If she hadn't been so fond of him, they would be celebrating their 10th anniversary by now. |

Did her gift indirectly cause his death (i.e. she gave him a fishing rod and he was eaten by a whale)? If yes, did it cause an allergy? What about an accident? What about massive muscle atrophy due to sitting in front of a computer trying to figure out lateral thinking puzzles? |

The yopeish giving: did it involve food? Wild Guess: did he like to eat things that were bad for his health, and she was fond of him, so she didn't take them away / make him cut back / refuse to buy them for him / argue/nag/fight with him about them, thus contributing to his early demise? |

OK, I'll get a bit more general, then... Did he have a habit? a preference? an item? a hobby? a job? that contributed to his death? that directly caused his death? If she had been less fond of him, would she have insisted that he give up this whatever-it-was? Would her insistence caused him to be angry at her? to fight with her? to lie to her? to leave her? |

So maybe she didn't approve of smoking in the house, but because she was fond of her husband she let him smoke in the kitchen, Where he was unfortunate enough to light a match in the presence of a gas leak, the resulting explosion killing him? |

was one of the gas jets already lit? and there was one that had had been left on previously, the gas seeping out and when the cigarette sparked it ignited the leaking gas causing the explosion? or...is it an oven that exploded? the mention of carbon monoxide led me to this possibility |

Did he light his cigarette from the burning gas jet, and as he did so, drew it through the leaking gas jet? Is he the person who lit the non-leaking gas jet? did he light it specifically to light his cigarettte from it? and to clarify: The thing he did that she didn't like, but allowed him to do anyway brecuse she was fond of him: smoking in the house in general? or was it some more specific part of smoking, like, lighting his cigarettes from the stove? |

No Is he the person who lit the non-leaking gas jet? did he light it specifically to light his cigarettte from it? Oh BLOOPER ALERT! Answer to "was one of the gas jets already lit?" should be "no". There was one which was on, but none were lit. Sorry!!! and to clarify: The thing he did that she didn't like, but allowed him to do anyway brecuse she was fond of him: slight FA here smoking in the house in general? No..remove a few words and it'll be a yes or was it some more specific part of smoking, like, lighting his cigarettes from the stove? No |

wild strange thought time.....forgive me did his wife know that his smoking would probably lead to a long and painful death by cancer, and because she was so fond of him (loved him so much) she didn't want him to have to die in such a way, so she left the jet of gas on in the kitchen and told him he could smoke in there? (not that a death from third degree burns is any more pleasant, but you never know!) not one of my better trains of thought i'm sure! |

Did she fill up the lighter? Is there another person envolved? Is there another object still to be found out? How did the fact that she was fond of him express: she did something for him? she said something to him? to someone else? she gave something to him? to someone else?

The thing envolved that is not an object is it: something palpable? an animal? a plant? a gaz? a liquid? The thing she sort of gave to him, was it: the lighter? the thing still to be found out? Instead of giving it to him did she put it anywhere where he took it from? Did he take it from her? Is the way he obtained the lighter relevant? |

So we still have to find out how she interfered, right? Yes Did she have the lighter during his cold? Yes, she took it away from him Did she want him not to smoke during his cold? Correct Anything else still to be found out? Not really Let's have a... ******************SPOILER******************** A man was having a bad cold, so his wife took his lighter and cigarettes away from him to stop him smoking till he got better. The next day, however, he complained that being unable to smoke was making him feel even worse, and begged her to return them to him. Being extremely soft-hearted towards him, she relented. When he came home from work that day, he entered the kitchen to get himself something to eat, unaware that the stove was leaking gas. He lit his cigarette, and the resulting explosion killed him instantly. His wife has been alone ever since. Thanks for playing! |
