Come on guys, get a grip!!!
Hey! I can't be doing all the work around here ...
What is it that someone else has to take before you can get it?
OK, I admit I cheated for this one (it nearly drove me crazy)... but it's a picture.
What kind of cheese is made backwards?
Edam! Good one.
the other ones are to simple
Most answers to riddles are. Also, thank you for the clarification, thaboss. For the record, my answer (and also the one I'd insist on) would be 1.

Let me see, let me see... OK, these most probably aren't as good as the other ones I posted, but anyway:

1. (This might be too easy, but I don't know...)
One of us falls, and never breaks.
One of us breaks, but never falls.
What are we?

2. Round I start, yet no shape have I.
Allow me to breathe, and my life will die.
The older I grow, the more sought after I become.
You will feel much better when I am done.
What am I?

3. I am never quite what I appear to be. Straight-forward I seem, but it's only skin deep, for mystery most often lies beneath my simple speech. Sharpen your wits, open your eyes, look beyond my exteriors, read me backwards, forwards, upside down. Think critically and answer the question...what am I?

4. My first half is a container and I am language understood by few, if any.
What am I?

5. There was once a man who had a very selfish and unkind son. So one day the father sent his son to the market with one coin and said, "I am sick and tired of your selfish ways. Take this coin and buy with it: something to feed the cows, something to plant in the garden, something for us to eat, and something for us to drink. Dont come back until you do this!" He is only allowed to buy one item. What did he buy that fulfilled his father's wish?

6. I soar without wings, I see without eyes.
I've traveled the universe to and fro.
I've conquered the world, yet I've never been anywhere but home.
What am I?

5. Many possible answers it seems, I'll guess green, or life.

6. Oh no, another one that requires knowledge of metaphors and etc. Light?

I'm really sorry, p1a2r3i4s5, but I can't get any of those... D:

Here's a great one I found! No cheating, please!

A man worked at a high security institution. The man tried to log into his computer and the computer denied the password. He then remembered that the passwords to the computers were reset every month for security reasons. He called his boss for his new password.

The man said, "Boss, my old password is out of date."

The boss said, "Yes, it is. The new password is different, but if you listen closely you will be able to figure out the new one. Your new password has the same amount of letters as the old one, and four of the letters are the same."

The man then logged into his computer with no trouble. What was the new password? What was his old?

Day and night.
That's correct.
4. Cantonese
That one's correct, as well, although the most common answer is jargon.
5. Many possible answers it seems, I'll guess green, or life.
This one's supposed to be literal... as in watermelon; the juice to drink, the pulp to eat, the seeds to plant in the garden, and the rine to feed the cows.
6. Oh no, another one that requires knowledge of metaphors and etc. Light?
That was imagination... yeah, didn't like it either, but I just put it in there with the others.

Number 2 was most probably a stupid idea, since it's too vague, now that I look at it; it's a bottle of wine.

I'm really sorry, p1a2r3i4s5, but I can't get any of those... D:
Still, I'd really like it if you were to examine the third one more closely .

I love this one, but I think I have accrued enough experience in riddles to easily find the answer... the old password was "out of date", while the new one was "different"!

No stumping you. That's right!

Is the answer to the third riddle "a riddle"?

Other than having seen one's share of this kind of riddles, there's kind of another way to figure this out, although more subtlety is involved; both of them were being redundant (a password that's old has to be out of date, since there has to be one replacing it for it to be called old in comparison to another, whilst a password cannot be new unless it is different from the previous one).
Is the answer to the third riddle "a riddle"?
Yes! I knew you'd get it.

I'm sorry, but this well's dried, for now. Hopefully, I'll be back soon enough with some more of the good stuff .

No fear! I have some!

1. What row of numbers comes next in this series?

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

2. Every time you talk, you break me. What am I?

This one's more of a paradoxical riddle.

3. A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

Yes! But can you tell me why?
"You'll sentence me to six years.."

Yep. I think the answer's pretty self-explanatory. If the judge does sentence him to six years, the statement would be true. This would require the judge to sentence him for four years; however, this would render the statement false, which would force the judge to sentence him to six years...
You get the idea.

Don't forget:

Hmm...

p1a2r3i4s5, you got all my riddles right! I really thought that the picture one would be easy, and the Edam cheese one would be hard, but...
