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?

Just a guess: is it a rainbow?

Very, Very hard one here:

I sustain, and I destroy, at the same time. I give the least to my smallest, and the most to the other smallest. I give life, and cause death. I control, and am the head, and my wrath is terrible for those who get too close. What am I?

Hint: I'm not God.

No, no one has guessed it yet.

For Anthony's, I was going to guess fire, but I think that's wrong. Parn's sun sounds more correct. I don't know...

I think Anthony's is probably the sun, too.

Talianna: infinity? Or, if we're just playing color games, can I be the first to guess 'brown hole'?

sorry crunchpatty, not infinity, though the answer is usually a metaphor for infinity.

And it comes in *many* colors! But brown isn't one of them. In fact, I'll give you a clue: the colors it comes in happen to be, scientifically, the colors of light, or aka the rainbow.

That probably didn't make much sense.

Anyway.... I'm starting to think this riddle is WAY to vague... ah well, maybe someone'll guess it

Nope, sorry ctown28

I guess normally you wouldn't think that this answer comes in all the colors of the rainbow, but scientifically it does. There are some in between colors as well...



Hint:





Pink! Heh, did that even do anything?

Anthony, I change my answer. I didn't understand the "smallest" and other smallest. Pluto & Mercury. So the answer is the sun for sure.
My final answer ;)
