Both are answered correctly!

Okay now:

1. The strongest chains will not bind it.
Ditch and rampart will not slow it down.
A thousand soldiers cannot beat it,
It can knock down trees with a single push.

2. Brothers make it rain,
Kingdom rivers crimson pain.

3. Today he is there to trip you up.
And he will torture you tomorrow.
Yet he is also there to ease the pain,
When you are lost in grief and sorrow.

#3 Was answered the way that it is in the book.  However, 1 and 2 are only close but not quite there.

Well, great answers everyone.  I never realized just how broad the answer could be.  The one I was thinking of was "N.M.E." which if spoken out loud gets "Enemy."

Okay, going back to the other way I was doing this:

An untiring servant it is,
Carrying loads across muddy earth.
But one thing that cannot be forced,
Is a return to the place of its birth.

With sharp edged wit,
And pointed poise,
It can settle disputes,
Without a noise.

Power enough to smash ships and crush roofs.
Yet it still must fear the sun.

These three letters represent the one you never want to meet.

Yes, you got it.

Okay to help rekindle interest here's one just for fun.  There's no actual answer to the riddle but I'd like to see what people say about it.  Bill Watterson's popular character was the first to ask this riddle and it was this:

"What's the difference between a garden slug and a two-inch long living booger?"

Can't solve the riddle but here's one from me:

Gee, I should go on a quest to change it to this:

To answer the riddle, I think it's precipitation.  Water going up and snow going down.

Now here's one that may re-kindle interest.  This isn't so much a riddle as a puzzle but translate this to more understandable terms:

"The female contributor of the deoxyribonucleic acid of my biological genetic makeup was quite the well pleased member of the following base of your suburban life partner's melodious orations."

Hint: This is being spoken to a man.

It's been YEARS since I've seen this show.  However, I remember one episode where the fat cat in Riff Raff's team made a giant robot out of the Junkyard trash.  He used it to drive off a gang of cats using the junkyard equipment.

As for Heathcliff, he usually had to catch mice but didn't like to do so.  His favorite activity was beating up on the dog next door.  As for game quality, I'd say that it would be best if he has to deal with stopping a burglar.  There was an episode where he was sent to a shrink and listened to everything he said which allowed a burglar to get away with stealing from the house until he came across Spike.  The burglar kicked Spike which got Heathcliff angry as he said, "No one gets to do that to Spike but me!"

A chicken farmer comes home with a new stud rooster.  When the rooster is released he goes to the old stud rooster and tells him, "Outta here pops!  I'm the cock of the walk now!"  "Are you sure you can handle all these hens?" asked the old rooster, "Just look at what they did to me!"  "I can handle it!" boasted the young rooster, "You're a fossil and I'm better then you ever were!"  "Is that so?" asked the old rooster, "Then I propose a challenge.  We race around the barn.  Whoever manages to win the race is the stud around here.  Deal?"  "Ha!" crowed the young rooster, "That won't be a problem!  In fact, I'll give you a head start!"  So the roosters go to the side of the barn and the old rooster starts running.  When he has nearly reached the corner of the barn the young rooster starts running.  The two run around the corner and the young rooster starts to catch up.  They turn the corner again and are now in view of the farmer.  The farmer grabs his shotgun and blasts the young rooster away!  "Darn!" shouts the farmer, "That's the third gay rooster I've purchased this week!"

You got it.

Close but no.

Here's a riddle that I heard from a show:

If a farmer gave 17 cents to one son, and 8 cents to his other son, what time would it be?

I'd say... A well.

Yes, she was burned at the stake.  Generally, when people are burned to death they're known to have been fried.

Okay, it seems that I've stumped everyone with this one the answer is:

Spoiler

Joan of Arc (French Fries)

Guess "Burger King" would have probably been too obvious...

Yes.  THIS historical figure tends to show up in pretty much EVERY burger joint out there.  And to help this along a little...

Spoiler

she happens to be found in fish eateries too.

Nope. This historical leader was not a king.  Good try though.

Hint 1:

Spoiler

This was a real historical figure and a specific one.

[close]

Hint 2:

Spoiler

By the prerequisite of being a king this figure could never have been one.

Hint 3:

Spoiler

Red, White, and Blue

[close]

No, it's not any of those.  This may be a difficult one since the term is a pun on a primarily American-used term.

In case no one realized it, "Historical leader commonly found in burger joints," is the riddle.
No one cares to even hazard a guess?

Yes, pets was right.

Historical leader commonly found in burger joints.
