Voiceless it cries, Wingless flutters, Toothless bites, Mouthless mutters. What is it?
Answer: Wind.
My name is revered in many places, and despised in others. People often come to me seeking wisdom and advice, and usually I can help them, if they follow my guidance. I am the overseer of two groups of faithful instructors --- thirty-nine on one side of me and twenty seven on the other, to be exact. I'm not a magician, but in the past, one of my manifestations disappeared for a time, and reappeared years later in a desert cave. I often wear a leather jacket, even when temperatures reach over 100 degrees, but neither cold nor heat affects me much. And now, dear reader, it is time for you to give your revelation of the solution to this puzzle. Who, or what am I?
Answer: I am the BIBLE. The two groups of faithful instructors are the Old and New Testaments (39 books in the Old and 27 in the New). The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in a desert cave confirmed the veracity of the original texts. Many Bibles are covered in leather (jackets).
What can tell you the time and bark a little rhyme?
Answer: A number dog.
Trapped inside a box-like prison cell, Bonnie and Claude had been placed under lock and key. They had both been there for three weeks. Claude was standing on his head, while Bonnie was lying on her back. Both of them, along with their co-prisoners, were all being observed by numerous passersby who watched them, just as they would animals in a zoo. A man, wearing work gloves and sporting a grizzled mustache, would routinely stop by and forcefully usher new prisoners into the boxy cell. At one point, a short female approached the jail-box and slipped a dollar bill into Bonnie and Claude’s prison. A sudden look of extreme determination crept over the girl’s face as she quickly grabbed a metal object with her bare hand, releasing a monstrous-looking creature which slowly descended from the top of the cell, and began slowly moving toward Claude, who was still standing on his head. Bonnie was not able to scream or alert Claude as to the monster’s approach, and its appendages opened wider and wider, while its claws began to dig into his backside. The girl gasped at the sight, but within twenty seconds she had somehow rescued Claude from the clutches of the monster, and freed him from his prison. Unfortunately, Bonnie was not so lucky. Can you explain these events?
Answer: Bonnie and Claude were stuffed animals who had been placed into a Claw Machine. The little girl placed her dollar into the machine, and was able to get stuffed animal Claude successfully out of the machine by using the claw which came down from the top of the machine.
