Waiting for the Worms

A dead, naked man is found in the desert with a small piece of toothpick and surrounded by bags full of sand. What happened to him?

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

You are walking in the desert when you come across a canyon. The canyon is 30 feet wide and 20 feet deep with totally vertical sides. At your disposal you have an infinite supply of rope, a book (probably about the size of your average high school chemistry book), a 10 foot ladder, a skein full of water, and most importantly, a delicious banana. How do you get across?

(Eat the banana because it’s delicious. Then fill the canyon with your infinite rope and walk across).
