"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?

I know the first one, but not sure on the second :|

Thought I'd do some more "What am I?" riddles.

I'm as light as a feater, yet the strongest man cannot hold me for more than a minute. What am I?

Or if you get that one:

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single
I'm black, blue and grey,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?

lol that's what I was thinking ^^ I forgot the dead forest part.

a zip?

Nope, good guess though.

Teeth?

Sorry didnt mean that heres my personal favourite,

Soldiers line up spaced with pride,
Two long rows lined side by side.
One sole unit can decide,
If the rows will unite or divide.
Tell me, tell me, scream it out.
What's the thing I talk about?
