You may only ask yes or no questions to get clues to the answers. Here's the first one:

Those who make it don't want it. Those who buy it don't use it. Those who use it don't know it. What is it?

Well done Freaky. Here's a new riddle:

What thing do you throw away the outside then cook the inside; after which you eat the outside and throw away the inside?
 
sure is corn. Well done. Next riddle:

A man lays dead in an ally. An odd green stone lays nearby. Who is the man and how did he die?
 
Well done Juspar. New riddle.

A man lays dead in a field holding a small stick. He has burn marks on him and the stick. However, the ground where he lays is not burnt anywhere. How did he die?

He was flying in a hydrogen-filled "hot air" balloon and he lit a match?

Something like that, anyway.

Is that it or am I a little off?

I cant answer for AriaSilverfyre (it is his thread after all) but it is an old riddle and yes you are on the right track.

Hey AriaSilverfyre if you want to read some nice riddle check this old thread

First off, the hot air ballon is correct. Wasn't filled with hydrogen, but the burner went out and he tried to light it. the gas had been on too long and it exploded. *wink* Nice job.

Second, I'm female. :p He he.

Last.. a new riddle:

Romeo and Juliet lay dead on the floor. Bits of broken glass are around them. No one was home at the time of the death. How did they die and what are they

Goldfish ? The cat knocked over the bowl
 
Well done. Hmmm... I'm running out of riddles.... uh oh... better go find some more. Ok.... new one.

A farmer finds a man laying dead in his field. He sees a package nearby and immediately knows how the man died. How did he know?
 
Okay, my guess is the package was the guys unopened parachute...
 
Yes. That is the correct answer. New riddle.

The rich want it.
The poor have it.
If you eat it, you'll die.
 
I suck at these. Some just require a LARGE leap of logic.
Balloon? Gimme a break. To me a 'small' stick is still big enough to hit somebody with, like a broom stick.....not a matchstick.
I think the lightning strike is less probable, but more interesting for sure..
This riddle I got right off the bat...it rules! Probably a re-run, but enjoy!

A man works at a high-rise office building downtown. As he works he glances through a window and decides to end it all. He jumps through the window but he doesn't die. Who is he?

and no he's not Charles Nelson Reilly.
 
You guys are good. Try this one.

It's the beginning of eternity, and the end of time and space, it's the beginning to every end and the end of every place...
what is it?
