You've probably heard this before, but for those who haven't, here goes...
The person who makes it, sells it.
The person who buys it, gives it away.
and, The person who uses it, doesn't know they're using it.

What is it?

what goes, Black,White,Black,White,Black,White,Black,White,Black,White, quickley down a hill.

Could be a nun rolling down a hill.

what has four legs then two and finaly three legs troughout its life.


Man crawling, walking and using a stick. This is the sphinx's riddle.

what has eyes but cannot see lives in the ground but dos'nt move, has roots but no family.


A Potato.

a man has a three legged chair / stool but cant sit on it , why.


Not sure on this one, could be that it should have four legs or it doesn't have a seat, or, getting into the realms of the silly, it is upside down.

What has four wheels and flies?

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

No sooner spoken than broken, what is it?

What is lighter than a feather yet no man can hold it for long?

Cogito, ergo sum.
Cogito sumere potum alterum.
