What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?
Mod
I think the answer is "river," but I actually prefer yours, as it kinda fits and is much more amusing. :)
The answer is river, though I agree that "pick-up truck" is an amusing answer. Do trucks have heads or mouths, though?The next riddle goes to you, Mike!
Mod
With piercing force it doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might,
Eternally joining in a single bite
What is it?
Trucks have HEAD lights. As for a mouth, I thought of something earlier but I forgot. ^^;;;

Is it a fork?
It seems like a silly answer, but everything else I can think of is either too obvious or too obscure. "Fork" makes sense to me.
Mod
"Fork" is a very good guess (and makes sense to me too), but not quite right. Hint - The "victims" here never have blood. The last line is pretty important (or at least was for me solving it...)
Mod
What makes a loud noise when changing its jacket, becomes larger but weighs less?
Mod
Mod
Hopefully an easier one: I am lighter than a feather, yet no man can hold me for very long. What am I?
That one was tough! Never would've guessed popcorn!For the current riddle, your shadow?
(And if I'm right, someone else come up with a riddle. I've done all the ones I know)
Mod
Hmm...Is that a hint? Is it sunlight?
Mod
How about air? It was actually the first thing I thought of, but I didn't think it was right.
Mod
Your turn! :)
Ah. How clever.Which is correct to say, "The yolk of the egg are white," or "The yolk of the egg is white?"

Neither are correct. Yolks are yellow.
Someone else can tell a riddle. I'm all out of them.

I guess I'll put up a new riddle.A boy and his father get in a car accident and are rushed to the hospital. Upon arrival they are met with a doctor. The doctor takes a look at the boy and says, "I cannot operate on him! He is my son!". How can this be?
Mod
Forward I'm heavy, but backwards I'm not. What am I?
A woman was horrified to find a fly in her tea. The waiter took her cup and went into the kitchen and returned with a fresh cup of tea. She shouted, "You brought me the same tea!" How did she know?
Nope ;) There isn't a fly in the tea anymore, but some how she knew it was the same tea as before. How did she know?!
Mod
Hahaha! That would be one lousy waiter. :)
She put sugar in the tea before noticing the fly. The tea brought back to her was sweet, so she knew it wasn't fresh.

Three brothers share a family sport:
A non-stop marathon
The oldest one is fat and short
And trudges slowly on
The middle brother's tall and slim
And keeps a steady pace
The youngest runs just like the wind,
A-speeding through the race
"He's young in years, we let him run,"
The other brothers say
"'Cause though he's surely number one,
He's second, in a way."
Ha, I figured it out! They are the hands on a clock. The oldest brother is the hour hand, the middle is the minute hand and the youngest is the second hand.
You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
Mod
Ha. You can't fool me! Electric trains don't have smoke(unless it's on fire).
How far will a blind dog walk into a forest?

A truck driver is going opposite traffic on a one-way street. A police officer sees him but doesn't stop him.
Why didn't the police officer stop him?
It's an ambulance? Or maybe a firetruck?
Mod
I don't suppose the driver is going backwards?
