The man was at work putting some letters together up in the sky.
After finishing the first letter, his plane suddenly lost power due to some mechanical failure.
It plunged to the earth, he died in the accident.
Scenario # 2 could be as T
suggested:
"Was he in a space shuttle which depended on electricity to create artificial gravity, and when the power went out he knocked on something sharp in the shuttle and died?"
So,
T, with that I deem you the winner of this trivia. To which address (in spherical coordinate or just plain e-mail?) should I send this postcard to? Drop
me a note, will ya?
