Is the man's profession important? Is he a farmer? Is this a regular chicken's egg? Was he trying to balance it? Did it fall from a roof? | ||

|
The egg dropped from a tall building (thus explaining how a simple egg could have caused death) onto the man? Egg hit the man in the head? relevant? | ||

Is the fact the egg cracked secondary? Like the egg is included because it was in the person's accident but it's mainly about the person? If not... Did the person knew that cracking the egg would kill the other person? The other peron was he or she a relative? Was the person about to make breakfast but distracted? Here is a wild guess: Was the egg part of the those relays you know where the person is balancing an egg in their mouth on a spoon? The other person cheated by pushing the spoon? Did the man die from shock? | ||

Can we call the man who died Lennie? And the man who threw the egg George? "I will love him and hug him and pet him and squeeze him and I will call him George." Hugo the Abominable Snowman SBQ's about George & Lennie? Anyone else relevant? Is George & Lennie's relationship relevant? Did George have a motive to kill Lennie? Was he trying to kill Lennie? George threw the egg: at Lennie? accidentally? Was the egg broken after it was thrown? before? Did it break on impact with something? Lennie? a wall? the ground? Did George die also? Did the egg hit something that hit something that hit something ... that hit and killed Lennie? (like one of those elaborate contraptions you see in cartoons, where something hits a bowling ball, which falls on a seesaw, which flips the switch on a fan, which blows a boat across a pool of water, which strikes and lights a match, etc. etc.) | ||

No, he wasn't George threw the egg: at Lennie? NO - good q accidentally? No Was the egg broken after it was thrown? Yes before? No Did it break on impact with something? Yes Lennie?

No (like one of those elaborate contraptions you see in cartoons, where something hits a bowling ball, which falls on a seesaw, which flips the switch on a fan, which blows a boat across a pool of water, which strikes and lights a match, etc. etc.) Man, you are hooked on cartoons!
