welcome to the new riddles and brain teasers topic, either answer a previous riddle by quoting the person and then putting your answer or post your own riddle.

lets start with a few

what does this say" NE1410IS"
what is is when you take away a whole you still have some left over.

a man walks through the desert and he sees a man lying dead on the ground. he has no clothes on and there are no footprints anywhere around him. he has a stick in his hand, the only evidence left is that where he is lying it seems as if the sand seems to crater underneath him, how did he die?

Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching

Bill bets Craig $100 that he can predict the score of the hockey game before it starts. Craig agrees, but loses the bet. Why did Craig lose the bet?

Here is a riddle for you, If your a fan of a series you'll know this and personally i think its a good riddle.

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Here are another couple riddles for your pleasure from the same series.

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking

What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

The Last one is good.

Here are a couple i just know.

What has a mouth but never speaks,
What has a bed but never sleeps?

What has Four legs at the Morning,
Two in the afternoon,
And three in the evening?

What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
And if you eat it, you'll die?

A certain crime is punishable if attempted but not punishable if committed.
