[Netbook] | Riddle Me This

[arbitrage]

[In neat, somewhat elegantly swoopy handwriting there is suddenly... A list of riddles!]

The man who makes me doesn't want me,
The man who buys me doesn't need me,
And the man who needs me doesn't know it yet.
What am I?

---

On my two legs I stand up strong.
I can be right, but can never be wrong.
What am I?

---

You pray for me when you’re desperate,
Curse me when I don’t show.
I’m blind, unfair, and unforgiving
Yet still, you chase me, bet after bet.
What am I?

---

What has a head and a tail, but is not an animal?

(Things have been kind of dicey lately. Figured at least some of you might appreciate a distraction ^^)

Oh, no need to fuss over me; when sleep won't come, I turn to puzzles. Sharpen the mind until the body gives in, more or less. You could say this little exchange is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Symbiosis at its finest :)

Without further ado:

What has an eye but cannot see?
---
What can you break even if you never touch it?
---
What has a heart but doesn't beat?

Ah, I hope that sleeplessness isn't too frequent. If it is, I have a tea that may help. But I am glad to be of some help regardless.

Let's see...

1. A needle.
2. A promise?
3. I would say the Mothercrystals, but unless you are from Valisthea, I doubt that is the answer you are looking for. Thus, I posit: a forest, or perhaps a kingdom.
