The Devil's Stone Vessel
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
I am a vessel and a stone,
When I am hot my temper is known,
I have my own money as well as a bank,
If I take a bath the devil you can thank,
I have no mercy when I am cold,
If I am bad ill will shall unfold,
I can be thirsty and have shot many eyes,
In the dead of night as the curdling hound cries.
What am I?

Very nice ElectronJohn, the hint made it pretty simple though (but without it I wouldn't have gotten it...so it all works out)
Thanks guys! I worked a long time on this one and was not sure if it would be super simple or hard. I mean once you know the answer and look at it again it seems soooooo easy. Glad people seem to like it.
That was very very good!! Probably the best i've seen! If you made this, WELL DONE!!!!!!! n if you didnt, good finding ;) Keep it up! Great Teaser!
this was a good teaser, but i agree with phily (i think) the hint gives it away
Being absolutely honest, I figured this out by the third line. However, I can't say it enough how much I LOVE rhymes in teasers. Nicely done.
The hint like totally gave it away!
Wow! This is one of the best riddles on the site! Really entertaining!
w/o hint, I would still be guessing
very clever!
Great riddle!!!
Very good riddle, but your first line confused me. When I read it I didn't consider blood as a possible answer because blood is not a vessle.
witty teaser! good one
Wow I can't believe it has been 9 and a half years since I wrote this one. I just found it again and I really like it if I do say so myself. The second part of the clue makes it too easy and I wish I could delete that part. But other than that I am happy with this one. Glad so many of you like it too.
