5 minutes to 8 o clock

[LionofRome]

uhm... 5 past 4?

[Galahad]

Correct! Well done!

(My apologies: I deleted my initial reply to your first answer.)

[LionofRome]

Thank goodness for a pen and paper lol. Who's next?

[Galahad]

Since you answered correctly, you may have another turn. Or, you can give your turn to someone else.

[LionofRome]

I thought something weird was happening hehe.

[LionofRome]

Ok uhm...

I have been tickled many times, through many years, by many hands. While alone I am stagnant and lose my taut manners, I make passions rise when handled often and correctly.

What am I?

[Leeward]

Sorry, I couldn't resist. My actual guess is money.

[LionofRome]

Oh well done. but no that's not it. The answer is nothing to do with the body this time, except for the hands involved hehe.

[Cape_F0X]

A Harp.

[LionofRome]

Close, but not just yet

[Leeward]

Violin? Guitar? Some other string instrument?

[LionofRome]

What other instrument has strings and is often tickled? I know this will give it away.

[Contrast]

The heart?

[Leeward]

A ukulele? A piano?

[LionofRome]

We have a winner. Piano

[Galahad]

I think we know how deep Leeward's mind is in the gutter. It may need scuba-diving gear.

[LionofRome]

It's a common ailment lol

[Leeward]

Who, me? Mind in the gutter? Naaaaah, can't be... I can't think of any clever riddles so I'll just make up a silly one.

I have two parts. The first has needles that don't sew, and the second belongs to Adam, but also sometimes to crabs. What am I?

[LionofRome]

Some sort of plant?

[Leeward]

Yes.

[LionofRome]

fig leaves?

[Leeward]

Nope.

[LionofRome]

Apples?

[LionofRome]

no that's wrong...

[Contrast]

Pineapple! Because "needles that don't sew" are pine needles, and the second part comes from "Adam's apple" and "crab apple".

[LionofRome]

Well done!

[Leeward]

We have a winner! Pineapple is the correct answer.

This one is from a certain yellow book many of you might have come across in your travels.

A Bosmer was slain. The Altmer claims the Dunmer is guilty. The Dunmer says the Khajiit did it. The Orc swears he didn't kill the Bosmer. The Khajiit says the Dunmer is lying. If only one of these speaks the truth, who killed the Bosmer?

[LionofRome]

The orc?
