I weaken all men for hours each day. I show you strange visions while you are away. I take you by night, by day take you back. None suffer to have me, but do from my lack. What am I?

I can be cracked, I can be made. I can be told, I can be played. What am I?

Take one out and scratch my head, I am now black but once was red. What am I?

I have two hands, but I can not scratch myself. What am I?

I have a little house in which I live all alone. It has no doors or windows, and if I want to go out I must break through the wall. What am I?

I am always hungry and will die if not fed, but whatever I touch will soon turn red. What am I?

Two in a corner, 1 in a room, 0 in a house, but 1 in a shelter. What am I?

I have a big mouth and I am also quite loud! I am NOT a gossip but I do get involved with everyone's dirty business. What am I?

I am a box that holds keys without locks, yet they can unlock your soul. What am I?

I am the beginning of everything, the end of everywhere. I'm the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space. What am I?

I have billions of eyes, yet I live in darkness. I have millions of ears, yet only four lobes. I have no muscle, yet I rule two hemispheres. What am I?

I can wave my hands at you, but I never say goodbye. You are always cool when with me, even more so when I am high! What am I?

I have no life, but I can die. What am I?

I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost everybody. What am I?

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
