0 Guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) I thinks its a CPU, inspired by colorclown's idea above. The main clues that lead me to this are the reference to mother, the motherboard of a computer. Noise, or sound which is measured in Hertz, which is also how the speed of a CPU is measured. So the higher the hertz the more perfect. And the final stanza refers to intelligence, or Intel, and a doctor or "a MD", AMD, the two leading chip makers. I still cant figure out how this applies to the first stanza though. Edited February 27, 2009 by Crappyname Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Modem or Speaker? Maybe I should be more specific... A high Speed Internet Modem. Most likely Cable Modem as it's always on, and if it stops working you need to reset it (fire= electricity) The noise = the information (data packets) sent and received Intel/AMD are just clues that it is computer related... Modems (GPS you were probably thinking)can be used in bombs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 video games?? for lack of imagination, i am thinking that video games sell out like they are on fire, we use intelligent to beat them but once we become addiction to them, we would have to ask doctor to help us with our addiction in which they become our protection becuause games we play define us. i am just throw up stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tangible, and unless I am mistaken, some of the closest answers are related to wiring/electronics. It's something you might not want to touch, and you might find it in a bomb.

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.
