{\it
{\Large T}hese are some riddles picked off the eklektic server at
Pittsburgh. Enjoy... \\}

\begin{enumerate}
\item    {For our ambrosia we were blessed,\\
         by Jupiter, with a sting of death.\\
         Though our might, to some is jest,\\
         we have quelled the dragon's breath.\\
           Who are we?}
         
\item     {Colored as a maiden tweaked,\\
         time was naught when I began;\\
         through the garden I was sneaked,\\
         I alone am the fall of man.\\
           What am I?}
         
\item     {Early ages the iron boot tread,\\
         with Europe at her command.\\
         Through time power slipped and fled,\\
         'til the creation of new holy land.\\
           Who am I?}
         
\item     {One thin, one bold,\\
         one sick, one cold.\\
         The earth we span,\\
         to prey upon man.\\
           Who are we?}
         
\item    {One where none should be,\\
         or maybe where two should be,\\
         seeking out purity,\\
         in the kings trees.\\
          What am I?  }
         
\item     {He who makes it does not keep it.\\
         He who takes it does not know it.\\
         He who knows it does not want it.\\
         He who gathers it must destroy it.\\
          What is it?}
         
\item     {One tooth to bite,\\
         he's the forests foe.\\
         One tooth to fight,\\
         as all Norse know.\\
          What is it?}
         
\item     {This creature, part man and part tree,\\
         hates the termite as much as the flea.\\
         His tracks do not match,\\
         and his limbs may detach,\\
         but he's not a strange creature to see.\\
          What is it?}
         
\item     {The part of the bird\\
         that is not in the sky,\\
         which can swim in the ocean\\
         and always stay dry.\\
          What is it?}
         
\item     {Dead and bound,\\
         what once was free.\\
         What made no sound,\\
         now sings with glee.\\
          What is it?}
         
\item     {The root tops the trunk\\
         on this backward thing,\\
         that grows in the winter\\
         and dies in the spring.\\
          What is it?}
         
\item     {Touching one, yet holding two,\\
         it is a one link chain\\
         binding those who keep words true,\\
         'til death rent it in twain.\\
          What is it?\\}
