the REAL riddle

Oh, I am going to beat the salt out of that good-for-nothing scribe when I catch...oh, excuse me...another mistake has slipped into the errata, and so here is the ridle again, head to tail, CORRECTLY. Please read it carefully and attempt an answer: "I have no nerves, and yet I move, I have no breath, yet I'm alive, Body I have not, but still I can be seen, no weapon I bear, but I can hurt you. Now who am I, you know no doubt, but something else you must find out: who my parents are, for one is as old as the earth and another as old as the tree, and together they came giving birth to me."
