Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Yep. Both of you are right. Checkmate Persian for "the King is ambushed," helpless, defeated, or dead. Bishop = Priest
Sevant = Pawns
Oh, and the answer to yours is either a cough or a remark.

I am just a lowly thing, object of much derision,
I am odd because I multiply by division.

Either a paramecium, bacterium, or some other microscopic orginism.

Either way, a germ.

Soft as a petal that falls from a tree the more I dry the wetter I'll be. What am I?
