Riddles and Brain Teasers....Can You Guess What I Am?

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

F and Joanne posted a fun discussion recently (except for a very annoying spinning lady) and towards the end of the discussion, a couple of people started adding some riddles.  I thought it might be fun to make this a game, BUT the Honor System is involved. Please post your Riddle or Brain Teaser below in bold print. Let's all trying guessing the answer WITHOUT using our old pal, Google or any other helpful site. Let's try just using our own brainpower and see what happens. Good luck!!

What am I??

I am solid, but very soft. I am clear, but very colorful. What am I?

I will help you with the first one.......the answer is..........JELLY!

Now, for the next question.

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.

Amy, where are you?

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Okay, so my left brain is needing a bit of organization.  As far as I can tell, these riddles are still either unsolved or at least the correct answer has not yet been confirmed.  Is that right?

I am slim and tall, 
Many find me desirable and appealing,


They touch me and I give a false good feeling,


Once I shine in splendor,


But only once and then no more,


For many I am "to die for".

 

There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is. What is the third word?"

 

What sport has four letters, is played all around the world, and begins with a T?

 

What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?  :)

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Well the first one has been answered but the answers have not been confirmed due to the absence of the original poster who has since been accused of torture and various other acts of cruelty. :)

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Okay - so the first and the third (four letter sport) have been answered.  Still nothing on #2 or #4??? 

[Donna K & Quincy]

#2 has been aswered by SheRicki. The answer was language.

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

Should the prompt have been written "The English language has three words..." so that "language" really is the third word?  Sorry to pick nits, but this is driving me insane.  My husband would say "short trip"!!
