The answer is simple, the next to come after that would be 1113213211.

no, Jackal is right. Each line describes the line before it.
ex. 21
1211
in the first line there is one two, and one one, or 1211.

So since the last line is
13112221
There is one one, one three, two ones, three twos and one one
-or-
1113213211.

congratulations Jackal, your the only one who found this easy.

Jogged around to lose 10 pounds, go on a diet, exercise, i don't know, maybe others do.

You're right. The sentence reads "A man weighing 190lbs. carrying three bowling balls..." Not "A man weighing 190lbs., carrying three bowling balls..." The grammar/punctuation counts.

Here's some:

1.
There was a man dead in a phone booth. He was by the shore, there was water, blood, broken glass, and a fish at the phonebooth. The man was inside the phonebooth, and his pantlegs were rolled up to his knees. How did he die?


2.
Someone who's jaundiced has yellow eyes as a symptom for hepatitis. One man had hepatitus, and he had a yellow eye, but his other eye appeared perfectly fine. How could this be?

to the first one, he was murdered by someone, and they dragged him there, put water, and a fish to try to throw them off?!
