For a thread like this, you really need spoiler tags... Flies without wings Bites without teeth Points without fingers Whistles without breath Strikes without warning Kills without thought Tornado?

I am carried onto the battlefield by the weakest of men, and through me armies are laid to waste, what am I? {Answer} a disease I like riddles where they point to the solution to a physical obstacle or locked terrain, if there is a choice of objects to investigate in an area, or something concealed, the riddle points to the key. I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter. What am I?{answer} A Hole and a tricky one... I am mother and father, but never birth or nurse.
I'm rarely still, but I never wander.
What am I?
{Answer} A Tree
And another type of riddle..
From the beginning of eternity
To the end of time and space
To the beginning of every end
And the end of every place.
What am I?
{Answer} The Letter E

That's my thought, except how does the young cow take the milk (white) and make it brown?
Cow poo is more of a sicky greenish until it dries...

Google image searching Manure, I do not see a whole lot of green. Also animals who have not been weaned still defecate. Whole milk is full of solids, in fact many products available, like powdered coffee creamer contain milk solids. For the sake of tone let's think manure and not poo. To a farmer's mind, milk, grass, manure and cows are all goods.

True, for the sake of preserving the theme, then yes, we can agree that that manure should just be envisioned as brown. If it gets down to facts of color, I imagine it devolves to down to semantics and what your perspective is...some "browns" fall into the "sickly green" category for me, or worse, really nasty yellow. But for others, "sickly green/nasty yellow" could be perceived as "brown". So semantics aside, brown=manure, and I'm cool with that. Didn't mean to kill the riddle with the poo comment...it was a cool riddle

Any riddle with cow droppings will probably cause some snickering at the game able, but that's okay too. Thanks, A great source for riddle Ideas is the classic BBC show, Knightmare. It is required viewing for DMs. Sometimes the riddles on that show are little more than poetic trivia. Trivia questions about mummification rituals and Egyptian deities can play thematically into a pyramid haunted by mummies. Knowing the relative melting points of different metals might be the key to unlocking a hidden vault in an abandoned dwarven foundry. Your players will feel a sense of pride and you will have given their characters something else to do besides hack/slash.

From AJ:
I am weightless, but you can see me.
Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter.
What am I?
Good answer. I guessed "light", though.

From AJ: I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a bucket, and I'll make it lighter. What am I? Good answer. I guessed "light", though. Light isn't weightless though Sure. But it's very lightweight. Heh, heh. Anyway, my understanding is that photons are massless, that is why they travel at the speed of light. Light travels along spacetime curves, but this isn't indicative of being affected by gravity due to mass. Isn't that the whole idea behind Higg's Bosons and whatnot? Massless particles always travel at the speed of light? If you don't travel at the speed of light, you are not massless. Please correct me if I am wrong! I can take the abuse and I might learn something.

I can take the abuse and I might learn something. I didn't mean to start a physics argument but you are right, light is massless, just that it is affected by gravity does not mean it has mass. However I do not think that just because you have mass doesn't mean you can't travel at the speed of light, my understanding was that particles (massless or not) who travel at a lower speed than c can't travel at or higher than the speed of c and vice versa. There are particles that travel faster than c, if they are massless or not I can't tell. Do not however take it for granted that a (almost) third year bilingual grammar school student who happens to like physics is right. This was a mistake I made in my reasoning, as I mentioned in this comment, just that you are affected by gravity doesn't mean you have mass. I hope I cleared up some confusion but this post is getting way to long all I can say is: Go fort and Craft!!!!!!

Okay, once and for all, this information that I'm about to tell you comes from physics school books. Light isn't weight/massless, it is true that the weight/mass of light/photons is really minuscule and therefor often referred to as weight/massless however it is not. The weight/mass of light/photons is 1.x to the power of -18 so it is often just reffered to as 0 mass/weight. So that is that cleared up.
