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?

the bar and the glass of water- I remember some riddle about a man needing a glass of water for his hiccups but when I googled it I got some man asks for two shots so the bartender shoots him. Sounds like a combination of the two riddles!
Am i even close??

I think the answer to #1 is that ball was made of frozen mercury (a metal) which melted and and fell through the funnel.

I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will,
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I?

My thunder comes before the lightning;
My lightning comes before the clouds;
My rain dries all the land it touches.
What am I?
