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?

what is the answer to the sequence one? I can't figure it out.

Yes ... I'm with R.Sweets on the canary one. That sounds like a jolly good answer to me : o )

Ben - brilliant! You're spot on with light bulb one. It usually takes people a while to get that.

So any last takers on the sequence ...

S - T - N - D - R - D - ? - ?

I'll give you a clue ... try pairing them, like so:

ST-ND-RD-??

(that makes it a bit easier)

OK sweets, now assume there is some sort of special bird feeder, that would solve the beak problem.

First, Second, Third, Fourth.

Blaise you are WRONG on mine, teehee.

wow jstkdn! way to go! :D i would have never figured that one out.

ok i have a couple.

1. What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?

2. What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, has a bed but never sleeps?

Okay, I think I know the answer to the canaries. Canaries need gravity to swallow(learned this in biology today), so they will not be able to swallow in space, like humans.

2.) river

I will post some riddles of my own tomorrow morning before class.

Here is one my friend gave me:

All about the house with his lady he dances. Yet he always works and never romances.
