EPISODE I

No legs have I to dance,
No lungs have I to breathe,
No life have I to live or die
And yet I do all three.
What am I?

This is an easy riddle to solve. I will reveal the answer in a few days. Let's see who cracks this first! As soon as someone solves this riddle, I will continue to add more riddle to this thread. As the series goes on, the riddle will get harder. Good Luck.

OKay...so the riddle was solved within 3 minutes since the first post. The answer is "fire". Congrats to hipstergk27.

EPISODE II

What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees.
Up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.
What is it?

Crack this one! Good luck!

WOW! hipstergk27 is on a roll. Okay, this is a dumb one:

EPISODE III

I have many feathers to help me fly. I have a body and head, but I'm not alive. It is your strength which determines how far I go. You can hold me in your hand, but I'm never thrown. What am I

Good Luck!

You're not supposed to look at a riddle like it's a math question, Mike. You're supposed to use simple logic and common sense (paradoxally, thinking hard is what makes a riddle harder

).
Not trying to jump down your throat ('cause if that was the case, I'd just diss you and be over with it

), but maybe that'll put you in the right mindset for riddles and puzzles.
Not that I'm any good at 'em...

i got one..... Picture an empty wine bottle with a cork secured at the top in the usual way. Inside the bottle a metal ring hangs suspended by a string. How is it possible to make the metal ring drop to the bottom of the bottle without touching the ring, the thread, the cork, or the bottle while leaving the cork in place and intact?

... a laser. Since you are not required to leave the string in tact and the bottle is glass <transperent/semitransparent> burn the string.

well... i was looking for magnifying glass and you could burn the string with that... a laser would cut the bottle also, and thats against the rules

Go to sunlight (I know you'll probably say: sunlight: wtf iz taht? ), get a magnifying glass, and burn the string.
