I shave every day, but my beard stays the same. What am I?

I welcome the day with a show of light, I stealthily came here in the night. I bathe the earthy stuff at dawn, But by noon, alas! I'm gone.

When you say goodbye, I am what you need to tie.
I come as a couple and go wherever you run.
Who am I?

I add 5 to 9 and get 2. The answer is correct, so what am I?

What is full of holes but still holds water?

I am an eight letter word and I am a computer terminology.
The second, third and fourth letters make an animal.
The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth letters make a weapon.
The first, second, third and fourth letters can be taken as an outcome of any exam.
The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth letter combine to form a high end typing software.

Can you tell who am I ?

As a whole I am both
safe and secure.

Behead me and I become
a place of meeting.

Behead me again and I am
the partner of ready.

Restore me, and I become
the domain of beasts.

What am I?

A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first. What am I?

When it is alive we sing, when it is dead we clap our hands. What is it?

A father's child, a mother's child, yet no one's son.

Who am I?
