What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks,
has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?

A river

Your last ping pong ball has fallen into a metal pipe embedded one foot into a concrete slab, all you have is a hat, a ping pong paddle, and a live chicken, how can you get it out

You Macgyver that chicken up into a rocket launcher and blow the pipe apart.

What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?

Man. Now leap of a cliff since I got it right . Wait...that means I need to marry my mother now -_-

Kill the chicken with the paddle, collect the blood with the hat and pour it down the pipe so the ball floats up to the top?

You know, the funny part is, that's a WAY more logical, less gross, and far more humane way then what the answer calls for. Way to kick the crap out of the status quo! Kudos!

It's the story of your life. You crawl in your 'morning' on four legs, you walk in the 'noon' of your life, and you use a walking stick in the 'evening' of your life.
MY TURN! I'm not sure if this is a riddle...but it stumps people, so here goes.
A woman needs to reach her food convention in 5 minutes and it takes her 2 minutes to drive. She's prepared the bread to toast but she only has an old toaster which toasts one side of two pieces of bread in 1 minute, and she needs to toast three pieces of bread, both sides. How does she do it?

The match

 

[AshbyD]

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a riddle, but whatever: You're driving home late at night, but there's a severe storm going on and you see a large abandoned building to the side of the road and decide to stop there until the storm ends (hey, I didn't say you're particularly bright). You enter the building and the power is out due to the storm, so you take out a flashlight and start looking through the building. After a while of exploring the building, you enter a small room with two doors besides the one you entered from. The door locks behind you and a voice on an intercom tells you that behind the door to the left is a man with a sniper rifle about 50 feet away (I told you the building was large) who will immediately shoot you in the head the moment you enter. It'll be quick and painless. The door to the right contains three very large men and an electric chair. The men will grab you and force you on to the chair and turn it on. It'll be horrifyingly painful, obviously. If you manage to somehow survive your choice, you get to leave. Or you can sit there and starve to death. Which do you pick?

the chair the powers out unless its powereds by somethig else the electric chair just becomes chair.

That's really just the answer, the tools given are all misdirection.

hmmm, and here I thought it was that whole schtick about the chicken's blood and what not. Oh well, good call either way.

He suffocated to death because the tank ran out of air.

Or he was mixed up with the mafia and some thugs came to kill him but he tried to swim away underwater but they caught him and drowned him and then put his dead body in the forest, then they set the forest on fire to hide the evidence but the wet suit was obviously wet so he didn't burn (although he probably would still burn after a while). That's how.

This is BRILLIANT, good post dude. It all flows together so logically.

Whoever makes it, tells it not. Whoever takes it, knows it not. Whoever knows it, wants it not. What is it?

Funny money.

Spoiler

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 confes'd;
'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 the 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! Breathe on it softly, it dies in an hour.

EDIT: already answered, never mind.

Here's one (not my own - a cookie to whoever remember where it's from):
Lighter than what I am made of, more of me is hidden than is seen. I am the bane of the mariner; a tooth within the sea. What am I?

Hmm, beat me to it
I was never good at Riddles, is it.... Candle?
But seriously Cpt_Oblivious, lately alot of your posts have been of this nature, or telling people about the guidelines, can you please genuinely contribute to the thread as well?

Yea, I have been a bit grumpy today, but I assure you for every pissed off post there's another (if not 2) On-Topic posts.

Ok. What gets wetter as it dries?

A hole?

 

[InvisibleSeal]

Correct!

Another One (from the same source - cookie still on offer):
I have holes throughout, from back to front and top to bottom to core. More nothing than something within, and yet I still hold water.

Since that one is quite easy, here's another:
The more that there is, the less that you see. Squint all you wish when surrounded by me.
