Never trust a smiling pirate.  :D

I can do that because I'm awesome.

"It really gets up my nose when publishers call my book another Lord of the Rings. It's my bloody book! I wrote it. And another thing, I didn't have to plunder Norse and European mythology to do it!" - Brian Jacques.

This one's easy, but I really only answered for the satisfaction of being right so...

What has four eyes, a mouth and a bed?

"Understood." Will looked at Nico. "Will you be my buddy?"

My First is in the middle of my second,
If each line is self-contained, this means that the middle of the second word is what you want, making it R.
My second is in the beginning of my third,
Similarly, the beginning of the third word in this line is I.
My third Is the beginning of the day and the ending of the dead,
This one is clearly D.
My fourth is the turned lower case of the beginning of beginning,
If you flip b horizontally, it becomes a lowercase D.
My second to last is the beginning of my fourth,
Fourth word is last, so the letter is L.
My last is in everything but ending it is she,
The end of she is E. E is also in everything. It could also be a play on the fact that E is the most common letter in the English language and thus is 'in everything.'
Oh who am I and if this proves to hard,

Simply ask yourself, "What It Is?"
This was written for a riddle competition, so what it is is a riddle.

Oh, cool, that as a lucky guess.

Hmm. Oh! I know!

A farmer was going to town with a fox, a goose and a sack of corn. When he came to a stream, he had to cross in a tiny boat, and could only take across one thing at a time. However, if he left the fox alone with the goose, the fox would eat the goose, and if he left the goose alone with the corn, the goose would eat the corn. How does he get them all safely over the stream?

Take the fox, then the corn, then the goose?

Send the corn and the goose across, then send the fox and himself across!
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

1. Take the goose across.
2. Return.
3. Take the corn across, and pick the goose up.
4. Return.
5. Drop off the goose and take the fox across.
6. Return.
7. Take the goose across.

All three items should now be over the stream.

Nope, that leaves the corn and goose unattended. ;)

It's a tiny boat, Del, that can only take one extra thing across at a time. :) And that stills leaves the corn and the goose together.
