Riddle me this. I am steel, yet still alive. I have emotions, yet I cannot feel. I have movement yet cannot move. I have a skeleton which is not my own. Who am I?
View Answer
An iron lung. (It's iron with carbon based life inside, making it an Iron-carbon alloy, thus steel; it keeps people alive; it provides alternating pressure, like emotional ups and downs; Its purpose is to move air through the body, but both device and patient are typically immobile; the skeleton inside is the patient's)
