[QUOTE=Ravager]Be you ever so quick, with vision keen, by your eyes, we are never seen. Unless perchance it should come to pass, you see our reflection in a looking glass.[/QUOTE]
Something you can see only in a mirror... Vampires?

No that's not it. Nice guess though.

I have two possible answers:
Perhaps it is microscopic bacteria with the looking glass being a microscope.
Or something that is not normally visible....eyes?

@ dj_venom: Your answer on my leg riddle is correct. It's indeed from The Hobbit. Did you already know it?
@ Ravager: Eyes?

Please, keep the riddles coming.

And the riddles keep on coming:
We are little creatures;
all of us have different features.
One of us in glass is set;
one of us you'll find in jet.
Another you may see in tin,
and the fourth is boxed within .
If the fifth you should pursue,
it can never fly from you.
What are we?

*nods* That was quick. Well done.
Here's another:
Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

I do believe the answer is:
He jumped out and landed on a window washer's platform, or something similar.
Keep 'em coming.

Hmm... that's very close, but not the right answer.

Answer in bad English.
He didn't jump out of the building... quite the opposite.. So he jumped to that 22nd floor.

That's possible, or...
He jumped out the window onto the ledge next to the window and was still safe.

Your first post is answering a riddle!
Welcome to the forums and yeah, that's the correct answer, well done.

Unlucky dj venom
Yet another riddle:
Mr. Whimpy was terrified of the dark. When he went to bed, he would flip off the light switch on the far wall, then tear across the room to bed, 10 feet away. However, the other day, he flipped the switch, walked slowly to his bed, and climbed in before the room went dark. He only used his finger to switch off the light.
How did he manage this brave feat?

NO ONE BEATS ME IN RIDDLES. RAWWWWWWR!
Anyway, back to civilisation,
Couple of possibilities:
It was still daytime
He had a torch
The light was a timer
He moved his bed closer to the switch
Got a new switch put in

He hit the balcony of the 21th floor?

Just a couple dj?
The answer:
He went to bed during the day. Not dark.
Another one (seeing as you're all so keen):
A rich man's son was kidnapped. The ransom note told him to bring a valuable diamond to a phone booth in the middle of a public park. Plainclothes police officers surrounded the park, intending to follow the criminal or his messenger. The rich man arrived at the phone booth and followed instructions but the police were powerless to prevent the diamond from leaving the park and reaching the crafty villain. What did he do?
The answer for the other riddle is on the last page, Brynn

He must have gone to bed when it was still bright outside.
