Oh, just a thought:

[hide] Could the first one be wind or something like that. [/hide]

First: There is a special forum for riddles like this: the What am I? (http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=what_am_i) forum. William will eventually get around to moving this thread there. You can save him additional trouble by posting any future riddles like this in that forum.

The first one is definitely [hide] a snowflake.[/hide]
The best I have come up with for the second riddle is [hide]a zipper[/hide], but it doesn't seem to match the first phrase very well.

Yah. My first guess was [hide]snow[/hide] but I'm hung up on the last one. I was thinking teeth on gears. Well Icarus it depends on what is in those teeth at the time..ouch!
