0 andromeda Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) chairs/table?? Salt & Pepper shakers No to both. When I said that we use it every day I meant the lost tribes in Papua New Guinea use them too. But some people can't use some of those things. When I say we I mean mammals!

Question
andromeda
#1
Around the log two leaves of water lily,
What am I might sound so silly.
#2
Two jackdaws standing side by side,
But they will never see each other,
Can you tell me why?
#3
The cutters are cutting,
The crumblers are crumbling,
And one guy with muscles,
Who has to tousle.
HINT:
