:) Go Anime!

 

I'm often seen around a lot, referred to many ways,

See me black and you may find misfortune haunts your days.

Tell a thing, that should have been kept quiet, to all around,

Then look inside the sack, there I'm no longer to be found.

Nosiness, prying, snooping, leaves me fearing, full of dread,

For all these things are likely to see me soon lying dead.

These clues combined should start to give a picture, an idea,

Of who or what I am, so can you tell me? Is it clear?

*grumbles* I knew that one was way too easy.

You so won't get this straight away.

I'm full of keys whenever I'm made

I came about wooden when the Renaissance played

 

Hundreds of years later, I was divided

And two new keys to me were provided

 

Then in 1760, and that's forty years later

Three keys were added by Florio, Gedney, and Potter

 

Around the 80's of the century mentioned

I was used by Mozart and Haydn

 

Over the years, new keys were gained

In the 1830's, Beethoven used me to entertain

 

Near the end of the 1800's, or the 19th century

I was used by Brahms, Strauss, and Tchaikovsky

 

Now, modern renditions are made of me

Without my holes, I wouldn't be

 

What am I?

Neither do I. But I don't really like spending alot of time on things. I have a very short attention spa - Oh look, a birdie! xD

 

Bob was having a big party. He decided on a technique to get lots of people to come. He invited his five closest friends and said that they could each invite 4 people.

 

Each of those could invite 3.

Each of those could invite 2.

Each of those could invite 1.

 

Overall, how many people did Bob invite to his party? -This is a trick teaser.

Yeah, I am, but if you want you can post em. o_O Here's another one!

I with borrowed silver shine,

What you see is none of mine.

First I show you but a quarter,

like the bow that guards the Tartar;

Then the half, and then the whole,

ever dancing around the pole;

And true it is, I chiefly owe

my beauty to the shades below.

 

Who am I?
