Another puzzle.

Hobbes

A man is found dead in his bedroom. He is lying slumped across a table in a pool of his blood. On the table there are three books. His bed is unmade but he is fully clothed. The room was locked from the inside, as was the window.

How did he die?

Illkillya

He stacked the books on the table, and stood on them and wrapped a wire which was hanging from the ceiling around his neck. then he kicked the books away, and was left hanging while the wire cut into his skin, cutting his throat and spilling his blood. eventually (the wire is so sharp) it cuts his head right off, and he falls onto the table.

Been there, done that,
and illkillya, what kind of dreams (or should i say nightmares) do u have.

Hobbes

You's aren't even trying. I'm very disappointed in the lot of you.

Illkillya

what, so i'm wrong!?
i forgot to take the unmade bed into account. here's my real answer:
The books were about raising demons, and he was trying to summon a succubus. He was getting the bed ready, when accidently, he summoned the wrong kind of demon. it was one of the little ones from Critters, and he tried to get away from it by climbing onto the table. Unfortunatly, the critter could jump very high, and it bit him in the neck, killing him. Then it disappeared.

was it a particularly nasty paper cut?

The way I see it is that he just fell in the window......locking it as he fell. He then got his head......a chicken and three ducks. With these he made a rather spiffing waldorf salad without of course the wallnuts, killing him....DEAD! that is all.

And with that I stand down as leader of this ancient and very sacred society. I just hope you will treat your new leader with as much love and respect as you have shown me. I bid thee farewell.
thank you

Actually I just made the whole thing up and I wanted to see if someone could come up with a plausbile explanation. Too clever by far it seems.

Wyverne

You all of course forgot to remember why he locked himself in the room.
well i'll tell yis.

he woke up that morning with an aching head, cause he'd been out all night. i mean it was the first time in 30 years that Ireland had Beaten the Pussies in Blue, so he had to go out.
but he made the one fatal error that no man should ever ever ever... make. and that was to forget his b1tches and his anniversaire.
woah man big mistake.
so anyway he arrives home at 4am in the morning. and lo and behold da b1tch is standin there in the hall.
so he starts thinkin, hey bit<h what u doing out here. u suppose to be in da kitchen waitin for me to come home and THEN cum home .
but... like all drunk men his vision had alot to be desired (he couldn't see a fu<king thing). so he didn't see the meat cleaver in da b!tches hand.

an'up da b1tch walked and started cuming on to him, u know lettin him tink dat all his dreams were CUMING true. ffs.
so next dey wuz in da bedroom, an' de man whipped out his weapon for a seeing to: BEFORE EVEN TAKING OFF ANY CLOTHES, HE JUS OPENED HIS ZIP, BUT DEN SUDDENLY da b1tch whipped out da meat cleaver nad just chopped off his fu<ing manhood,ffs feminism an all dat.
but dat wasn't all, den off she goes to get de shotgun. but she was gone too long, and ure man became concious again an' locked all de doors. den as quick as he could he got out all de medicaljournals he could find and started out trying to re-attach his little demon, or even jus stop the flow of =blood out of his hole(which was now where his FU<KING WEAPON SHOULDA BEEN).
but......... de damage wuz already done, an a few hours later he died cuz of loss of blood,

poor bolleeex, poor fu<king bolleeeex

And dat as dey say, is a rap.
