(user deleted) Jan 18, 2002	He might have had an allergic reaction??
kgirlca Jan 26, 2004	I also thought that the man was allergic to the food.

RedRogue Jan 26, 2004	All right...he dies eventually, about a couple hundred years later....but eventually...
phrebh May 20, 2005	I can't believe people believe the hype about Eve taking the first bite. Adam was the original spin doctor.
SPUTNIK2 Feb 02, 2006	Adam did not in fact die the day he ate the forbidden fruit that Eve gave him...., now his eyes were open and he had shame and a conscience! Adam went to have alot of children and dying at the supposed ripe ol age at 130....
TehIgnored Mar 28, 2006	It did not say he died immediately....it was just the reason he died...which is true.... i personally didn't like this one for no reason in particular.....but it does work...is not flawed.
triskit May 06, 2006	The teaser is based on myth
DEJL Aug 22, 2006	Good ol christian tale.
sirtidus218 Mar 13, 2007	THE MAN COULD HAD DIED BY A HEART DEISEICE AFTER HE ATE THE FOOD~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
deepsea Mar 31, 2007	no, not okay. Religon does not belong in a teaser.
Shadows Nov 12, 2008	Triskit, it's not a myth. And I liked this. A true situation teaser! Gonna try this one on my friends.
TZCastor Aug 26, 2009	why eat the stupid fruit in the first place? if i was Eve, i would have strangled the snake/satan.
