Q. What is made of wood but can't be sawed ?
A. Sawdust. It's still made up of wood, but a saw will be of no use.
Q. I am a five-letter word and am feared by most but experienced by all. If you remove my first and last letters I bring life. If you add an 'r' between the third and fourth letters I am almost nothing and if you remove the first letter from this new word, I am your home. What am I ?
A. Death (eat, dearth, earth). No one can escape death, but many fear it. Removing the first and last letters leaves eat, and we must eat to stay alive. Adding the 'r' turns death into dearth, which is scarcity and removing the first letter of dearth leaves earth, where you live, assuming this riddle hasn't reached extraterrestrials.
