Answer:
Part carbon, part water, I am poison to the fishes. Many falsely claim my name, I am the pause that refreshes. What am I?
I am nature’s way of applauding lightning.
I can be hairy and itchy all over. I hang on a stick. I can be the scariest thing you have ever seen. I stand in the middle of nowhere.
I was not born but I am here. I have no name but I am given many. I was made by science and life
I hide in a dark tunnel awaiting my time. I can only be released by pulling back. Once released I may do unstoppable damage.
Break me and I am better immediately set and harder to be broken again.
