The wire was holding an axe above her head, and when he tripped the wire broke and the axe killed her.

Mine still totally works.

When it's born, it has for legs. As it get's older, it has two legs. When it dies, it has 3 legs. What is it?
Leo_Woof
I so totally know all of these.

Baby crawls, adult walks, old person has a cane.

OR a Zimmerframe, which would mean six legs.. But whatever.

Ok, here's one, I'd forgotten it so hopefully it'll still work.

I can do Arrow Words really good and I like Scrabble and I once got 'Gyrating' on a triple word score and probably won that game.
