Riddles!
I love riddles so I thought I could ask some to you who also like them. Of course you can also ask them if you like! 
My first one is: I wear a dress that falls off me and I light until I die, what am I?

Re: Riddles!
Ok, there is a rather tricky one and easy one:
-I am a box that holds keys without locks, yet they can unlock your soul. What am I?
-By night I fly, by day I sleep. I do have eyes and yet I don't see a peep. What am I?
Enjoy!

Re: Riddles!
1st is anything with music (keys), could be a CD box as well as a piano or an amplifier or a radio or a drum

Re: Riddles!
Thanks. But why is it exactly a piano and nothing else? Just curious
(And it couldn't be a drum, stupid me!)

Re: Riddles!
Alright, this seems too easy for you guys, what about that one:
I can be cracked and I can be made. I can be told, at the same time I can be played. What am I?

Re: Riddles!
Damn, this is tough one. I'm thinking from yesterday and I can't figure it out. I will shoot "joke" or something like that but I'm not totally convinced.

Re: Riddles!
Hey joke is correct! If nobody wants to ask one, then I will:
-I am the start of war and end of sorrow. You can't express wisdom without me but I am at the heart of dimwits. You may find me in waves but never in oceans. What am I?

Re: Riddles!
Well, we are the Sherlock fandom, aren't we?
No idea for a new one, though... Feel free to go on.

Re: Riddles!
I like riddles, but haven't really retained a lot of good ones in my head (other than the awesome ones from the 'Riddles In The Dark' scene… ;D). Your 'w' one though, reminded me of finding this cleverly amusing back when I was a kid!
Yours were fun! This is an old, slightly silly and probably widely heard one….
There's a sign - 'Railroad Crossing, watch out for cars'. How do you spell it without any R's?
