Yes, it totally is! I don't know what I was cross-referencing in my head. 12 is nothing but a dozen, as far as I know. In my defense, I've been getting about 5 hours of sleep every night since school started. I am embarrasingly fried.

Today's carry over riddle is:

Quote:

Flags and burning flame
sweaty effort for new bling
running in circles

Clue: may coincide with the end of the world.

and from easy to hard, as I see them:

Orbs wrapped in silk
a crown, a ring, not for her
stole her sister's show

Huge nasal niggle,
rearranged; self describing
you're looking at it.

Seventy two quarters
one hundred and twenty four quarters
one hundred and twenty eight quarters

(I gladly admit
that last is not a haiku
still a riddle tho.)

Peanut Butter heroics WTF?

Ok, the Bolshoi ballet were touring in South Africa and one of the dancers had to be rushed to hospital with anaphylactic shock caused by a peanut allergy.
