Dunno, I'm completely lost and just guessing.

Pomegranate?
It can be neither seen nor felt, nor will it fit in any container. It hasn't stopped moving since the beginning of the universe, and it won't ever stop moving. It is the most valuable commodity in the universe, but it cannot be sold or traded, and you can never have any more than you have right now, only less. What is it?

Awesome. I knew someone
here would get it. I made that one up myself. It has managed to stump a few relatively smart people.

Well, since we're now riddle-less, I'll throw up another one:
How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25?

Umm...
Mathematically: 5
According to my little brother: 1 (just as 2+2=22)
After asking a friend who likes philosophy: infinite? (I'm gonna avoid posting his two-hour explination.)
There may be another answer, but these are my guesses.

As many times as you want, if you go into negative numbers.

Your little brother is correct.
You can only subtract 5 from 25 once. After that, you'll be subtracting 5 from 20, 15, 10, etc.

I'm not telling him that.
I was wondering, how many (clean) answers can we come up with for:
What's black and white and red all over.
without repeating (ie several sunburned black and white animals).
I'll start: A sunburned Zebra.

Well, that was more of a trick question, so I didn't expect anyone to get it.
What's black and white and red all over.
A nun who's after being beaten with a baseball bat.
