TOPIC: The riddle topic
[_strat_] Thursday, January 01, 2009 9:54:44 AM 

Found them! Please, anyone who read the Hobbit STFU, and let the less geeky members figure it out.

Here they are:

1. What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees
    Up, up it goes,
    And yet it never grows? 



2. Thirty white horses on a red hill,
    First they champ,
    Then they stamp,
Then they stand still. 


3.  Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.


4.  It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
   And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
    Ends life, kills laughter 


5.  A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

6.  Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.


7.  This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
