This is actually a true story, and took a while to work out by detectives. And I'm not suprised.

Deep in the forest was found the body of a man who was wearing only swimming trunks, snorkel and facemask. The nearest lake was 8 miles away and the sea was 100 miles away. How had he died?


I'll tell you the answer in a few days.

Well done Bj for the murder one, but no-ones got the cabin one yet. And people are going to start hating me when I tell them the answer, although it is quite good.

Okay, my solutions to the two men in the cabin puzzle:
1) They were playing chess, and each waiting for the other to make his move.
2) The two are freezing in the mountains, and it is clear they cannot live long enough to be rescued, so the first says to the second "I'm going for a walk, I may be some time..." The second later realises the first man is not back, goes looking for him and finds his dead body outside - he has made the supreme sacrifice to allow his friend to live. Unfortunately, the second man is a vegetarian.
3) the men are siamese twins and so one was helpless when the other died.
4) The first man dies, and the second does not go to look for help because he has promised to look after something belonging to the first man.
5) Both die waiting for the third man to go get help.

Alternatively

The two men in the cabin were:

Squashed by a ski-lift falling through their roof.
They were snowed in, starved to death.
They killed each other.
They were not really dead and Grix was lying.
The gas stove leaked and gassed them.
The electric stove leaked and electrisced them.
The cabin killed them.
They died of old age.
Grix can't spell coffin properly.
It's one man who is schizophrenic who just thought he was two men before committing suicide.
I could go on......but I like the people here so I won't inflict this on you any more.
