Riddles

[Zacharine]

It was in the woods that I got it,
so I sat down to seek it.
I couldn't find it
no matter how hard I looked.
So I took it home with me.

What is it?

 

[Zacharine]

that works, but 'a hole' was what I was after.

Actually both a hole and a shadow can not be of any shape.

Really? Name a shape that a hole can not be like.

Also, anything that has a shape is an object that can cast a shadow. So no matter the shape of the object, the shadow will be of similar shape.

I'm sorry if this one has already been posted.

A man lives on the top floor of a block of flats.
Everyday he goes halfway up the block of flats and walks the rest of the way up the stairs.
Why?

Except when it rains, don't forget that bit!
It's because he's vertically challenged, and can only reach the button for his floor with his umbrella.

I didn't know about the raining bit, anyway, you WIN
nothing.

"A chest without hinges, key or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid."

An egg.

Egg...
Simple as hell.

I would have preferred "eggses" but yeah, that was easy.
I've forgotten the one I was going to post. Damn you, lethologica!

Nothing?
That fits, it just renders the woods part irrelevant

Sorry, but 'nothing' is wrong. The solution is an actual physical object.

Another one: What runs but never walks, has a mouth but never talks?

A river.

Here's one I like...

Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

David. It's Roman Numerals.

D is the 'five hundred' at the start and end. In the middle is five (V). And the first of all letters is A, while the first of all figures is 1 (I). So together you get D-A-V-I-D, which is the name of King David .

 

[Peanut Butter]

I am weightless, i have no odor or texture, yet when you put me in a bucket I make the bucket lighter, what am I?

its a hole.

Put a hole in a bucket, it gets lighter.
Though I like to think helium, it doesn't have an odor, does it?

Hmm...
Dan & Suzy are found on the floor, dead.
There is shattered glass & some water on the floor, but their bodies are unharmed & they did not drown.
How did they die?

Dan and Suzy are fish.

Oh damn!
I've used that one so many times, but always a bus!
Argh! I feel so stupid!
Well played good sir, well played.
Nyway, as for riddles, here's one we don't know the solution to from the Badge Hunters:

Took ya a while to notice that.

No one has earned that badge yet. It takes more than 1 person to earn it. The ability to earn it won't last forever. This is the third in a line of three badges. The second must be earned before the third and the first before the second. No one has earned the second, but many have earned the first. I will "lament" if no one ever earns it.

Good luck!

Here's the mystery badge guys:
