Here's one more, then I have to get some work done:

I come out of a magazine,
I fly too quickly to be seen
I make your points in presentations,
Or kill evil from other nations.

I'm thinking along the lines of a smell. But I'm not sure how that would make a point in a presentation. It fits the other parts though.

Nope, nothing to do with smell.

I was thinking propaganda, but that doesn't fit with the flying part, plus that's normally from pamphlets.

No idea here... seems a little too abstract.
Edit: nevermind... is it be a bullet?

I think this will be one that is real obvious when you know the answer. Hint: The first line is probably throwing you.

You got it. A magazine is a thing that holds bullets, and bullets are used in a document. Good job!

Yep, it's a bullet. Wrong magazine

Whats funny is that I only arrived to 'bullet' after interpreting the first line incorrectly.
I started thinking of parts of sentences (e.g. period) and related it to a presentation, then thought of a bullet...
Then I realized the tricky first line interpretation

Yes, as soon as he said to not get confused over the first line, the "other" type of magazine popped into my head and the rest fell into place. That riddle was more creative than mine. Mine is probably too easy.

C'mon dnetmhz, where are you? I want to post my (easy) riddle

Switchblade would work for the first half, but not really the second.

I guess people would be surprised to see a light saber, regardless of the situation

Good guesses, though

Here's the first part, more to be added if you don't get it:

The young ones want more and the old ones want less,
And after you have one you?ll clean up a mess,

An umbrella?


Yep, didn't think it would take long for people to guess after they extracted their minds from the gutter

If you saw someone with an open umbrella in broad daylight, you'd probably look at them strange. Some umbrellas have a button on the shaft to open them.

last time I saw someone pull out a switchblade it was suprising
if its umbrella then I'd argue that there can be sunny raining, in which case using an umbrella in broad daylight would not be suprising.

edit: Oh, I thought of the best answer.
