Correct.

Okay, back to the ones from the game:

1. It flies without wings,
Strikes witout beak, teeth or talons.
It has no eyes, in its pointed head,
But it can kill birds in flight.

2. Up and down they go, but never move...

3. He gets short when he gets old.
He goes out then it gets cold.

You got the first two right but not the third. This answer to this one does make more sense.

I thought of

candle

too, but I wasn't sure it may be referred as "he".

Renodox · Sat 23/02/2013 03:20:43

Well, in this case he was. The answer was Candle.

Yes, pets was right.

Historical leader commonly found in burger joints.

In case no one realized it, "Historical leader commonly found in burger joints," is the riddle.
No one cares to even hazard a guess?

Is it an anagram?
Justin Borger?
Sirgej Burton?
Ernist Joberg?

Renodox · Thu 28/02/2013 01:15:05

No, it's not any of those. This may be a difficult one since the term is a pun on a primarily American-used term.

King!

Renodox · Thu 28/02/2013 08:18:30

Nope. This historical leader was not a king. Good try though.

Hint 1:

Spoiler

This was a real historical figure and a specific one.

[close]

Hint 2:

Spoiler

By the prerequisite of being a king this figure could never have been one.

Hint 3:

Guess "Burger King" would have probably been too obvious...

Renodox · Fri 01/03/2013 20:23:49

QuoteGuess "Burger King" would have probably been too obvious...

Yes. THIS historical figure tends to show up in pretty much EVERY burger joint out there. And to help this along a little...

Okay, it seems that I've stumped everyone with this one the answer is:

Spoiler

Joan of Arc (French Fries)

Stupot · Sat 02/03/2013 10:21:48

Ahh, fair enough. I thought of French fries, but couldn't make the link between that and a historical leader. I even Googled things like 'fries', 'chips', 'mayonnaise' in case any historical leaders shared those names, haha.

BTW, @Armageddon, what was the answer to the 2 eyes no head riddle? Was I right?
