| QUOTE (Goatman) | I hope ur head feels better  |
Are you kidding me? That riddle consumed my entire supply of brain power. So much so, that I even forgot the proof that 1=2. (Good thing, though, 'cause that whole so-called "proof" is a bunch of hogwash ) 
Okay, after that mini-rant, here's the next riddle:
I am a critter. Remove a letter and I am number one. Change a letter and I'm needed every night. Finally, add a letter and I am an emblem.
Good Luck!

“Come on, Cedric,” Harry sighed. “We’d better take this together. You know, so Draco Malfoy won’t think I’m selfish. I really want to get with him, you know.”

A quickie riddle:
Which bird has the shortest bill, and why is this bird a strange one to have the title?

Well, I know that the bird with the shortest bill is the golssy swiftlet, and is found in Indonesia and Australia. Only it is very rare.
A strange one to have the title? Maybe because it is so rare they must be expensive of something, I dunno...
Am I being too literal?

After looking up the glossy swiftlet, I have found that this bird has the shortest bill. However, this was not the answer I was looking for. Mine was taken from a programme called QI, which gave the kiwi the title, and it's a weird one because its nostrils are on thw tip of its bill. This technically gives it a very short bill, as the bill is taken from the nostrils to the tip of the bill. I could be wrong, though. Kudos to Billywig2, and it's your turn to post.

ah, I see, The Glossy swiftlet is the bird with the absolute shortest bill, and then the kiwi has the shortest bill, probably.
anyway, lets see now...
Ok, I have this horse right, and her name is Molly (she's so pretty, a black and white tobiano paint) and anyway, she was tied up to this 10ft rope, but she managed to get into a bucket of oats that I had laying 15 feet away. How did she manage it?

Okay, next riddle, in the style I've come to like I am a firth. Change a letter and I fly at night. Add a letter and I'm a relaxant. Jerry, Colin is not the answer

You have just confirmed my suspicians that there is a mistake, then.
Mouth, moth, something.
But Mouth -> Moth is remove a letter, not change a letter, so I didn't carry on.

Nope, I'm pretty sure I'm right in this one. More clues: 1) A synonym for 'firth' is lagoon, gulf, etc... (courtesy of thesaurus.com) 2) "I fly at night" - I am also "blind".
