Ring a ding y'all
As the brain ages we must keep it active to mintain a healthy mind, so since y'all are mostly old fogies I thought a riddle thread may help :coffee: ...

An easy one to start;
A man lies dead in the middle of a field.
Beside him lies an unopened package.
As the man neared the centre of the field he knew he would die.
How did he know?
