Riddle me this...
I post a riddle, someone solves it, then they post a riddle, so on and so forth. Dont assume you got the answer correct and post your riddle before the riddler says whether you got it right or wrong first.
I have touched every corner of this planet I can blind you, confuse you I can touch you, cover you What am I?

I have a wife
What am I?

yes to mine, no to Modest's
mom and wow are different if theyre read upside down, its 2 different words. "Read" is still "read" no matter which way you read it. Your not changing the word, just the way you look at it.
I was wrong! Shame on me. I assumed I had it right

Oh yeah - I know, but the riddle didn't say that the word had to be the same, and read isn't a word when it's upside down... Oh well. Hmmm, I'll be back with a riddle shortly

A woman has 7 children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible?

All of them are boys. Did I get that one right?
And about 'read' one. The word will always be 'read' unless you move around the letters or add or subtract letters.
still be (the word) "read" from...
I dont think Im doing a very good job of explaining

It's cool, sometimes I don't do a very good job of understanding,
Anyhoo - You are correct, good sir! The baton now passes to you.

Your in a square house. Each wall has a window, and all the windows are facing south. A bear walks by the house, what color is he?
I think most people know this one by now.

Unfortunately I don't know that one... but here's one that I think is good.
Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?
