He is a statue made of Styrofoam or a some type of similar material?

I am weightless, i have no odor or texture, yet when you put me in a bucket I make the bucket lighter, what am I?

its a hole.

Put a hole in a bucket, it gets lighter.
Though I like to think helium, it doesn't have an odor, does it?

Hmm...
Dan & Suzy are found on the floor, dead.
There is shattered glass & some water on the floor, but their bodies are unharmed & they did not drown.
How did they die?

fish

1. I heard of an invading, vanquishing army sweeping across the land fast as the wind; conquering everything, quelling resistance. With it came darkness, dimming the light of the sun. Humans hid in their houses and animals took to shelter, while outside millions of spears pierced, shattering even stone walls. Uncountable soldiers smashed into the ground, but each elicited life as he died: when the army had vanished, advancing onwards, the land was green and growing and the air refreshed.

What was this army?

EDIT: OH THE RAIN!!!

Rain?

Correct.

Inside a burning house, this thing is the best to make. And best to make it quickly as well, before the fire's too much to take!

Haste!

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.

A glove.

I may be thinking along the wrong lines here, but is the answer 'a glove'?

Love... no?

Alright, here's a new one:
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve." The member replied, "six " and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said ,"ten" and the man replied, "five." But he was not let in. What should have he said?

A exit?

Four people are sitting around a campfire after a long day of walking, when one man comments: "You all do realize that around this campfire, the four of us include a mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle and a couple cousins? Strange, isn't it, my dear relatives by blood.".

With no unusual marriages, how is this possible?

Right!

When I looked upon the flames of his passion,
And the coolness of her touch,
I knew tragedy could only come from their union.
And indeed, when they came together,
Darkness reigned upon the land.
And although they were soon separated,
Learning as they did that they were not for each other,
Still their passing regards for each other,
Left its impression upon all who had witnessed it.
And would be talked about for ages still to come.

Uhm, he's either weighing something on a scale (is that the correct word, here?) like a bag with 30 pounds of sand, or he's on the moon or something.

The sun and the moon? As in, a solar eclipse happened.

Three. There are three letters in the word "ten."
