1a) A wee wee man in a red coat.
Staff in my hand, stone in my throat.
What am I?
I was thinking a cherry at first, but the're not very red.
2a) I am strongest when you see me as round, but I am often viewed in
other forms. I lift & drop the sea with my tremendous strength,
and a man with a name like 'powerful bicep' was the first to
tread on me.
What am I?
One suspects that we are talking the Arctic or Antarctic circle here - the ice raising and lowering the level of the sea, powerful bicep - muscle, Russell, no idea beyond that.
3a) I am a rock group that has 4 members, all of whom are dead, one
of which was assasinated. What am I?
The Beatles - in 30 years time
4a) The answer I give is yes, but what I mean is no.
What was the question?
I suppose a dance is out of the question then?
5a) "There was a green house.
Inside the green house there was a white house
Inside the white house there was a red house.
Inside the red house there were lots of babies."
What is the name for this house?
Sounds like a green apple with a worm in it
- of course it could be something else.
6a) What work is it that the faster you work, the longer it is before
you're done, and the slower you work, the sooner you're finished?
Winding something onto a roll - ie winching a boat out of water - goes faster when the radius is smallest, but you have the furtherest to go.
7a) Whoever makes it, tells it not. Whoever takes it, knows it not.
And whoever knows it wants it not.
Pride or arrogance seem a reasonable fit
8a) I am always hungry,
I must always be fed,
The finger I lick
Will soon turn red.
Fire
9a) Glittering points
That downward thrust,
Sparkling spears
That never rust.
Stalactites
10a)Three lives have I.
Gentle enough to soothe the skin,
Light enough to caress the sky,
Hard enough to crack rocks.
The sun
