    He had an allergy to albatross. There is no known "reason" for allergies.

      4. Did he use a weapon to kill himself (knife or gun)?
      5. Did he use some other method such as poision?.

      Weird structure, but this way they're yes/no questions
      1. No
      2. No
      3. Hmmmm.... hard to answer that one. I guess yes.
      4. Yes. Gun.
      5. No.

      Yes/No is the way to go

        No. I think someone guessed that before.

        Let me say again, the guy shot himself in the head with a gun. THAT was the cause of death. Now you need to figure out WHY he did that.

              Let's see... so this single American guy, a former cook, joins the Navy and quickly realizes that he has no aptitude for or a deathly fear of flying. The albatross represents both his inability to fly and his anxiety about it.

              So he shoots himself in a perfectly normal restaurant so because he can't live with the shame.

              LOL okay, it was a reach, but I couldn't help myself!

                      Sure.

                      Actually, no, he was not. But it's not really relevant.

                          Let's see. He started eating the ALbatross, then thought back to his childhood in the "Rescuers Down Under" Disney movie, realized he was eating the very same bird that carried those cute mice from America all the way to Australia and decided to take his life. Being in the Navy was a coincidence.

                            did anything happen between the bite and him killing himself?

                              1) Was he on a boat?
                              2) Did he purposily order albatross?
                              3) Did he listen to "The Jam" due to them being the best band in the world alot?
                              4) Had he ever eaten Albatross before?
                              5) Did he think the Albatross was something else?

                                Simultaneously eating bird and reading "old man and the sea" can be hazardous to your health.

                                  1) Has eating the albatros caused him to kill himself?
                                  If "no" that would make those two events unrelated.
                                  If "yes", then:

                                  2) Was it because it put him in fitting emotional state for suicide (for example by reminding him of something that happened in the past)?

                                  if "no":

                                  3) Was it because it somehow contained some kind of message giving him new information that made him want to kill himself?

                                      Sexican/TheBigGuy - No.

                                      Juilioso - No, nothing physically happened between eating the Albatros and killing himself, other than deciding to kill himself.

                                          1. Yes.
                                          2. Yes.
                                          3. Yes, sort of. I don't know what you mean by "contained some kind of message," but yes, eating the Albatross somehow gave him new information that made him want to kill himself.


                                          Wow, check you out.

                                                Um, no. He killed himself. We established that a long time ago. Now it's just a question of why....

                                                    I won't be around for a lot of today, but I'll check in when I can.

                                                    Time for a hint:

                                                    The man is physically disabled.

                                                        Can you elaborate more. Did he die just because he was disabled and could not run.

                                                          2. Yes.
                                                          3. Yes, sort of. I don't know what you mean by "contained some kind of message," but yes, eating the Albatross somehow gave him new information that made him want to kill himself.

                                                          Did the albatross meat give him super-psychic abilities?

                                                          If yes, then my guess is that he realized that the bird was really his father reincanated. Distraught he killed hiself.

Not a big fan of that. As for me showing you my tits, I don't think that is a good idea either... what with me being a GUY and all. But hey, whatever floats your boat. I'm not judging you for being gay. It's just not my thing.

                                                                                                      OK, here is the answer... Krome was close enough, so I'll say he is the winner.

                                                                                                      The guy used to be a cook in the Navy. One day, there was an explosion in the kitchen. He managed to survive, but lost his vision. After days and days and days of being stranded at sea on life boats, the survivors started dying from starvation and their various injuries.

                                                                                                      Finally, they managed to kill a few of the Albatross that were flying around their life rafts, so they had food. The blind man ate, and enjoyed the Albatross.

                                                                                                      They were eventually rescued. After getting home and getting his life somewhat back in order, the man was craving Albatross, so he went to a restaurant and ordered it - raw, of course. When he took the first bite, he realized he was not fed Albatros on the boat... He actually was eating his fellow crew members. He couldn't live with the fact that he enjoyed eating people, so he killed himself right there, on the spot.

                                                                                                      And there you have it.

                                                                                                      *****
