That would be a pool/billiard/snooker table, yes?

Yeah, I guess that one was too easy!
Try this one, it's a little bit harder:
Almost everyone sees me without noticing me for what is beyond is what he or she seeks. What am I?

Nope. But a nice try!
Here's a hint, within another riddle:
Be you ever so quick with vision keen by your eyes we are never seen. Unless perchance it should come to pass you see our reflection in a looking glass. What are we?

Yep!
Ok Sherlock, see if you can solve this riddle:
Romeo and Juliet are found lying dead on the floor. Around them are pieces of broken glass and a pool of water. The room has no windows and no furniture with just a bed and a shelf with no books, and the door was locked from the inside. The shack in which they're found is in the middle of nowhere close to some railway tracks.
How were they killed?

I've seen this one before .... just trying to remember the answer...
(Thinking aloud) - There is something about Romeo and Juliet - we assume they're human, but... they're fish, right? So they were killed because someone knocked over the fish bowl? Hence the water and broken glass - although i'm not sure about the other descriptions.
(Something like that maybe....)

(I'ts likely that a freight train shook the shelf)
You're too good for me StevieG! Those were the best riddles I had.
I will now go in search of the Holy Riddle - the 'hard core' of all riddles.

OK, this one is kinda hard ...won't say where I got it from, don't say if you know [till it's answered]...
A Texas cattleman is dying, has 3 sons, doesn't want to split the property. Tells the sons "You get it all together...but you have to give the place a new name once I'm gone."
What did the sons name the ranch and why?

I say the sons named the ranch "Trinity", because the three of them are intertwined together in their ownership of the ranch, and because the ranch is bordered by the Trinity River in southeastern Texas, flowing into Galveston Bay.
If anybody's got a better answer than that, let's hear it!
