Middle Earth Riddles: The Terror Continues

[Firladion Greenbow]

Well what do you know, a Strawberry! should have guessed that, 'smacks head in anguish' [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Kalimac that's right, spider it is.

And you too Lady_Báin, it is indeed a sword, and by the way, welcome to the Barrow-Downs.

Thank the Gods you got them, I showed them to my wife and she looked at me as though i'd gone mad! (mind you, this may well be the case.........do mad people know thier mad?)

From Kalimac

Millions of lives will end to create me
In every house it happens, every day.
I am not alive, and yet I grow.
And when my growth is ended, I will shrink
Until there is nothing left.

uummmm, I thought dust, but I know that's not right.

From Lady_Báin

I can last longer without water that a camel.

I can be as large as a cat.

If you spell my name backwards you will get the first ingriedient in a certain public ridicule - the other being the supreme tickler

Oh gosh, my head hurts, too much thinking.

And finally, from Samwise

Many families live here
though they don't know each other.
Babies are born but mothers feel no pain.
elders die but no one mourns
nor do they celebrate even though
the deaths bring new life.
Where does this happen?

Could this be a forest or wood?

I am going to put an ice pack on my head now before my brains dribble out of my ears. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
