Did he die from eating too much desSert?
This summation is in need of a small, but critical correction. Continue reading my post that answers questions for more detail:Originally Posted by yayi
Clues: The man was murdered. He was holding a light (less than 5 lbs) object (clue to his death). He had no survivor's tools. He died in the desert (not en route or dropped from the sky). There was small amount of blood.
Was he a blind man? And the object he was carrying was his cane?
Was he a victim of some bully who dropped him in the middle of the desert?

Did he try to grab the side of the basket when he fell? (is that how the straw ended up in his hand)
Noooo. Just me being silly because I can't figure out the real answer.Originally Posted by batgirl2good

I also like this answer to the riddle!Originally Posted by mrsd
It was a marriage experiment. He jumped out of a hot air balloon to see if he could survive while talking because his wife said he was full of hot air--even more hot air than the balloon!The straw was well, the last straw, to see if the marriage could work. It didn't. Most last straws don't... BUT she was proved wrong, he didn't have more hot air than a balloon. (She knew this all along. She wanted his insurance money.)
How has this saved lives? People go to marriage counselors instead of hot air balloons when their marriage needs saved. And the counselors have tons of money to feed their families and save them from starvation.
