[Caesar]

Wait a minute.. Did I get any points for the one with the room?

Never mind, I guess. It was disallowed.

[Lord Shonus]

Riddle is open.

Spoiler: Riddlesness (click to show/hide)

Sharper than scissors, yet does not cut
Everyone has one, but may not use it
High in priority, but low in understanding
I control all, yet not all at once

Not to hard, who wants a shot?

[Kashyyk]

Damn it. Ninja'd.

Spoiler: answer (click to show/hide)

The Mind

Sharper than scissors, yet does not cut --- Minds can be sharp and quickwitted, but not literally sharp.
Everyone has one, but may not use it --- Some people do seem to not use their brains at all
High in priority, but low in understanding --- You need to live, but no one really knows how it works.
I control all, yet not all at once --- It controls everything in the body.

[mission0]

I was actually thinking of the physical brain but the mind is the same thing more or less. I need to become craftier.

[Kashyyk]

Right. I hope I haven't been too obscure with this one.

Many things I can show,
Fiery stars, or winter's snow,
Fun and games or cars and trains,
A universe of things to know.

I am a house, a hold, a tome,
For those things that call me home.
Stored are they, simplistically,
But when generated are shown majestically.

Few things I need to show my worth,
Food, unlike any on this earth.
I need a path truth be told,
To show you those things I cannot hold.

Without my list I am just,
A meld of steel and plastic rust.
But if you give what I need,
A wealth for you to hear and see.

Easy. A computer. Or a moniter.

Many things I can show,
Fiery stars, or winter's snow,
Fun and games or cars and trains,
A universe of things to know. --Literal

I am a house, a hold, a tome,
For those things that call me home. --Storage. ("I am a house... For those things that call me home" ..?)
Stored are they, simplistically, --The 0s and 1s are fairly simple
But when generated are shown majestically. --Literal

Few things I need to show my worth,
Food, unlike any on this earth. --Electricity
I need a path truth be told, --Cable (connect moniter/computer)
To show you those things I cannot hold. --This makes me think more of a computer moniter; the things are CDs, flash drives, etc

Without my list I am just,
A meld of steel and plastic rust. --Literal
But if you give what I need,
A wealth for you to hear and see. --Literal

[Kashyyk]

Yep, a monitor.

[RedWarrior0]

Which means I need to come up with a riddle now.

Hint for makers: don't use too many literal clues.

[Kashyyk]

Yes, I noticed that.

[Lord Shonus]

That was quick. 50 points to Kashyyk and RedWarrior0.

[RedWarrior0]

Also, I'm yielding my riddlemaking opportunity. I'm bad at making them up.

[Blargityblarg]

Shall I take the free riddle, then?

A barrier placed 'tween stool and stone
for rest of weary back and bone
Mirth of child, aim of man
Target of downsizing plans.

[Lord Shonus]

A cushion?
A barrier placed 'tween stool and stone - cushions go between two different materials
for rest of weary back and bone - makes sitting more comfortable
Mirth of child, aim of man - Children use a toy called a "whoopee cushion" for practical jokes, an adult wants a comfortable place to rest
Target of downsizing plans. -you sit on it

[Blargityblarg]

Close, and it fits the clues about as rigidly as my actual answer does, but no cigar.
