a man is dead in the middle of the desert.
he is completely naked except for his underware.
there is a toothpick next to him.
So how did he die?
the answer to this one is actually pretty long.
and I think you need to ask questions to get to the answer.
I would only answer yes or no to the questions.

umm pricked himself?
i have heard something like this one too only he is dead and he has a bookbag-like bad next to him and he is only half naked...
i do not know though
:confused:
I assume you mean yes/no questions? (thats not one of them, just explaning the format of the following questions :D)
was he murdered?
did the toothpick have anything to do with his death?
was anyone else involved in his death?
did he walk onto the desert?
if not, was he brought by someone else?
ha I guess there are many versions to the same thing.
and no he did not pricked himself.
he died of exhaustion and he was ssoo hungry he tried to pick the little food from his teeth

While the man could have died in a variety of ways, WHY he died is because he sacrificed himself after pulling the short straw. (toothpick)
????????????????????????
getting warmer, but your answer is only half right. (the toothpick part)Quote:

If he and a friend were in a hot-air balloon that was descending rapidly over the desert, even after all the sandbags had been dropped,and they removed thier clothes, the two of them would then have drawn straws to see who would jump, and he drew the short straw.
Bingo!Quote:

He was in a hot air ballon and he thought he would kill himself so he popped the ballon with the stick and as he was falling his clothes got ripped off due to the sheer speed he was falling?
It's a Desert. He died because he had no clothes on :)
magget---> the man was dead due to old age!
