[Red Iron Crown]

Hiroshima/Nagasaki nuclear bomb.

Or just a nuclear/hydrogen bomb.

Or Cherynobl.

Sorry, no.

[cantab]

Unintended yes. I've not actually seen Highlander.

And yours makes me think of a volcano. Specifically Krakatoa, or maybe Tambora.

[Red Iron Crown]

Not a volcano.

[cantab]

Meteorite maybe? Though I don't think any have been confirmed as lethal, at least not to any humans.

[StrandedonEarth]

Sounds like some sort of killer, a disease of some sort. Polio was still around by WWII, less than a century ago, but I'm not sure how long smallpox or scarlet fever were a threat.

"Dark interception," OTOH, suggests Bubonic Plague

edit: another suggestion ninja'd and denied

[cantab]

Another idea: is it the iceberg that thr Titanic hit?

[Red Iron Crown]

Another idea: is it the iceberg that thr Titanic hit?

It is! Your turn.

Millenia old

When my bonds I first slipped Icebergs are formed when ancient ice breaks away from the polar ice caps.

With a dark interception

I sent souls on their trip The iceberg collided with the Titanic at night, sinking her and killing 1500 people.

The thing I destroyed

Is there to this day The Titanic still rests in the Atlantic.

Though it's over a century

Since I faded away The iceberg itself likely melted by the end of summer 1912.

[cantab]

I'll wave play on, don't feel like writing one myself atm.

[Sun]

Yay!

Riddle:

What has 4 eyes but cannot see?

[vexx32]

The Mississippi. Or really, any word with 4 i's in it.

You folks need to be more careful about reusing really old and well-known riddles.

[StrandedonEarth]

I am made from millions of similar parts that are not actually connected.

I cannot exist without a medium and the proper conditions.

I can be found in several places in the solar system, and in other planetary systems as well.

What am I?

[Souper]

Life?

Asteroid belt?

[vexx32]

Hmm. Sound? Electricity? Lightning? Storms?

[MGUARN]

Water seems like it as it can be in a gas,liquid,and solid form on multiple place in our solar system if i remember correctly.that or hydrogen.

[Souper]

Rings?

10char

[cantab]

Stranded posted out of turn, but anyway I think vexx has it with sound.

Nonetheless, I'll guess an asteroid belt.

[StrandedonEarth]

So far, no, but Vexx32 came closest.

As for posting out of turn, I thought it had been left open and I had come up with what I thought was a good one. Besides, I still say I was robbed a few days ago.

[The Mechanic]

Maybe clouds?

[cantab]

Wind then?

[vexx32]

Hm. Earthquakes?

[Red Iron Crown]

Waves?

WavyCharacters

[StrandedonEarth]

Clouds, yes, The Mechanic has it.

While driving to work this morning I realized a cloud could exist without a medium in deep interstellar space

[The Mechanic]

I'll skip this one.

[StrandedonEarth]

I'll leave the floor open for whoever wants to post a proper riddle. In the meantime, old riddle is old: What is the longest word?

And a joke for your amusement:

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker are eating at a Chinese restaurant. Obi-Wan is eating quickly with the chopsticks, not dropping even a grain of rice. Luke can't get the hang of them, getting food everywhere but his mouth. Finally Obi-Wan says:

*wait for it*

"Use the Fork, Luke!"

*ducks and runs from the chorus of groans*

[cantab]

Smiles, because it's got a mile between the first and last letters.

Or elastic, because it stretches. Stretched taut, there's an AU between first and last letters.

Or maybe it's really and truly something with a light-year at the end.
