Drift With The Current

Category:Riddle
Submitted By:grilledcheese
Fun:**** (3.21)
Difficulty:** (2.05)



I drift forever with the current
Down these long canals they've made
Tame, yet wild, I run elusive
Multitasking to your aid.
Before I came, the world was darker
Colder, sometimes, rougher, true
But though I might make living easy,
I'm good at killing people too.

It could have been a lot of things, but electricity is the perfect answer. Imagine life without it? :o

Excellent Teaser :D You stumped me, I couldn't get past thinking about water. When I saw the answer I was surprised :lol: Really Good !!! :D

Posted by RustyBucket09/26/07
For some reason I thought "fire." Electricity is totally right though. :roll:

Posted by Madelulabelle09/26/07
Great teaser! I loved it, (and got it right!) I was thinking water at first, but I knew that wouldn't work-I got electricity as soon as I reread the line about colder and rougher...really awesome teaser!

Posted by UptheHill09/26/07
Can't blame the coffee this time, that one was excellent!!

Posted by AuthenticallyMe09/26/07
I got thrown off by "current" and "canals". I only got as far as water and knew I was going to be wrong...but I couldn't think of anything else to guess... Great teaser! I had fun reading the answer and seeing how it fit in with the riddle. I just have ONE teensy-weensy question...How does electricity run through canals? Do you mean that it powers the ones with locks? Or are you referring to dams? I don't really get this one part...

Posted by jabdr09/26/07
Loved the teaser but couldn't get past drift-wood or tree stumps :-? Kept thinking it was dangerous for boats or swimmers...necessary for fire...which led to light.... but yours is a much better answer 8) :)

Posted by crystal204037909/26/07
Nice teaser. Like a bunch of other people I thought something to do with water! :oops: :D

I like the way you worded your teaser. :D

Posted by GrandmaB09/27/07
How about "blood in our arteries and veins"? . This works up until "it can kill too". nicely done! :wink:

Posted by princesspt09/27/07
i thought of blood.. but electricity works too! :D

Posted by vlerma09/29/07
:D Excellent job, Cam. I was trying to make highways out of the canals, etc. You got me. More please. :lol: PS: Congrats on TOTD

Posted by mathmaniac10/29/07
nice one! i went from water to fire...and was prolly gonna end up right at electricity..but 1:30 am is a little late...or early...for me :laugh:

Posted by MzPink8512/11/07

Posted by NooDLESrAMAZiNG07/12/08
I failed =| but hi Cam [= *waves*

Posted by wordmama09/26/10
Please explain how electricity drifts down long canals. The rest was excellent. I'll be looking for an answer. Thank you. :-?

Posted by JQPublic09/26/10
