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 depths of the Ocean?
What is the fires of Hell?
What is the deepest darkness?
And a Sci-Fi as well?

The answer is man, first as a baby we crawl, then we walk on two legs, and then with a walking stick when we are old.

1)A man while looking at a photograph said, "Brothers and sisters have I none. That man's father is my father's son." Who was the person in the photograph?
2)What happened in 1961 that will not happen again for over 4000 years?

ooh, I know one!
You are a weary traveller wandering a lonely forest path. You come to a fork in your path. One road leads to certain death the other to...oh let's say the land of chocolate, compliments and backrubs. Good things. At the point where they split there is a house inhabited by twin sisters, one of whom ALWAYS lies, while the other ALWAYS tells the truth. Both of them know which path leads to which fate.
You have no idea which sister is which, but you knock on the door anyways. You have a chance to ask just one question of whomever answers, to help you pick which path to choose.
What is that question?
