Signs?

Infrastructure?

Builders flag pipes, underground electrical lines and communications lines before beginning construction

Surgeons are constantly making sure that they are not severing nerves or nicking veins, arteries and/or other vital organs during surgery.

I agree.

I looked it up online. it is "skeleton."

This letter he wrote,
But had nothing to write;
Yet the blind man read it
And the dumb man said it,
While the deaf man heard it alright.

Hmm... how about H?

Nope. Try again

No guessers?

Think of a letter that can also be a number.

In reply to Heath (msg # 51):

The first to come to mind is O, that can be also 0.

Yes, that is correct! This is  actually not 100% original. I modified it from a common riddle that goes like this:

A headless man had a letter to write; It was read by a man who had lost his sight. The dumb repeated it word for word, And deaf was he who listened and heard.

"The letter in question is the letter "O". It is zero. The man had nothing to write. The blind could read nothing. The person who was dumb could repeat nothing. The deaf man listened and heard nothing."

My challenge has made men throughout time stumble,
I have defeated kings and left wise men humble,

You see me now, but I am most often heard,
and have killed men when with bullets paired,

You might break a sweat when fighting with me,
but I'll exert no pressure on your body,

a with a direct approach you can never find victory,
work laterally rather than literally.

What am I?

Words?

In reply to Heath (msg # 55):

Not really :)

damn that's a good one...

i have a couple guesses (but im not too confident on either):

1. The Unknown
2. Fear

lmk :)

In reply to Froggychum (msg # 57):

Not yet :)

perhaps anger or violence?

Not really... do you need a hint?

I could use one, I think :P

In reply to Froggychum (msg # 61):

I'm a very boring fool.

that's not ringing too many bells..

but i read it again and had another idea:

it could be related to these ideas, which are all very similar:

* the wind
* oxygen
* atmosphere
* sound
* motion
* fluidity

If it's none of those, it could also be: DANGER?

I'm a very boring fool and I tend to repeat myself.

Boredom? Foolishness? Repetition?

These all seem too obvious. You wouldn't give away the answer like that. It's not a hint at that point.

I have five more ideas:
 - Exhaustion
 - Old Age
 - Madness
 - Chaos
 - Problems

I'm going to go with "riddle"

That's right! That was the same solution to another riddle I proposed some time ago :D

Harry calls me Tom.  :)
