...Envelope?

Good one =D
(I'm kind of a riddle expert)

Cheers,

Will.

ok, how bout this.

on or off; the signals pass
fleeing one way very fast

on a green carpet to which there is Si
you hope i won't wonder "who am I?"

whirring around me when i get hot
water's a thing I fear a lot

your eyes which see me will surely impair
i really hope you do take really good care

light flowing down miles of glass
under water so violent a place to pass

this is the link you all want and need
you just cannot find the signal indeed

words are there in forms and sums
but you need 0 to start, or was it one?

What (who? lol) am I?

pretty easy
:rheart:

actually... eye would be right as well.. it meets all the requirements. In fact... eye would be more right than an envelope because and envelope could contain more than one letter.

EDIT: to keep the thread going, here's a new one:

What goes around the world but stays in a corner?

But the riddle says "i contain only one letter. Yet i am not a letter."

There are three letters in E-Y-E, if I count correctly :cool:
But nevertheless a good guess!

lol but i have one!!!

I talk, but I do not speak my mind. I hear words, but I do not listen to thoughts. When I wake, all see me.When I sleep, all hear me. Many heads are on my shoulders. Many hands are at my feet. The strongest steel cannot break my visage. But the softest whisper can destroy me.

Pexster 08-31-2009 01:20 AM

Something to do with multiple personalities.

lines 1-2 refer to electrical transfer on or off
lines 3-4 refer to the motherboard, the element Silicon, and the prospect of AI
lines 5-6 refer to the cooling system
lines 7-8 (computer screen)
9-12 internet/ fiber optic cables across the atlantic
13-24 binary code:cool::rheart:

That was so unbelievably obscure. Plus it sounded like emo teenage poetry. I gave up almost immediately >_>

Here's one for you kids.

A man's plane crash lands near a small tropical island in the middle of the ocean. He manages to swim ashore, but has no food, no water, no compass, map, or supplies, not even a phone or radio. The island is covered by dense, nigh-inpenetrable jungle. The only thing he knows about the island is that there is a 100-meter tall tower somewhere on it with a radio in it capable of calling for help. With no compass, map, idea of where the tower is, or idea of where he himself is, how does he find the tower?

Well, I have never heard of a jungle that was 100-meters tall, so a little swim in the ocean should show where the tower is.
