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?

She died when she gave birth to the stranger...well I'm just too late aren't I, oops... Llolly, you're too smart... and I utterly despise you for that... you are Satanic...BURN...BURN...need some ice for that, BURN....???.......jk,lol:)Or, if Llolly's answer is wrong (after I merrily rejoice), could it be that the stranger had a key to the car?

A man has 3 clocks. they are all on the same wall in the same house with the same time on each. The man each day checks all his clocks on the same day, the 1st clock said 4:00, #2 4:05,#3 4:10, He walked away happy that his clocks were ALL right. How could this be???

Jun-26-2005 20:36

Any guesses?????????

Jun-26-2005 20:53

it takes five minutes to walk to each clock

Jun-27-2005 05:25

yes, i agree, the clocks are on a long wall, which takes a while to walk to.

Sorry to disappoint Madame Giry but Llolly was right. This isn't so much a riddle as a ice-breaker. List the numbers one to nine down a piece of paper. Next to no 1 and 3 write two boys names, next to 2 and 4 write names that could be either a girls or boys name, next to 5 write a colour, next to 6 write the name of an animal and next to 7, 8 and 9 write song titles. I will post tomorrow what the pattern should mean.

I went on ahead and typed out my list so you can reveal your pattern by using mine...that is if you want to. I can't wait to see how it turns out....hehe.
1. Jack
2. Chris
3. Tony
4. Alex
5. Red
6. Monkey
7. Jingle Bells
8. Love Me Tendor
9.

Oops, I forgot to type No. 9 which is, "Beat it"

Here's a couple of riddles before I go!

When air is still and water is calm
You will find me every place;
But come wind or falling rain
I go and hide without a trace:
You know doubt hate the tiny gifts
That I bestow each time I feed;
But as I give, I also take
For you contain the gift I need.
What?

A man walks into a pub & sits down at the bar and orders a glass of water. The bar tendor looks at the man, then he quickly pulls out a shotgun and points it at the man. The man says, "Thank you," then leaves the bar. Why did they behave this way?

I overlooked another one that's good, then I'll be back tomorrow and check the answers.

A man kills his wife, and many people watch him doing so. Yet, nobody will ever be able to accuse him of murder...........why?
