What goes up and down stairs without moving?
Carpet
Give it food and it will live; give it water and it will die.

Take one out and scratch my head, I am now black but once was red.
A match
Remove the outside, cook the inside, eat the outside, throw away the inside.
Corn
What goes around the world and stays in a corner?

Only two backbones and thousands of ribs.
