Since I am not a produce inspector, I am not qualified to say that cob of corn covered with rot and mold has expired? You do not have to be a professional in any given specialty to be able to state the obvious with authority. If the coin was stamped "30 B.C.", then it is an obvious forgery, for the reason I stated in the first answer.

I'm sorry, but you are still wrong. Obvious answers do not require a specialist to confirm/deny.

It took me over a half hour to remember that the threads were merged.

I have two arms that keep a rhythmical pattern. I move when you want me to, but never when I am not needed. When the clouds cry I help cause less deaths because I let people see. What am I?

Windshield wipers

An umbrella, also works as an answer if you like to spin your umbrella, like I do. They have 2 arms, and usually another 4-6 arms.

Alternative Answer: A Seismograph

Many seismographs use the double arms, and they keep a rhythmic pattern. When you want to use it, you turn the power on, and turn it off when not needed. Rain is often linked to earthquakes and especially volcanoes, and a seismograph helps to avoid death by alerting people to the fact that there is movement in the earth.

(I know it's weak, but if you run over the logic REALLY fast, it works )

the maid, no corners in a round house to clean

[Khalee]

Current riddle:
There was a family living in an round house. There was a mother, a father, a daughter, a son, and a maid. When the son was murdered everyone was suspects. The father said that he did not kill the boy, he was fixing the car outside. The mother said that she did not kill the boy, she was washing the dishes and cleaning the bathroom. The daughter said that she did not kill the boy, she was in her room all day listening to music. The maid said i did not kill the boy, i was sweeping every corner of the house. Who killed the boy

OK, going for alternative answer again....

The boy stumbled in agony away from his sister's choice of Britney Spears & Lady Gaga, but was overpowered by the fumes of disinfectant his mother was using. Upon crawling into the garage, he found himself breathing in the noxious fumes of carbon monoxide from the car his father was fixing, and fell backwards into the house, only to fall over the maid who was futilely crawling around trying to find a corner in the round house... thereby cracking his head open.

Thus, all are responsible for the boy's death.

Yes?

Cracking his head open would still be the cause of death, thus the maid would still do it :PThere's a pretty easy alternate answer though
