Riddles, real ones

[saltmummy626]

I like riddles, I know a few, and Id like to know if the H&H community knows any good ones. so to pass the time, lets ask some riddles of each other.
lets lay down some ground rules:

1. no fair looking up the answers on the internet. I cant enforce it, but please, for the sake of having fun try to answer honestly.
2. nothing stupid. I HATE stupid riddles. at least in this case. theres a fine line, the riddles meant to make you luagh or dont make much sense, those are jokes, riddles that make you think and go "ah! thats pretty damn clever." are the kind I want here.
3. once a riddle is answered correctly, I can add it to the list of riddles asked/answered. that list will be in the OP.
4. have fun.

once you throw an answer to one of the previous riddles out there, you can ask one yourself. If the answer you gave is confirmed as correct, good for you, you did well. a riddle that is deemed correct should not be asked again.

May i interpose a new riddle, without having answered one? (I will rudely assume the answer is yes...)

"You very seldom see me, except when you are sleeping,
And yet my every moment is spent before your eyes"

Turn us on our backs
And open up our stomachs
You will be the wisest of men
Though at start a lummox
