A man likes birds. One time he looks out the window, he sees a few birds and he gets scared. Why? Fill in the omitted detail.

You win.



Omitted detail again...

2. The riddle takes place in USA. A man is in a coma for several years now. He wakes up lying on the bed in a warm room of the hospital. He glances at a woman’s profile passing near the closed window. He sees no one else and none object but he knows right then that it isn’t summer. How?

Summer is his wife. He would surely have recognized her.

The hospital staff has a weird sense of humor and every christmas they dress that comatose man as Santa Claus.
No harm done, right?  As long as he doesn't wake up ... oops!

No. He sees none objects. Or he sees the window but that's all regarding objects. [hide]Maybe she did have heavy coat but he couldn't see it because she is short. And maybe she forgot to take her hat.[/hide] ::)
