Nope, sorry.

I am sorry for not replying sooner, busy on an adventure.

Yes, Marileangorifurnimalium (wow,what a name!) you were right, it was indeed the sky.

NEXT ONE

Though precious it looks, a shiny stone,
it was not born in the earth.
It speaks all day, but no sound is heard,
and no matter how far it goes, it will always end up in the same place.

Okay, here is one I just thought of off the top of my head. So bear with me (plus it is easy)! Ha ha, here we go;

"I am everywhere.
Some say I am many, some say I am one.
I have many forms. Solid when dry, liquid when wet.
I hold the living but also the dead.
What am I?"

I feel I should explain....
Though precious it looks, a shiny stone,
IT IS GOLD COLOURED LIKE A PRECIOUS STONE.
it was not born in the earth.
BEING A FISH, BORN IN WATER.
It speaks all day, but no sound is heard,
STUPID THING OPENS AND CLOSES ITS MOUTH ALL DAY.
and no matter how far it goes, it will always end up in the same place
BEING IN A BOWL IT CAN'T GET FAR

I am only explaining so I can justify my madness. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sam, there is only one thing running through my head.

Is it Christianity.

Wow--good guess, Joy, but no.
Hint: There were two LOTR characters who didn't avoid the answer to my riddle in the least...

Ok, I'm not sure if this counts as a riddle but I don't like be left out so I'm using it anyway.

You have fifteen sheep in a field, all grazing happily. Then some Sackville-Baggins comes along and steals all but 9 of them.
How many sheep do you have left?

This is really easy, but I'm silly and can't think of anymore - especially not as good as yours. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Samwise - That is a wonderful riddle. I was going to guess a church building but since two of the LOTR characters didn't avoid it, that's probably not the answer (well, were there any churches in ME?) Now I'm thinking...um...the hard way? The steep and thorny way to Heaven? Oh dear, what *has* it got it its pocketses? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Starbreeze - 0, because being sheep they all followed where the first one went? Just a guess, no idea actually.

Nope Kalimac, sorry, you're wrong. I thought it was really easy - oh well. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
