No!! It took a few minutes, actually, I really enjoyed it
I thought it was an insect at first.
The last two I made up on my own, if I have enough time I'll make up another:
Your fingers patter on me
I am connected to your machine
Now, seriously, that is dirt easy.

further comment on the upside down plane
Dear esp,
There are more solutions to the problem of the bombs not being released after the bombardier pressed the button. How about the plane being hit by german anti-aircraft fire and thus exploding just after the bombardier pressed the button. Now that is a high explosive solution, don't you think?
Here is a riddle,
Sometimes I have sense, sometimes I have none;
Sometimes I offend, then you bid me begone;
Sometimes I am merry, sometimes I am sad;
Sometimes I am good, sometimes very bad;
However, to make me, I cost many brains,
Much labour, much thought, and a great deal of pains.

No its not an AI computer program, not anything with computers. (A hint, the riddle is from a book from the 19th centuary)
esp, I cannot resist making one more comment about hte "bloody plane"
How could they spot their location on where to drop the bombs if the plane is upside down?
Why would the bombardier press the button if the plane was upside down? Surely, he would conclude that the bombs would not fall down!

Banshee,
Twigs and spheres and poles and plates, join and bind to reason make. What am I?
A dinning table? :bugeye:
Polux V,
Smiles or frowns, depends on your gaze
From nail to sphere I change my phase
Across the sky I silently creep
When I disapear howling wolves give not a peep.
The sun? :bugeye:
Yes, I'm sure it's the sun
per.son,
