Riddle #1:

Since my creation, I've seen countless battles,
Involving two kings and their castles.
I've seen drawn-out carnage that ends in a draw,
And I've seen the swiftest of victories,
Nearly absent of flaw.

I carry no weapons, no bow, no sword.
Yet I always survive to the end of each war.
I remain silent and still through each battle's end,
Then I watch as the same armies rebuild back to new,
And start the battle again.

Who am I?

Probably a chessboard... but that's kind of just semantics.

Well it goes without saying, don't google it lol. Then it's no fun. Maybe we should post our answers in spoilers so as not to spoil it for the rest of us who want to guess? That being said....

Abuse me for I will not care.
Curse me when I stray from fair.
Brute force won't put me in my place.
Smooth and even wins the race.
Envy colors where I rest.
No sandy beaches for the best.
What am I?

How the crap do you guys just look at these and say "oh yeah, that's an eyelash and that's a golf ball?" Yeah, they make sense after the fact, but WTF makes you think of this crap?

Tuesday, Sam and Peter went to a restaurant to eat lunch. After eating lunch, they paid the bill. But Sam and Peter did not pay the bill, so who did?

Tuesday must have.

Meh. The lack of an Oxford comma is the only thing that makes this a riddle. If you put that bad boy in there after Sam, it would be easy.

Today I learned that extra comma following the second to last member of a list is called an Oxford comma. I feel like me and you could really benefit from the others knowledge. I pass along my finance/math based intelligence, and you educate me on punctuation, parts of speech, and other literary things that I never bothered to learn.
