Riddles, real ones

[rozn]

A cowboy comes to town on Friday and then 2 days later leaves on Friday.
How did he do it?

His horse's name was Friday?

A guy named Ridge has won a car and has to go in a room and stay there for exactly 30 minutes. He has no clock, watch or anything that tells time. He was given a lighter and a candle that burns for 1 hour. He has nothing to measure the candle with. He walks out 30 minutes later, how did he do it?

He waited for the candle to be half burnt down?

1st one yes 2nd one no. How could he know what was half?

And another:
What is it which builds things up?
Lays mountains low?
Dries up lakes,
And makes things grow?
Cares not a whim about your passing?
And is like few other things,
Because it is everlasting?

Time.

Two men walk into a bar. Both order the same drink prepared the same way.
One man guzzles his drink (thirsty fool); the other drinks slowly.
The former lives, the latter dies.
Why?

it went to his head?

Nope, still looking for an answer for this one.

After some dwarven pondering (an' lots of alcohol):
The dwarves are both on fire, the first one extinguishes the fire with his ale, the second one hedonistically prefers to enjoy every sip of his mug, but alas, burns to cinders. Good thing the barkeep was thinking quickly, not serving them whisky.
