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?

Does the sailor have a magic lamp on board?
Oh no wait, a sea monster or something gives him a lift or pushes his boat.
Is his name Jonah? Cuz may be he rode to shore in a lost whale's mouth....
I have no clue

"this one is kind of stupid but if you can guess it:
what is the one word that bush, texans, and many other people can't pronounce?"
Nuclear! Or should I say nukular.
So, he finds a piece of enriched uranium in his boat. He builds his own power plant and explodes his boat and kills himself.

Here is a riddle!
I saw Caesar with all his might.
I saw the Vikings with all their spite.
I saw Jesus and his happy face.
And yet Hitlar is in this place.
Where am I?
(clue: It is a REAL place and it is only ONE place.)

I would say Gaul/France.
Caesar conquered it, the Vikings raided it and took Normandy, it is filled with Christians, and Hitler invaded it.
If not, Germany. The reasons are almost the same.

Here's an easy one:

A bottomless barrel,
it's shaped like a hive.
It's filled with flesh,
and the flesh is alive!

Actually, no men have a missing rib unless they have it surgically removed.

Wow Horace your really smart! I never knew that! That wasnt my answer, but now I should mix up my people.

Apr-15-2006 18:56

Thanks! But I'm not smart, I just get really bored...a lot...

But that's what Wikipedia's good for, eh?

Well, my reasons weren't very good. Saying Hitler invaded it wasn't the best answer, but I guess it could be a possibilty. And Germany really doesn't work either. France is the only thing I can think of that works, but I'm not a riddle-type or lateral thinking type of person.

I am not good on this.

meh, if it was just Bush there, I woulda said 'democracy'.

Haha horace, seeing him say "nook-yoo-lur" remains a memorable, if frightening, moment. For what its worth, he also has trouble with 'subliminal'. Tends to come out as 'sublimin-able'.

*starts to comment, but decides to keep her mouth shut. Her anti-Bush feelings are just too strong for public posting.* *leaves as she wracks her brain for a riddle that hasn't already been posted*
