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?

Three Riddles
1)Alive without breathe
Cold as Death
never thirsty, ever drinking
All in mail, never clinking.
What am I?

2) I am as tall as a castle
but as light as the air.
yet 110 men cannot pick me up.
What am I?

3) I am a six letter word of the english language. When I am written in lower case I am easy to pronounce, yet I am impossible to pronounce if I am written in upper case. What word am I? Hint: Griswold knows the answer.

Mad One, I know #1 so won't guess. As for the others......

Feb-20-2005 17:46

Mad One, no idea on #1 or #3.

#2 - a large column of fire?

Feb-20-2005 23:35

1) ice
2) fire
3) ?

1) fish
2) shadow of castle
3) polish/Polish (appologies to all Polish speakers)

Feb-21-2005 12:52

Ohhh, I thought the whole word had to be written in uppercase?

Great answer to #2, Geddes!

Feb-24-2005 20:53

Geddes is right for all three. Well done.
