I was gonna say, "You are the beginning of the end, the end of time, and you are in everything."

You say what you are in the question. :[ But yeah, I'm still wrong.

This one's pretty good, took me a second!

The word 'ton.'

Can't get the first one though, will have to think about it a little longer.

And now for some of mine:

A midget has a job st the circus, which he loves very much. For his 15th anniversary of preforming there, his circus friends throw him a party. Getting quite drunk at the party, he goes home to his trailer. The next day, he wakes up and makes breakfast. Halfway trough making it, he looks at the table in the middle of his trailer, drops the pan in shock, and shoots himself. Why did he kill himself? All the information needed is given.

Mine's a pretty easy riddle:

I have a bed, but do not sleep.
I have a mouth, but do not eat.
What am I?
Is this an oldie? I've never heard it before.

A river?

Well, I've answered a bunch now, I guess I'll contribute:

this is one that took me a while
you have to get a fox, a duck, and a bag of corn across the river, your boat is only strong enough to carry you and one other thing. you cant leave the fox alone with the duck or the duck alone with the corn. how do you solve it?
if you want to make it more challenging add this
there are hungry birds at the other side, the fox will scare them away but they will eat the corn and kill the duck if they are not taken back in one trip

My turn. Scene; a farmer has to cross a river. He can only fit two in the boat from this list, along with himself; Fox, Goose, Grain sack. How does he get all three across without losing any of them? Assuming the fox and the goose won't run away.
