The Darwin Awards

[chaseter]

I don't know if any of y'all know what this is but the Darwin Awards is a book published every year that chronicles the most idiotic people on this planet that end up dying over their stupidity. The books are great. Post any stories you have of dumb people you have heard of getting themselves killed.


A man and his friend were playing near the railroad tracks. One mentioned he could get his face closer to the oncoming train than his friend. Well, he won but his head was severed clean off.


A Berlin woman thought she would make her trip to Spain memorable by getting a picture of the Running of the Bulls. The woman removed a barrier and stepped onto the street to get the best shot. She was trampled by 6 bulls.


Prakesh and Suresh decided to visit the Calcutta zoo and try and worship Shiva, a tiger. They jumped into the cage to put a ceremonial flower band around the animal's neck. They were both mauled.


A man in Buenos Aires, after a heated argument with his wife, threw her off an 8th story balcony. She landed in the high line wires. To his dismay, he jumped after her to finish the job and missed the power lines...falling to his death.

*THESE ARE ALL TRUE!...more to come.
