It's a little game that originated an etrernity ago in a emulation forum I was a mod at.
Basically, someone posts a riddle ( it doesn't matter if it's copy-pasted or self-made ) and others try to solve it. ( you have unlimited guesses but you need to keep them all in one post to avoid massive clutter. edit button is your friend )
if it isn't solved after 24 hours, the riddle poster choses the poster who was the closest and edits his name in his post. Then, the one who got it can post the next riddle. If he doesn't post one within 24 hours, whoever feels like it can post one.

I'd like to start

Quote

I stretch across the Horizon - Time is everywhere
Bind down the earth - Even the most indstructible things will decay after millions and billions of years
Yet I am uncatchable - Thats pretty self-explanatory
For you, for him, for Gods as well - Same thing
No one has ever seen me - How could you 'see' time?
No one has ever touched me - Same thing
And yet, you struggle to escape my grasp - We all always want 'more time' or stay young, etc
No end, no beginning - At least none we can prove
I am always and never at once - same thing
For I am watching over all things" - Time is pretty much relevant to absolutely everything

Hit-and-homerun:
Time

Eternity?

Time? - Guess its not 'watching over all things'

Gravity? - Do gravitational fields end? or just become extremely weak at extremely far distances? Always and never at once...doesn't seem to fit.

The Sun? - Lots of things don't work with this

Hmm...always and never at once...watching over all things...

bah, time does not exist - it is but a product of motion!

Oh Goody, to constuct a riddle or go find a good one...(time elapses) ok couldn't find a great so here is a mediocre one.

You can take four letters out of this word, without changing its pronunciation. What is the word?

HintWord is 5 letters long.Hint

Correct KM, I wanted to post an old X O logic puzzle thing, but figured it would defeat the purpose of the game.

EDIT:

OK, my riddle:

I have one eye
There's a hole in my head
My housemates are nuts
My neighbour is an arsehole
My best friend is a cunt
What unfortunate thing am I?

Your turn, idl12! Think of a riddle!

Okay,so there's this lady at one of her family's funeral, there she meets this guy that she really likes, but due to the circumstances, she forgets to ask for his number, two days later, she murders her own sister, why?

I assume it's because she thinks the man will come to her sister's funeral as well, and she'll be able to ask for his number there.

That's right.

Vgr · « **Reply #12 on:** 2011-02-20 14:12:43 »

I've got two riddles, but I'll just wait to another one to be fair.

Kudistos Megistos · « **Reply #13 on:** 2011-02-20 14:48:13 »

While I am alive I do not speak.
Those who want to take me captive and cut off my head.
They bite my bare body.
I do no harm to anyone unless they cut me first.
Then I soon make them cry.

Vgr · « **Reply #14 on:** 2011-02-20 14:49:12 »

Blood?

xLostWingx · « **Reply #15 on:** 2011-02-20 16:30:24 »

A grenade or a trip-mine?

Live Explosive of some type.

@Tekkie.X nice guess. "They bite my bare body" lol

Google's servers.

Actually the answer could be any number of "always on" electronic systems. A fridge, perhaps?

Tekkie.X · « **Reply #21 on:** 2011-02-20 18:30:47 »

Not quite.

xLostWingx · « **Reply #22 on:** 2011-02-20 19:25:37 »

With pointed fangs it sits in wait,
With piercing force it doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might,
Eternally joining in a single bite.
What am I?
