Answer Me This Riddle

[Zacharine]

My habitation's in a wood,
And I'm at anyone's command.
I often do more harm than good;
If once I get the upper hand.
I never fear a champion's frown;
Stout things I often times have done;
Brave soldiers, I can fell them down,
I never fear their sword nor gun.

 

[Lullabye]

Time.

Now, what do I have in my pocket?

which pocket?

 

[Gardenclaw]

A simple one.. Steve goes to the petrol station as his car is nearly empty of fuel. On a full tank his car normally does 400 miles. He fills the tank till it's full and sets off again. However after only 200 yards the car runs out of petrol and stops. Why?

There is a hole in the tank.

Ok i probably should have pointed out there is no hole in the tank. But i'll give you that as i didn't .

Long neck, no hands; a thousand legs that cannot stand. Born of a forest nest, against the wall I rest.

That would be a broom.

Alive as you but without breath,
As cold in my life as in my death;
Never a thirst though I always drink,
Dressed in a mail but never a clink

One Time When I Was Walking To St. Ives.
I Met A Man With Seven Wives.

Each Sack Had Seven Cats.

And a last one and to recap the ones from me yet to be answered.

3.
He who makes it does not keep it.
He who takes it does not know it.
He who knows it does not want it.
He who gathers it should destroy it.

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

If you know the answer shout it out, but only if you have one to put after.

Why did you post that in <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.99031?page=1>This thread today, then make another thread exactly like it?

i didnt.

Spoiler

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

just a guess, but disease?
EDIT: or death, i guess that makes sense too

good guesses...but no.
since when does disease hide in holes?

do i really need to tell you which holes diseases can be found in?
apologies for the inevitable STI joke

"I am greater than God,
And more evil than the Devil.
The rich don't need me,
And the poor have me in abundance.
Some girls cry over me,
And if you eat me, you die.
What am I?"

He fills the tank with water or some other non fule substance
The tank he fills is not the one leading to his car's engine
His car explodes and rolls 200 yards before the flames consume the last of the petrol

My riddle (more of a logic question):

A monastery is filled with 100 perfectly logical monks.
These monks are sworn to silence and can not communicate with each other in any way.
Once a day all the monks eat in a communal dining area where they are seen and can see all other monks.
On the same night all the monks receive a holy vision that monks marked with a certain symbol on the back of their head must silently commit suicide in at the stroke of midnight in order to attain enlightenment.
The next day 51 monks awake with the symbol magically appearing on their head. Each monk does not know if they have the symbol on their head, however can see weather or not each of the other 99 monks has the symbol or not. Also each monk don't know the total number of monks that were given the symbol. They do know that all their fellow monks think exactly as they do.
Assuming no reflective surfaces in the monastery and no breaking their vows of silence, on which night do all the marked monks commit suicide? And Why?
