"A puzzle for yous all..."

My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

I read it that one gets removed so your left with 2 the next time and then 4 and so on.

If a newbie posts in Life, does it get read?

*wiggles fingers mysteriously*

If it does it doesn't get replied to

Nice, Ros, that's 3 to you now.... slick!

Want more?

Yey more more

Actually I'm really enjoying this, and that last one was tough

Every day of the week I climb the stairs to my office and count as I go

On Saturday I count the steps 1-by-1
On Sunday I count the steps by 2's and have 1 step left over at the top
On Monday I count the steps by 3's and have 2 left over
On Tuesday I count the steps by 4's and have 3 left over
On Wednesday I count the steps by 5's and have 4 left over
On Thursday I count the steps by 6's and have 5 left over
On Friday I count the steps by 7's and have 6 left over

How many steps are there?

A teenager has a completely empty room. He has no window and no door, he just has an enterance. All there is in the room is a big ceilling fan. He decides to hang himself to end his life one day, but he is too short to reach the fan even by jumping or even by throwing the noose up. He needed a way to get up. 7 hours later his mum walks into the room and the boy is hung by the noose connected to the fan and all that is below him is a puddle of water. How did he get up there?

PS. No one helped him up there.:-p
