Ribs

You are born with them, but you don't really use them, and people eat ribs for dinner and such.
 
Riddle #27:

You have a 5-gallon container and a 3-gallon container. Using only these two things, can you measure 4-gallons of water and how?
 
Oh god, I need to watch Die Hard 3 again...gotta remember this!
 
Well I knew it had to do with averages. (3+5)/2 = 4, which translates to (3/2) + (5/2) = 4, which again translates to 1.5 + 2.5 = 4.
 
ive seen die hard 3 like 10 times and I still cant understand how the hell they do that
 
But you can't be sure you've filled them exactly half-full.
Ah ******ed lol. Fine, here:

Fill the 5-gallon container completely full, then pour enough water into the 3 gallon container to fill it. Do this twice.

EDIT: Wait...damnit. lol

empty the 5. pour in 1.
