In place of cursed, insert the word "embarrassed". That might help in leading you toward the answer I've heard.

If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"?

There is no A in N-U-M-B-E-R-S

edit 1:I can't think of an A in any verbal description of a single number

one
two
three
four
five
.....

edit 2: one thousand.

What's black when you get it,
Red when you use it,
And white when you're all through with it?

What is it?

I want to say bones because whenever you move you get microfractures which heal and become stronger than before.

here are a few to chew on for a while..



An iron horse with a flaxen tail.
The faster the horse runs,
the shorter his tail becomes. What is it?

**************************
From house to house he goes,
A messenger small and slight.
And whether it rains or snows,
He sleeps outside at night.
What am I?

Answered by CaseTragedy

*************************
There is a seven-letter word in the English language that contains ten words without rearranging any of its letters." What is the word?

Im going to say a coal train.

After reading the definition of flax i say that becuase flax is a plant that produces fossil fuel and coal and is grayish in color. The faster the train goes the shorted its smoke trail is. Shorter as in hight from the ground up not overall lenght.
