I cannot be felt, seen or touched;
Yet I can be found in everybody;
My existence is always in debate;
Yet I have my own style of music.
What Am I?
A man takes a barrel that weighs 20 pounds, and then puts something in it. It now weighs less than 20 pounds.
What did he put in the barrel?
What has six faces,
But does not wear makeup.
It also has twenty-one eyes,
But cannot see?

A roof at the bottom,

My lightning comes before the clouds;
My rain dries all the land it touches.
What am I?
