Anyone wanna try this one one more time?

When you stop and look, you can always see me. If you try to touch you cannot feel me. I cannot move, but as you near me, I will move away from you. What am I?

What goes into the water red and comes out black?

A smouldering piece of coal.

What goes into the water black and comes out red?

A lobster.

I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost everybody. What am I?

Can't be lead, because pencils use graphite... Coal? because that's what graphite is.

Still unanswered.

Four people are sitting around a campfire after a long day of walking, when one man comments: "You all do realize that around this campfire, the four of us include a mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle and a couple cousins? Strange, isn't it, my dear relatives by blood.".

With no unusual marriages, how is this possible?

The four people are a man, his sister, the man's son, and the sister's daughter.

Correct. Duck Soup also got it in one.

In the campfire is the ashes of all there relatives?

No. The persons mentioned are all alive and all around the campfire. Around the campfire are only 4 persons.

Alright how about this! The mother and father had 2 children a son and a daughter those 2 children have had sex to create unborn twins both a male and a female both in the sisters womb.. So that would make the mother and father aunts also and that would cover the niece and cousin problem as well!

Close enough, yes, and graphite, in that order.

Works better in spoken conversation but still

'Twas whispered in Heaven, 'twas muttered in hell,
And echo caught faintly the sound as it fell;
On the confines of earth 'twas permitted to rest,
And in the depths of the ocean its presence confes'd;
'Twill be found in the sphere when 'tis riven asunder,
Be seen in the lightning and heard in the thunder;
'Twas allotted to man with his earliest breath,
Attends him at birth and awaits him at death,
Presides o'er his happiness, honor and health,
Is the prop of his house, and the end of his wealth.
In the heaps of the miser 'tis hoarded with care,
But is sure to be lost on his prodigal heir;
It begins every hope, every wish it must bound,
With the husbandman toils, and with monarchs is crowned;
Without it the soldier and seaman may roam,
But woe to the wretch who expels it from home!
In the whispers of conscience its voice will be found,
Nor e'er in the whirlwind of passion be drowned;
'Twill soften the heart; but though deaf be the ear,
It will make him acutely and instantly hear.
Set in shade, let it rest like a delicate flower;
Ah! Breathe on it softly, it dies in an hour.

I'll take a guess and say the letter 'h' ?

 

[Zacharine]

My habitation's in a wood,
and I'm at anyone's command.
I often do more harm than good
if just once I get the upper hand.
I never fear a champion's glare,
or a hero's unyielding stare.
Brave soldiers all, I can fell them down,
I never fear their sword or gun.

What am I?
