A buttplug?

Use me well and I am everybody,

The first one is an onion. I'm still working on the second

[Pera]

I have one that's a bit like the one karajorma posted. I can't remember where I heard it from, I may remember it a bit wrong, but it should go something like this:

You are in a room with 2 doors in it. The other door leads to certain death, the other to safety. Both of the doors have a guard in front of them. The other guard always tells the truth no matter what you ask him, and the other one always lies no matter what you ask him. You don't know which door is which, or which guard is which.

You may ask one question from either of the guards(but not both). What question must you ask to find out which door leads to safety?

[karajorma]

It's from the movie Labyrinth but is actually older than that. (The version I heard featured a two-headed parrot). I won't spoilt it for those who haven't heard it

[Ghostavo]

Which door would the other guard say is the one which leads to certain death?

[karajorma]

Since Stealth's one has me stumped I figured it was time to return the favour

I have neither top nor bottom
I hold both bone and skin
Though I seldom make a noise
My names are quite a din

I've imprisoned men and women
And held them dispite their pain
Yet many seek out my endless self
for the reward of ultimate gain

Flesh

[karajorma]

Nope. Doesn't work for line 4 or 7

Not a bad answer though

[Stealth]

Tiara got it by plugging it into a search engine.

Good job, it's a mirror

It is weightless, you can see it,
and if you put it in a barrel it will make the barrel lighter.

If you throw it off the highest building it will not break.
If you place it in the ocean it will.

The rich men want it, the wise men know it,
the poor all need it, and the kind men show it.

What occurs once in a minute,
twice in a moment,
but never in an hour.

No, I wasn't even sure of the answer. I just guessed it... Lucky guess tho...

A hole

no idea yet...

The letter "m"

[Stealth]

yes, you're right with the "letter m", but you're wrong about the hole... although i'm sure a hole would work too
I looked at it and i knew it immediately

Everything? That fits the first three at least.

I was going to post that one myself except the last line is but never in a thousend years

Spot on

Still waiting for an answer to this one

I have neither top nor bottom
I hold both bone and skin
Though I seldom make a noise
My names are quite a din

I've imprisoned men and women
And held them dispite their pain
Yet many seek out my endless self
for the reward of ultimate gain

[Setekh]

Nope. I'm still stumped on that one.

[karajorma]

I was actually about to bump this topic since I can't solve Stealth's riddle.

As for mine I'm rather suprised that Mikhael or Tiara couldn't solve it (and if you think about why I singled them out you may realise what it was)

[Ghostavo]

History?
