0 Guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Could it be solder? No, it couldn't, but good guess! And welcome! I'm not sure if someone already said this (I got tired of reading like halfway through the posts) Is it a microprocessor? Someone has already mentioned that.

Question
Guest
Together yet separate,
I never can retire;
For though I may stop working,
I am reborn by fire.
Conceived by one not dumb,
And born by killing another,
I am perfected by the noise,
Though I never had a mother.
You might use intelligence,
While others ask a doctor.
To solve this one, you may need to ask questions;
I will be your proctor.
