Riddle me this!

[blue_grapefruit]

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial] I can sizzle like bacon,
I am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg,
I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,
I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole,
What am I?[/FONT]

A snake!

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial] This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching![/FONT]

Lipogram is a sentence which omits a certain letter, like this one doesn't have an 'e'.

That was dead hard!!

Oh I see...Yep you're right (and I now know what it's called! Woohoo!).

[FONT=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial] You are on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in a remote part of the country and there has never been a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.

Every day a tractor and wagon gives hay rides around the island. Puzzled as to how the tractor had gotten onto the island, you ask around and find out that the tractor was not transported to the island by boat or by air. Nor was it built on the island.

Explain how the tractor got there?[/FONT]

Hahaha! TBH I only got it because BG said about the lipogram, I sat there reading it thinking there must be clues somewhere in there! I even tried reading it backwards too

I am a bit speshul though!
