I got 2 riddles for anyone who thinks they can answer them. Their easy to answer if u think about it. Some people might already know the answers but anyways.

I live in complete darkness, I have 1000's of eyes but can't see, I have 100's of ears but can't hear. What am I?

I crawl at dawn. I walk on 2 legs during the afternoon. I walk on 3 legs before dusk. What am I?

well one is right the other is wrong. now which one is right. let me explain it then. What crawls at the beginning of life gets older walks on 2 legs then before they die has to use a crane which equals 3 legs. So now u know which one is right. As for the first one i tell later if no one guess it.

This reminds me of a riddle i once heard in which the answer was "brain".
But if so, i dont get the "ears" part.

got another riddle.

I come in many shapes. I can show many things. I can cause moods of sad and glad. I can cause one to remember the past. What am I.

Nah, cant answer "brain" becuase i dont understand how it fits this exact riddle.
For instance- if it was brain, wouldnt the eyes and ears number be the same ?
That would be so if the receptors in the brain were the "eyes" and "ears".

Memories ?

Hmmm.

Dreams would work well here also.

I thought brain was the correct answer. However, it has been some time since I heard that riddle, so I am not totally sure.

brain is the answer it lives in darkness and has 1000's of nerves that feel (which is what see and hear means) and as for last one it could be 2 answers but one is the right one. memories and pictures.

I can be the fastest thing in the world. I can be the slowest thing in the world. I can fly higher than anything in the world. But nothing can ever see me. What am I?
