well, Alex is the riddle Master, so I decided to be the riddle Mistress,heh;)
A dead man's naked body is lying in the desert. Nearby is a heap of clothes. There is a straw in the hand of the dead man. Explain how this situation arose.

sooo easy smuggy, nice try he died of thirst, because of the heat he took his clothes off, which explains the bundle the reason for the straw is because there was most likely a cr*ck in the ground with an underground water spring and he was desperatly trying to get to the water with the straw but couldnt quite reach and died of thirst

hmmm well theres only one other answer it can logically be... in the desert there is sand, perhaps he was walking through the desert and fell into some quicksand in which was slowly dragging him down, he took off his clothes to cut down on the weight and stop him being dragged down but soon he was below head level in it and used the straw to breath his last ounches of air through it , man im just so good, im hot... hot i tells ya , lol

has it something to do with "out of the air" and are their more clothes than for one person on the pile ?
-and is the "weight-factor" or even the "drawing straw" factor right ?
/me was just talking about wild theories with alex, lol ;D

gotcha.. lies !! i know that you get balloons for exams in clown college (a yellow one equals an 'A', a blue one 'B' etc)
...hahahaaaa ! was inspired while posting ^^^that^^^^ lol ;D
..so they were in a balloon (they use starw to control their height) ..were sinking, had to get rid of weight, threw all their clothes out of the balloon when they nearly touched the ground but it wasn t enough so they draw straw who has to jump and who can try to escape the desert

Two men were crossing a desert in a hot air balloon. They ran out of fuel, and the balloon began to descend. If they hit the ground, both of them would have starved, so they decided to lighten the balloon by throwing off some weight. First they threw out all their clother\s, but the balloon continued its descent. So they decided that one had to jump off, so that atleast one survived. This was decided by drawing a straw, which the dead man was holding.
