<div class="IPBDescription">What am i?</div> I am creation
Fire swirls in my innards
In days long past, I fueled countless marches to war
Today, i am but a symbol of a bygone trade.
You may know me by one of my signature pieces
A blackened monolith, a symbol of strength.
What am I?

    I know it's not the answer you're looking for, but it sounds like a really really potent fart.

    This is probably wrong.

    but what the hey... how about a sword.

    You cant have life withought light or in the very least some sort of heat.
    Swords are forged from molten metal. ==light and heat.
    Swords being the traditional call to arms, a symbol even today on numerous coats of arms.
    Not too many sword makers/master armourors around today.
    Lots of well known sword types
    Swords can be black lol. A and Once again a symbol to power.

    yea thats probably wrong but I get an A for effort lol <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The Dark Side.

    If you can't figure out his, take a shot at this one, my friend gave it to me:

    Poor people have it
    Rich people dont need it
    If you eat it you die
    It's bigger than my p*nis-A bit childish but he put it in there.

    Sorry there is more to it but I can't remember it clearly..

    I want to make an angsty band or something.

    My logo could be: MORE ANGST THAN A LINKIN PARK CD.

    It would sell...

    Yes. There's much about Linkin Park that's wrong. A. Their vocalist sounds like he's raping my ear.
    B. They have at best, mediocre and unimaginative riffs and "solos"
    C. Their lyrics are horrible and full of teen angst.


    "Lol, Testament... 4 days... "

    And what does that -cough- cryptic message mean, Bizzy?

    Make it coal/carbon.

    Carbon is the base of all life on this planet, coal is a fuel that powered the forges of many armies including but not exclusively the Roman Empire, coal exports were also a major source of profit for the British Empire back in the day, and diamonds are made of carbon if there was any mention of beauty in the riddle.

    (I can't remember and it doesn't show up in the "last ten posts" thingy ;D)
