Ok Ewood, et al.
A man is dead. By his side there's a walking stick, and a pile of wood shavings.
Why (NOT how) is he dead? You may ask yes or no questions :)
But please, if anyone knows this one already, please let's not spoil it for anyone who wants to play :)
And apologies for hijacking Ab for playing games with, but I'm at home today, and bored, and it IS a question ;)

Can anybody tell me the meaning of this?

Hey PaulB. I like you. You say nice things about me :)

But no, he didn't. See Ewood27's response to that riddle, and you'll probably get it. This is one is WAY more devious though

DirtyEgg: The actual physical cause of his death is irrelevant.
Coggles: Nope, sorry. All limbs intact, and no animals involved.

He is dead because his brain was starved of oxygen. That is why he is dead.

PaulB

Errr, anyone else hear Tumbleweeds? :oP

Ewood27

I think he's a young blade who's fallen out of a plane.
As for the stick, one holds on to good staff till the very end.
