    I run, though I have no legs to be seen. I possess no heat, yet I do have steam. I have no voice to let words out, but from far away you can still hear me shout. What am I?

    Not sure if this fits, but is it a train?
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    A word I know, six letters it contains. Subtract just one, and twelve is what remains.

    A computer? A computer runs, runs the program steam(although does contain heat) And it doesnt talk but you can hear it?

    It could be many things. But I wonder, is it a waterfall? Because it produces mist, not steam. I think those are two different things.

    Try this one on for size. It's fairly easy

    I am sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but I am nobody’s fool. For there is no language that I cannot speak, though I never went to school. What am I?
