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?

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.

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.

"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?"
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*

The one word that bush, texans and other people cant pronounce is incorrectly. How do you pronounce it?
