It's so old I can't remember where I first heard it!

You can see me in water, but I never get wet. What am I?

Just realised I forgot about this one... I think I know what it is too.

At what point will someone divulge some answers? We may think we know, but verification would be good!

Well, my one — "What becomes harder to catch the more you run?" — is, of course, "your breath"!

I wouldn't mind hearing answers to some of the others as well and finding out if my guesses were right...

Then there's a somewhat different kind of riddle:

Why did the viper viper nose?

Because the adder adder 'andkerchief!

There's only one answer to that - Oh, blow!

'Snot funny.

A REFLECTION

FORGOT THIS ONE:

Eddie Muir wrote: What gets wetter the longer It is left out in the sun?

Answer: ICE

Hooray, I was right with all of them!

Well done, Courtenay.

Well, I'd heard the postage stamp one before, but the others took a bit of thinking.

Answer: ICE

I thought of ice but wasn't sure about it because if you leave it long enough it will stop getting wetter and dry up. On the other hand, you could say that by the time it starts to dry up it is no longer ice, but water.

Well, I was wrong then. I thought of human body because of sweating!
