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?

There's a pressure point just above the nape of the neck that, once pushed, is supposed to knock a person out for twenty minutes. Combined with the dream, her body could truly have believed that her head had been chopped off.

Nop sorry.

Actually, pushing won't do it. But a good chop like movement with the side of your hand would do it, I've never seen anyone out over this for 20 minutes though.

I don't think chickens are killed by decapitation in industrial farms. Aren't their necks wrung by a machine? Anyway, they certainly wouldn't be caught by hand.

Oh dear. In that case, jstkdn, please forget everything I said in my earlier post.
S.A. ... (Shudder.)

Uh... did Mr. Shady walk across a carpet beforehand?

But the chicken could be dying any old way in her dream! Her dream wouldn't have to be accurate and true-to-life, would it?

No, I was wrong, the two most common methods are slicing their throats or suffocating by gas.

Okay, so my best guess is that you have to be awake to experience shock? Or something? And good thought about the carpet, Majandra!

Thanks, Dr. M!
S.A. ... As Opus the Penguin might say, "thfppt."

Before I forget, here's a replay of the one I may have worded improperly:

I have billions of eyes, yet I live in darkness. I have millions of ears, yet only four lobes. I have no muscles, yet I move two hemispheres. What am I?
