Clicks and Giggles: Riddle Me This

[James Joseph Emerald]

the Firefighter is the boys mom.

Yep.
That was a bit easy. It works better as a pub riddle. I've always liked it though, sometimes people can get really stumped because the idea of a female firefighter (or surgeon or whatever) is so difficult for them to imagine.

Your turn.

 

[The Thinker]

A house-fire breaks out one night. Firefighters arrive on the scene to find a boy lying in front of the house, injured but still alive. The boy's father didn't make it out in time, having died of smoke inhalation. One of the firefighters approaches the boy to comfort him, but is shocked upon seeing his face. The boy is the firefighter's son. How is this possible?

The fire fighter is a woman. Or gay. Or the kid's godparent, who is now his new parent because it was a single father.

Edit: Darn! Foiled by my own slow typing speed/ my tendency to be distr Oh! Shiny!

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

 

[The Thinker]

A river.

 

[Gypsy Ninja Pirate Zombie King]

Yep, Your turn.

What is red when balancing, is hard to ever find in nature, can have no roots made evenly, and means, atomically, the opposite of what it should?

That's actually really tough. I barely even understand what that's supposed to mean. Like, what exactly does "atomically opposite" mean? And "roots made evenly"... is that equal length, or equal value for each root? And how exactly is the root "made"?

Mwa ha ha! I made this riddle myself, so perhaps it needs fine tuning...
atomically means "having to do with atoms", in this case.

Spoiler: Hint!

The roots it cannot have are important to electricity.

I hope the hint doesn't make it too easy, or still too hard to figure out.

 

[revolverwolf]

Negatives? It's definitely something to do with negative numbers.

If I'm right, which I'm quite confident I am, let someone else ask a riddle...

Quite right, so its anyone's turn now.

 

[James Joseph Emerald]

I guess I'll do another, to make up for my pathetically easy previous one. Hopefully this will be a bit more difficult:

A warrior, charging into battle.
An emperor, watching the heavens.
A crystal, shining bright as the sun.
A knight, standing his ground.
A dragon, awaiting its rider.
A soldier, piloting a war machine.

What comes next?

 

[James Joseph Emerald]

Ya'll give up?

 

[James Joseph Emerald]

Wow, I think I just killed a 23-page thread.
Maybe that riddle was a bit too hard.
In any case, the answer was:

Spoiler

"A meteor, hurtling through the sky." (Or any slight variation thereof)

Points to anyone who can figure out why that's the answer.

Somebody else can post now.

 

[Spoonius]

I still don't get it. Most of the riddle doesn't really seem relevant to the answer.

It's relevant, it just might be relying on knowledge that's a bit more esoteric than I thought.

Spoiler: Full explanation

Each line describes a logo of a Final Fantasy game in numerical sequence. What comes next (i.e. the answer) is the seventh line, and so it should describe the logo of Final Fantasy VII, which is a meteor:

This is a gaming site, and the Final Fantasy series is pretty popular, so I didn't think it'd be all that hard.

 

[Spoonius]

Oh ok. I've just never played FF.

 

[The Thinker]

I have also never played FF, but props for creativity.

 

[gameoni]

Hey ppl are we at a stall after that FF ride... If so I have one....

 

[kane82]

well since no one seems to be answering you can answer this or just ignore it

-I dreamed I saw a fairy's dance,
Upon the midnight sky.
Where lights, like lantern's grew,
Without a whim, or a why.
Amid their joy,
Amid their dance,
I came running into their midst.
But with nar'ry a sound,
They drew away,
And fell into the mist.
Oh, I saw them again,
But only from very far.
Dancing in the air at night,
Like tiny lanterns, or tiny stars.-
