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?

btw: all good questions.

Was the sign something visual? Would another man shoot his own wife if he came across this sign?

Sep-7-2006 20:38

Yes, the sign was something visual.
Yes, another man may shoot his own wife if he came across this sign.

*realizing he assumed something*

Were the man and woman married? Is the nature of their relationship relevant?

Serges: were the bicycles playing cards(brand name). the others found out he was cheating and killed him?

nice job bookem!

The man had been shot during a game of poker. One of his opponents noticed an ace sticking out of his sleeve, a fight broke out, and he was shot, crashing through the poker table and scattering the full deck of Bicycle playing cards, plus the extra ace.

Was the sign informative in any way? Persuasive?

Sep-8-2006 01:13

the fact that they were married is relevant huh? Would an unmarried man have reactes the same way?
