Riddle Me This, Riddle Me That

[Fresh Tendrils]

I remember when Jazz was still around OS, he would do either a weekly or daily Riddle for everyone here. Usually, they were really fun.

Anyway, does anybody have any good ones they would like to share?

Decapitate me and all becomes equal. Then truncate me and I become second. Cut me front and back and I become two less than I started.

What am I?

Although they all end the same, you don't pronounce them the same way?

Pretty much, they all end the same yet none of them rhyme.

Heres another....

Shadow heard that Mr. Shady had drawn up a detailed plan to rob a local bank. He brought Shady in for questioning, and naturally Shady was struck with one of his memory lapses. Shady denied the existence of such a plan at first, but finally broke down and agreed to tell the truth. Shady said he thought he was being tailed, so he ducked into the local library and hid his plan in a book. He said he was certain it was between pages 125 and 126, but he had been so intent on committing those numbers to memory that he had forgotten the name of the book. "It's obvious you're lying," said Shadow.

What was wrong with Shady's explanation?

Pages 125 and 126 lie on the same piece of paper, there is no page between them.
