bring this riddle back to life itachi.

Well it seems to be a pretty hot topic. Maybe you're asking for a hint here.

Seeing all the intangible answers that have been posted I might as well say that the answer is something tangible

Hopefully, without giving the riddle away here:

the answer not only has different meanings but also can represent two completely different things

Wasn't this the bedtime story Otto tells Lisa? Not exactly the best choice to get a little kid to go to sleep

I think 5 is:

suppose

5- agree

Slow down buddy. The word has to have the same amount of letters as blanks...

Well, I got one of em

wonder

oh i know!

redbull =)

2 guesses:

a humming bird. They tend to hover, but it can certainly be argued or proven that they fly (even backwards and strafing side to side!)

a flying squirrel. They glide, not fly. But even though they don't do much of it, I'm sure they walk sometimes.

There are infinite answers to this:

1)lots of buildings have wings

2)maxi pad works =)

3)dead bird works

4)soccer/hockey

5)sculptures/statues

6)the wings on creepy gargoyle statues on big buildings (that also have wings)

7)etc...

1)fire

2)breath

3)are you dead?

4)holding cows together

5)typically a priest, but the way this is worded I'm going with many divorces

No, but you're getting warmer, just like your avatar.

since you're in a large field you should be able to see the city so you should take the path that leads towards the city.

I'm not quite getting where these 'if these lines were reversed' posts come from. Nothing in the OP suggests a chronological order. Having said that, the answer is still being a bit elusive.

well black leopard fits the riddle... so I'm just gonna say any dark colored hunter that can climb, land on, sit in trees

well how about

black leopard. Climbs trees, is a hunter, stalks prey, it's black so when it's daytime it's not as camouflaged as when it's night

Then maybe:

bat

giterdone, none of those answers meet the criteria of the lines. Nice try though.

grey cells, I like the conscience answer, but it doesn't fit. Does one's conscience speak to them when all is at peace or does it speak when there's a conflict?

snake poison. If you come to it (get bitten) you could die. But if you are bitten and you wait for the vaccine, it could allow you to live. (the vaccine being made from the poison)

This is the closest answer so far.

the answer has more than one meaning

a navy seal in camouflage?

This is definitely posted on this forum already. Use the search tool before you post.

I have quite a few of these so here are a couple.

What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?

What can you catch but not throw?

Give me food and I will live give me water and I will die.

What am I?

Here are the expected answers, but I'm sure we can get more creative:

1)a towel or sponge

2)a cold

3)a fire

Assuming a normal day and not DST:

Perhaps you only heard the final chime of 12 o'clock. Then it would take 2 hours to get to 2 o'clock. To take your question literally though, the longest you have to wait is however long it takes the clock to chime more than once at a time =)

Berta is...

waitress at a local restaurant (within walking distance)

er... I've run accross another riddle. "What/Who is/are 'abbas'?"

I'll leave that answer for LIS, since I'm not really sure myself <_<

Both largeneal and LIS are close, but no cigar. Too early for a more substantial hint methinks.
