| Deleted User | Yepper! Now here's a simple one...
I am insane, incredible, inert and intelligent, but not inhuman. What am I?

What can run but never walks,
has a mouth but never talks,
has a head but never wheeps,
has a bed but never sleeps?

The answer to my last one was, of course, "A Riddle".
Hmm...out of riddles as well....

In the beginning, I walk with four legs,

The traditional answer is "Man".
In these pompously correct days, though, I suppose one should say "human being".
I prefer tradition

There is a thing that nothing is
and yet it has a name
it's sometimes tall, and sometimes short
it joins our walks, it joins our sport
and plays at every game.

I weaken all men for hours each day
I show you strange visions when I take you away
I take you at night, at day you go back
None suffer to have me, but do from my lack
2.
I know my job
The point is made
I have a big head
(I’m afraid)
Put me in place
Then leave me alone
What I need you to do
Is drive me home
3.
Alone I am a bluff
Something like a knoll
With por I am mush
Sitting in a bowl

1.
Pronounced as one letter
And written with three
Two letters there are
And two only in me
I’m double, I’m single
I’m black, blue and grey
I’m read from both ends
The same either way
2.
I sizzle like bacon
I am made with an egg
I have plenty of backbone
But I lack a good leg
I peel layers like onions
But I still remain whole
I’m as long as a flagpole
Yet I fit in a hole
3.
I start with the letter ‘e’
I end with the letter ‘e’
I contain only one letter
Yet I am not the letter ‘e’

OK, you mean "Envelope". I still claim that "I"/"eye" fits the bill.
