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?

Well, in the beginning God created Man, then created all of the animals. Amoung them had to be the chickens, then the chicken laid eggs, so Adam and Eve could have eggs for breakfast.

Here's a simple one, then I quit.
I go from house to house but never come inside
I never eat or sleep and my bed is made outside

An easy way to understand the riddle and the answer is that an egg is defined NOT by where it came from, but what it contains. Hence a turtle egg is called a turtle egg because a turtle hatches from it, regardless of whether a turtle laid it or if it was a mutation from another species. Ergo (don't hear that word often anymore, lol), the egg came first. I'll leave you good people alone now :-)

Daru, I would say a sidewalk goes house to house, but never goes inside.
