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?

Sam slug and a few of the boys were playing cards, when Sam posed a question. "In an ordinary deck of playing cards, two of the jacks have 2 eyes and two of the jacks have 1 eye. How many eyes are there on the Jack cards?

There would be 12 eyes, because each card has two faces.

Correct MarcusAndrew. The answer is shadow.

Heres a new one

To speak with the dead I allow,
To learn their thoughts I permit.
Yet also fun can be found,
To inform and entertain is my remit.

What am I?

Well done Greyling. Books it is.
Looks like I'm better at solving riddles than writing them. Oh well try again.

"Tombstones standing proud
on a field of flesh.
A worm writhes out
from a dark cave"

What am I?

Yay - thanks, it was a bit of a stab in the dark, but turns out my woman's intuition was on the right track :D

As for the new one, can't quite get a mental picture of it, so won't venture a guess at the moment :)
