"Riddle Challenge"

A wonderful suggestion by the lovely Sleepy. The return of a thread full of riddles. Lets see how smart you all are. :D

Here, I'll post a few to get started, can you solve them? If you want, post your own. Remember, no cheating ;)

----

Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

A beggar's brother died, but the man who died had no brother. How could that be?

A word I know, six letters it contains, subtract one, and twelve remains. What am I?

What matters most is that it was indeed a nice site. This is a breakthrough.

A cowboy rides into a town on a Monday, stays five nights then leaves on Thursday. How can this be?

Simple, stars. I'm good at this sort of thing.

Greater than god,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
And if you eat it, you'll die.

Emm i say he goes to the east street, because if there only two barbershops in town then the east street guy must get his hair cut from the west street guy and if the east street guys hairs a mess from the west street guys cutting it hell go to the east street guy to get his hair done.
