Riddle Me This

Now for my own.
What is broken every time it's spoken?
[sub]Maybe that's not worded so well.[/sub]

SILENCE

 

[Fingolfin High-King of the Noldor]

There is a ship full of people, but there is not a single person on this ship, how is this possable.

They are IN the ship


EDIT: There is a box with no lock or key, but golden treasure inside, what is it?

Eggsses eggsses my precious!!

 

[Juven Ignus]

I am soft, I am hard, I am all around,
treasures both black and gold are found
within my soul and on my crown.
I am home to all, from farmer to clown,
from bird to beast, and those who lie down.

What am I?

'Twas whispered in Heaven, 'twas muttered in Hell,
And echo caught faintly the sound as it fell;
On the confines of Earth, 'twas permitted to rest,
And in the depths of the ocean its presence confessed;
'Twill be found in the sphere when 'tis riven asunder,
Be seen in the lightning and heard in the thunder;
'Twas allotted to man with his earliest breath,
Attends him at birth and awaits him at death,
Presides o'er his happiness, honor and health,
Is the prop of his house and the end of his wealth.
In the heaps of the miser, 'tis hoarded with care,
But is sure to be lost on his prodigal heir;
It begins every hope, every wish it must bound;
With the husbandman toils, and with monarchs is crowned;
Without it the soldier and seaman may roam,
But woe to the wretch who expels it from home!
In the whispers of conscience its voice will be found,
Nor e'er in the whirlwind of passion be drowned;
'Twill soften the heart; but though deaf be the ear,
It will make him acutely and instantly hear.
Set in shade, let it rest like a delicate flower;
Ah! Breath on it softly, it dies in an hour.

I won't say the answer because I had to look it up-but I will say that this riddle is evil. Absolutely evil. I don't think it makes sense, but I *would* think that since I couldn't solve it...

What is the only national holiday (USA) to not fall on a monday?

 

[Scabadus]

There is a locked room with three light bulbs inside, and three switches on the outside, each one connected to one bulb. There is no possible way to see inside the room. You are outside the room and can mess with the lights and go into the room. Once you go into the room you cannot leave, but you have to find out which light switch goes with which bulb. How do you go about doing this?

Keep flicking one light on and off so you break the bulb, then leave the switch on. Lets call this switch one. Turn on one of the other two. (Switch Two) and leave the other one off (Switch three). When you go into the room the lit bulb is connected to switch two. Take the lit bult out of it's socket and put it into one of the two unlit sockets. If it lights up that socket is connected to switch one and the other is switch three, if it stays unlit the opposite is true.

A lark may carry it, but the strongest man might not. Of what do I speak?

A tune?

Yep. Guess you've played Dragon Age, then.

Err, nope, no, sorry. I'm just inexplicably good at riddles.

How do you go about doing this?

Flip the first switch, leave it on for a few minutes, turn it off, flip the second switch and enter the room. if the light is on, it was the second switch, if it is off, feel it. if the bulb is warm, it was the first switch, if it is cool, it was the third.

Yea it's one of my favorites. It's one of those that are horribly simple when you figure out the answer but until you do it makes no sense at all.
If you want, send me a PM with what sections you find don't make sense and I'll see if I can't explain it.

What is not a crime, but people still try to prevent?

 

[archvile93]

What man loves more than life
Fears more than death or mortal strife
What poor men have, the rich acquire
And all contented men desire
What misers spend and the wastrels save
And each man carries to his grave?

Nothing, That one's pretty old if I recall
