i'm sure some of you have heard of the Darwin Awards- given to the winner(s) of a stack of nominees who all met their doom after some amazingly moronic action.
they have all "taken themselves out of the gene pool" so to speak- and the stories are hard to believe:
the winner for 2001 was a pair of fella's who decided to sneak into an ampitheatre to see a sold-out rock concert. the first guy launched himself over the ten foot wall and found a thirty foot drop on the other side!
he got hung up in a tree and then decided to cut his shorts off with his pocket knife so he could drop the remaining distance. he did this, and fell bare-butted onto a bunch of holly/briar bushes and was impaled through the rectum with a holly branch!!
his pocket knife was now sticking out of his thigh and the briars cut him all over the rest of his body.
his friend saw this from his perch above and decided to throw his buddy a rope. he then tied the other end of the rope to his pick-up truck and hit the gas. unfortunately he was in reverse and he slammed backwards into and through the wall and fell the thirty feet onto his friend!
he was thrown from the car and died of massive internal injuries.
when the police lifted the truck, they found the first guy crushed beneath it, with a holly branch up his @ss, his pocket knife stuck in his thigh, and his shorts twenty feet up in a tree.
***a runner up story example is of a guy who decided to use a bullet as a temporary "fuse" in his car.....he blew his face off.
***another guy decided to bite down on a blasting cap and met a similar fate.
***one guy decided to steal a hot dog from a convenience store and he ran out of the store laughing, shoving the hotdog into his mouth.
he was found a short distance away, dead from choking on the hot dog.
***yet another story is of a guy who wanted to see how fast his car could go if he attached jet propulsion tanks to it.
they found his car 150 feet up, slammed completely into the side of a mountain.
anybody have any more stories to add? i hope so or this thread is DEAD.
