With the invention of google, it's hard to do this legit but since you're all respectable people I thought it could be fun. Post riddles, give hints if necessary and please don't google the answer!
I'll start.

Here's a rough translation of a riddle I know in Hebrew:

Soldiers without souls, a battle field without war.

What am I describing?

[Rachelle]

Robots?

[Leyloth]

No, sorry, try again. =]

"a battle field without war"

[Rachelle]

Computers? Internet type net stuff? Hackers?

[XxEvanescentMoonxX]

A battle field and the soldiers are at peace???????

[Leyloth]

Not computer, robot, internet, hacker type thing. This is an old riddle, probably thought of before computers.

Soldiers at peace doesn't explain "Soldiers without souls".

You must look at both sides of the riddle, to solve it. Once you realize the answer, you'll agree it makes perfect sense.

You guys should post riddles of your own!

[Skallagrim]

Soldiers without souls, a battle field without war? The only thing that springs to mind is a chess board and chess pieces.

[Rachelle]

Ah. That sounds right. Or checkers?

[Leyloth]

Chess it is. =]

[XxEvanescentMoonxX]

WOW! OMGGGG that's sooo awesome! Why didn't I think of it...WOW! =3 I'm stoked!

((Nice. Here's one.))
In France, there was a man. When his hand was closed, people were fine. When his hand was open, people died.

Now, who was the man?

*edit* ((Changed the beginning from "if France" to "in France")

[XxEvanescentMoonxX]

OOOOH oooh I know I know!!! The Angel of Death??? Or Maybe God? -​-

[Ghost_x1000]

((It was a man, not a supernatural being))

All things this thing devours, birds, beasts, trees, and flowers, it chews iron, and naws steel, and grinds the hearts of stones to meal, it slays kings, and destorys kingdoms, and beats the high mountain down, what am i?

Alive without breath, as cold as death, never thirsty always drinking, clade in mail, but never clincking, what am i?

Worldless it screams, wingless it flutters, toothless it bites, and mouthless it mutters, what am i?


3 different riddles for you. lol have fun with them ^_^

[Ghost_x1000]

Time, Earth, and Wind, right? ((Those have been overused.
Has anyone come up with an answer to mine yet? (It's pretty much made up, (based off of another riddle) and I'd like to see if it's too hard to use in public.)))

1. machinery?

[Keeley]

ghost you told us the answer

[Ghost_x1000]

((That wasn't the answer, that was a hint. It was a reply to XxEvanescentMoonxX's guess. When I tell the answer to a riddle, I'll say: "The answer is: X" where X equals the answer))

[Keeley]

a commander

[Ghost_x1000]

((Too wide an answer. It could be interpretted as correct if you don't narrow it down. But, in the way I originally wrote it, you are wrong. Here's another hint. The man's job had something to do with the situation.))
