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?

Jstkdn: That's a load of rubbish and I'm officially protesting. The bird-feeder was a far more sensible answer : o )

Just for that, you're wrong on the sequence - the answer was S-D. It's the word 'standardised' with the voweles removed, so : o P

:p Someone is being sore looser here? :) :)
Not only did someone with english as a second language get your sequence right. My riddle was so simple, that someone still going to school could solve it. Yes I am pretty impressed with R. Sweets!

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

The more you add me to a box, the lighter the box becomes. What am I? - Holes :)

There're two computer games I know ago which feature alot of riddles. I'll try to think of my own, but here's one from there:
You tie these things,
Before you go.
And untie them,
After you stop.

Good job Milady:)

I believe the answer to your riddle is shoelaces...

Got it in one :)

A pair of brothers sit next to a ridge that smells.
Never do they view each other save when seeing themselves.

I would think it is someone wearing glasses, that only see each other when looking in a mirror.

ok guys, i got a hard one, at least i thought it was, my upmost respect to the person who can figure this one out:
Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.
