The 2006 Darwin Awards

People are so stupid. Did #1 actually die from that? It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. And you know that instance is not the first time some drunk golfers have done that...

Honestly, I have no clue if he kicked the bucket or not. But seriously, YUK! I can't imagine how drunk you have to be to even consider doing something so daft...

If he didn't die, I believe the fact that he "removed himself from the gene pool" by self-castration allows him to qualify for the Darwin Awards. I haven't checked the rules recently, but I think self-inflicted accidental sterility is considered as valid as self-inflicted accidental death.

I love this line: self-inflicted accidental sterility. Those words, strung together this way, say so much without taking up too much space. :))

*boggles at the electric sander* Thanks Darwin Awards for making me paranoid about people's couches for the rest of my life.

LOL yeah... but can u even imagine how desperate one has to get to resort to using a sander... *shudders* I mean, there is stupidity and then there is stuff like this...

It is numbers nine and seven that really annoy me, because it is someone else’s stupidity that caused the death of others. And we call ourselves the “dominants species” *rolls eyes*

"Dominant species" - LOL! himm... definitely not.
