What's the difference between a jeweler and a jailer?
=====

=====
I herald the darkness which descends on all creatures; You will know
my approach by moans and wracked features. I visit the hippo, hyena,
and horse, But never go near snails and spiders, of course. I would
circle the glove, leaping one to the other, Should all the world's
people ever clasp hands together. What am I?
=====
In spring I am gay in handsome array; in summer more clothing I wear;
when colder it grows I fling off my clothes; and in winter quite naked
appear. What am I?
=====
What kind of can never needs a can-opener?
=====
I am never the first to speak but I am always the last to be heard.
Who am I?
=====

=====

=====
Historical Teaser:
