Clever Riddles/Puzzles

Two men wearing white shirts and blue pants are found dead in a cabin at the bottom of a cliff. How did they die?

No one has beaten this riddle yet...

Spoiler: HINT

Cabin not made of logs.

They died when their plane crashed.

This is a fairly standard one, couldn't bother reading all the pages to see if it has been done before.

3 men are tied to poles. The poles are positioned in a straight line, allowing each man to only look at the pole straight ahead: The one at the front sees nothing, the one tied to the middle pole sees the man on the first pole and the last guy can see both the first and second man. The men either wear red or blue(both colors are represented)colored hats. In order to be untied they need to guess the color of their own hat.

Which man can solve the riddle and why?

To make the position of the poles a bit easier:

* = First pole
* = Second pole
* = Third pole

The line of sight would be to the north in this diagram.

If the first and second man have the same color hat, then the third one can determine that his hat must be the other colored hat. If the first and second man have different color hats, then the third man cannot deduce this, and by the third man's failure to solve the problem, then second man can solve the riddle by saying his hat doesn't match the color of the person in front of him.

A fun one:

A father and his son are in a car, driving the young boy to school. They are late, and rush, and unfortunately in their haste they crash. The father is killed in the accident and the boy is rushed to hospital. While there, the doctor treating him looks toward the young boy an announces; "That's my son!"

How is this possible?

MaxTheReaper murders two people at the same time, but they are not near each other. How could he do this?

There are several possible situations, but the most likely one is that he kills a man by breaking every bone in his body, then once that is done he activates his death trap 1,000 miles away through his thoughts. That scenario being the simplest way, of course. I imagine he could do it many more elaborate ways.
