    Someone threw a backpack at him?

    An old school teacher I once had told the class this same riddle, but it was a farmer in a field with a sack. I don't know if that helps anyone any, but it might (assuming the answers to both are the same). Edit- removed superfluous text

    He was walking thorough the woods because he was on a camping trip, thus he carried his effects in a backpack. THen, there was a tree root or similar obstale,t hat caused him to fall down face-first.

    Sorry, but no one has gotten it. BTW each point is important (other than the forest). Read each part and explain each carefully and you may get closer to the answer.
    In other words, he could also be in a field or on a city street.

    RCoutMe told me to tell Rallymama that she was right. :) (He's watching Murder She Wrote and tryng to guess the killer so he won't go online and reply himself *cough lazy*) I hate riddles myself. I never ever get them. And I can't create them either. I always thought J.R. Tolkein was incredibly clever for his riddles in The Hobbit. You guys all pretty clever too though! Anyways good luck to you in continuing!

    :D

    "What does man love more than life
    Fear more than death or mortal strife
    What the poor have, the rich require,
    and what contented men desire,
    What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
    And all men carry to their graves?"

    Rally, that one was partly covered in a previous portion of this thread!! Really, you need to read through so that you don't repeat. Sorry about not responding earlier, but, as Silverwolf86 said, I was doing very important research *cough*...

    Well Falstaff, are you going to post the next riddle or will someone else have to take it over?

    I think we should apply the sme Impatient Jackass standard that is the rule over in the Quote Game. If you keep folks waiting for your submittal >24 hrs, you'r open to be scooped.

    That might be a good idea.
    And considering it has been over 48 hours, anyone got another riddle?
