fitting. :D

a glove?

or a condom.

Mac Sirloin 06-13-2009 09:24 AM

A car?


Here's one.
I'm home to a rodent
That has no legs
His tail is long
Or not there at all

MA 06-13-2009 09:47 AM

ArtemisPanthar is right (with glove).

i'm currently puzzling over yours Kastere.

Mojo 06-13-2009 11:26 AM

Kasteres is a either a desktop or a mouse-mat (on which a computer-mouse sits).

MA 06-14-2009 06:36 AM

that fits perfectly, i reckon you've sussed it.

OddjobAbe: 10
BM: 1
ArtemisPanthar: 7
MA: 4
Kastere: 7
MeechMunchie: 5
Laser: 4
Mojo: 2
Wings of Fire: 3
Nate: 1
OANST: 1

OddjobAbe has reached double digits, with ArtemisPanthar and Kastere in tow.

As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, and I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, and I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, and I become the domain of beasts.
What am I?

once again, dont take it too literally.

OddjobAbe 06-14-2009 08:19 AM

It's either 10 Downing Street or a stable. Actually, that took quite some thinking.
