Thursday's Thinker -- I Am Largest When Closed

And the winner from last week's Thursday's Thinker is. . .no one even ventured a guess?

Sheesh.

I'm having a lot of fun writing these, though, so I shall continue with the feature.



Last Week's Riddle:


With one breath I circle
the world, and have arms
But no legs. In ages past
It was a charge that could harm.

The answer: a submarine

(The "charge" refers to a "depth charge" that surface ships used to roll off the their decks with the hope that it would explode somewhere in the sub's vicinity.

I had to run this one by Bryan to confirm that depth charges were from "past" times, and not now. Indeed, "Now, we'd get 'em with a missile.")


This week's:

I am largest when closed
Smallest when drawn
Lovely when pooled
Helpful from dark till dawn.

    btw, what is the picture in upper rt corner? Buildinga are ok, but the rocks or whatever at the bottom of the frame look like they have a little face on them and they are creeping me out.

  3. My guess is the MOON

    And that looks like a Flat Joshua or Flat Gemma in the likes of Flat Stanley - a book character that travels all over the place.
