This is not really funny, but it is for fun, so I put it here.
I have an assortment of riddles that I found online, so I thought I'd submit them one by one and add a new one when the old is solved, or after a day or two if it remains unsolved.
Please only respond if you have an answer to the riddle.
Riddle #1:
Just two hairs upon her head
But she wears a flowered gown
And dances in the flower bed
The prettiest creature in town.

Correct.
Riddle #3
My life is measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick...
Thick, I am slow...
A gust of wind is my greatest foe.

Riddle #4:
When I am filled
I can point the way,
When I am empty
Nothing moves me,
I have two skins--
One without and one within.
