You can have me but cannot hold me;
Gain me and quickly lose me.
If treated with care I can be great,
And if betrayed I will break.
What am I?


here's a clue to figuring out riddles in general: word associations are important in a LOT of riddles.
associative word combinations.

for this one, i'd say, what can you both "break" and "gain".

I want to say time...but I wont 'cos it's not right.

You can have time...but you can't hold it.
You can seem to gain time and I've definately lost time on many occasions.
You can have a great time.
But you can't break time...which is a bloody nuisance.

I suck!

Gollum would've torn me limb from limb.

I could break the arch of time...and set Foul on your smug-self, The Esmah. |R :twisted:

Just out of interest did you geuss it using your much vaunted brain power or did you cheat like a low-down mangey dog?

Edit: I just cheated. Yes, I am a low-down mangey dog.

I was disqualified due to direct access to Lucimay's brain! which is the only way I can see that I would've known the answer even before I finished reading it..... ;)
