Riddle

@ Virtuosity [spoiler]Potato?[/spoiler]

This riddle is pretty easy but here it is: Joe stared right through the grimy dirty, soot filled window on the 22nd floor and, overcome with depression, opened it and jump right through it. Miraculously, Joe lived despite the fact that it was a sheer drop from the window to the street below(no cushions or parachutes). How did he live?

[spoiler=Votazap]It was the window of an elevator that had made its way to the first floor from the 22nd floor[/spoiler]

Answer to my riddle will be revealed tomorrow morning (British Summer Time).

[spoiler=Votazap]He lived in a valley. The building was adjacent to the hill. his 22nd floor was right above the street on the top of the hill.[/spoiler]

and Virtuosity, I don't want the answer!! Can you give us DIRECTION instead. Like if its physical, abstract. a body part, a food etc. Thanks!

@vituosity [spoiler]so it can be something hard like a shell or seed as in the seeds of doubt for the unknown[/spoiler]

OK BETA, I won't give answers yet. RIDDLE: I am a building block, used to construct larger things, yet of these very building blocks am I built. I have many shapes and sizes. I can be thick or thin. I can be any colour. I have no wings, yet I fly to far fields. I have no arms, yet I bear heavy burdens. I have no tongue, yet I tell of terrible ancient tales. I am sometimes deposited in various containers, but in these containers I reside for only a short time. In one of my forms, you will see me and recognise me. In another of my forms, you will see me without recognition. I am the unknown in another of my forms. In many of my forms, I have a brother, either older or younger. I can represent anything. During waking hours, you are seeing me nearly all of the time. I can be very comforting, but also very unpleasant. My arrival is often awaited, even when I am present in abundance. It's a hard riddle, but if you look hard enough at the wording you will see the answer. What am I? [spoiler=Clues]The answer has a dual meaning, both of which are nouns. Most of the statements in the riddle refer to the meaning which is NOT a physical object (as in, a non-tangible object - I would not call, for example "ray", a physical object), but some refer to a physical object. Both meanings are things that you use during normal day-to-day lives.[/spoiler]

any of these on the right track?[spoiler]My best guesses - SOLUTIONS and - WORDS Other guesses - -radiation. -puzzles. -place holders. -equations. -premises. -mysteries. [/spoiler]

Nope, no one got mine yet.(although some good ideas)

Votozap (duh!) [spoiler]He's a window washer. Man why did I not think of that sooner?[/spoiler]
