Was the match already burned?

Was his death an accident?

Was he killed?

Was he lighting a cigarette and a guy fell out of an airplane and the guy who fell out of the airplane didn't get his parachute open and land on the guy with the match?

Sorry for the last one.

You were trying to find my schedule? That cracked me up. We aren't that far off time zones, but you seem to be around in the mornings, I work more like a second shift and don't do mornings. I may be on here afternoons for a short time, but usually it's late into the evening, or very late after midnight, cause as everyone knows, I'm a vampire. (I wasn't on at all yesterday - very hectic day.)

Was the match already burned?

No.

Was his death an accident?

No.

Was he killed?

I assume you mean by someone else. No.

ROTFL! But that is rather creative.

Arg! Another thread which goes unnoticed by me!

Was the guy stung by a scorpion at night before he could get light and dropped the match? He tried to find the match, but the poison took over his body just before he got the match...

Did the man smoke?

Did the man have a kerosene lamp? Candle?

Did the man have something to rub the match to light it up?

Yea, I was trying to find your time zone and what times you were on at. I about figured it out. Anyway,

Did the guy commit suicide?

Did he pour a flammable liquid on himself?

Did he die from the fumes if so?

Wondered if you were just busy with homework again. Are you on the ff skin - you said there was some problem finding threads.

Interesting. No.

Did the man smoke?

Irrelevant.

Did the man have a kerosene lamp? Candle?

No.

Did the man have something to rub the match to light it up?

Irrelevant.

I've been avoiding these because they make my head spin, but I'll give it a go. :o

Does the match have anything to do with his death?

Did he die of natural causes? (ETA - just saw the "sorta" suicide)

There is no mention of a vehicle. Is there a car? Did someone drop him off and drive away? Did he walk or run into the desert?

You're confused. That's just the alcohol.

Does the match have anything to do with his death?

For anyone just joining, we're doing the question in post #19. I'll try to re-post it every time a new page pops up. (Since it's not in my original thread that's on every page.)

Just Looking · Sep 1, 2010, 02:35 PM

Ha - I wish it were the alcohol, but they frown on that at work. Go figure. :rolleyes:

Has the match been struck?

Did he fall from the sky? Such as from an airplane? Helicopter?

Did he arrive via water? For example, a flash flood?

These rude people we work for, expecting you to actually work and behave yourself, and all at the same time. I tell you...

Yes.

No.

No.

No.

morgaine300 · Sep 1, 2010, 06:42 PM

A man is lying dead, face down in the desert. There's a match near his outstretched hand.

morgaine300 · Sep 1, 2010, 06:53 PM

Ha. It just struck me. There's a Ngaio Marsh book called A Man Lay Dead.

Unknown008 · Sep 1, 2010, 10:29 PM

From a balloon?

Which he tried to light the thingamajig to make the balloon rise but failed to do so and fell down :p

Just Looking · Sep 1, 2010, 10:47 PM

They gave up on me behaving myself a long time ago, so they're fine as long as I don't drink. :cool:

I like Unky's suggestion - a hot-air balloon?

Fell off a witch's broom? (hah - I'm almost a poet.)

A glider?

A large bird? (What? It could happen. Be right back - have to freshen my drink.)

Wait - maybe it's Santa. A sleigh?

A UFO?

(PS - I just read a good one for the AMHD board. What two things in the air can make a girl pregnant?)

Well, that's not the answer I'm thinking of - it will make you blush. :eek:

PS - it doesn't have to be 2 things off my list above.

Still at a lost... a balloon with its 'driver' :confused:

Too easy.

No, and no you're not.

A glider?

No.

A large bird? (What? It could happen. Be right back - have to freshen my drink.)

Sure it could happen. I've seen it in cartoons. But I'll have what you're having.

Wait - maybe it's Santa. A sleigh?

Wrong time of year.

A UFO?

It was until Unky identified it.

(Am I going to be in trouble for hijacking this thread?)

Not if you give me some of what you're drinking.

Unky, it was totally unrelated to Morgaine's question. I will put the hidden answer here. I'm a little embarrassed now.

Her legs.

We should get back to Morgaine's puzzle. Why would he have a match that wasn't struck?

Was he planning to strike the match but something happened to stop him?

Was the match being used for some other reason than a match is normally used and that's why it wasn't lit?

Is it relevant that his arm was stretched out?

The match was near his stretched out arm. Was he reaching for it? Did he want to light it? Possibly to see something in the dark?
