about evolution... and stupid people

Yeah, I think you all know the Darwin Awards site and if you don't, check it out, click here

Here is a story,
read on Embarassed

(7 March 2002, Colorado) When Gerald was pulled over by police for erratic driving, he decided it was better to flee from the stolen car on foot, rather than face possible jail time for a parole violation. This was the first of two successive mental lapses. Gerald’s actual thoughts are unknown, but *may* have been something like this: "The officers are only suspicious and alert now... I’ll make them hot, sweaty, tired, and angry by leading them on a wild chase through dark alleys and fields."
During the subsequent foot chase, Gerald attempted to dissuade officers from the pursuit by firing a 9mm Ruger semiautomatic handgun blindly over his shoulder. This was the second illustration of a potential mental deficiency. "Officers are running behind me. They have guns. I have a gun! They have eyes in the front of their heads, so they can see to aim at me. I don't have eyes in the back of my head, so I’ll fire wildly behind me and see what happens!"

Unfortunately, Gerald appears to have been one of those folks who can't chew gum and walk at the same time. Or at least he couldn’t flee and fire at the same time. While discharging the weapon over his shoulder, Gerald managed to shoot himself in the head with his own gun, bringing the chase to a sudden conclusion.

Four shots were fired, none by the officers, who found Gerald's pistol next to his fallen body. Gerald was transported to a local hospital where he expired the following day, thus removing a set of genes deficient in both judgment and coordination from the gene pool.

That is so awful. I wonder if this guy had reproduced before he died?(sorry for the rude sarcasm) I found myself almost laughing at it but realised the poor guy has grieving parents somewhere an theres not really anything funny about it.
I would bet you a 100 dollar bill that there was alcohol invovled.Alcohol
the great legal drug. This never would have happened if hed a just smoked a jpint

instead of being drunk. I drive slower when im under the influence of cannabis. Much safer anmore alert. Well thanks echo for that post. It did bring a smile to my face but I felt guilty about even smiling about such a sad comgloberation of mistakes and bad judgement.
Alcohol is bad bad bad. Believe me I know I used to put away a 5th of scotch a day in my 20's . I now only drink in an emergancy situation. (a death) well peace an love everyone Lilli

Utterly insensitive, I agree.

More insensitive stuff ahead

They are finally out again. You all know about the Darwin Awards.
It's an annual honor given to the person who did the gene pool the biggest service by killing themselves in the most extraordinarily
stupid way.
(Drum roll please)

#4
A 22 year old, Glad Drive, Reston, VA, man was found dead after he tried to use octopus straps to bungee jump off a 70-foot railroad
trestle. Fairfax County police said Eric Barcia, a fast-food worker,
taped a bunch of these straps together, wrapped one end around one
foot, anchored the other end to the trestle at Lake Accotink Park, jumped and hit the pavement.
Warren Carmichael, a police spokesman, said investigators think Barcia was alone because his car was found nearby.
"The length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than the distance between the trestle and the ground," Carmichael said. Police say the apparent cause of death was "Major trauma."

#3
A man in Alabama died from rattlesnake bites. It seems that he and a friend were playing a game of catch, using the rattlesnake as a ball.
The friend, no doubt a future Darwin Awards candidate, was
hospitalized.

#2
Employee in a medium sized warehouse in west Texas noticed the smell of a gas leak. Sensibly, management evacuated the building
extinguishing all potential sources of ignition: lights, power, etc.. After the building had been evacuated, two technicians from the gas company were dispatched. Upon entering the building, they found they had difficulty navigating in the dark. To their frustration, none of the lights worked.
Witnesses later described the sight of one of the technicians reaching into his pocket and retrieving an object that resembled a cigarette lighter.
Upon operation of the lighter like object, the gas in the warehouse exploded, sending pieces of it up to three miles away. Nothing was found of the technicians, but the lighter was virtually untouched in the explosion.
The technician suspected of causing the blast had never been thought of as 'bright' by his peers.

#1 (And this is a dandy)
Based on a bet by his mates, Everett Sanchez tried to wash his own
"balls" in a ball washer at the local golf course. Proving once again
that beer and testosterone are a bad mix.
Sanchez managed to straddle the ball washer and dangle his scrotum in the machine. Much to his dismay, one of his buddies upped the ante by spinning the crank on the machine with Sanchez's scrotum in place, thus wedging them solidly in the mechanism.
Sanchez, who immediately passed his threshold of pain, collapsed and tumbled from his perch.
Unfortunately for Sanchez, the height of the ball washer was more than a foot higher off the ground than his testicles are in a
normal stance, and the scrotum was the weakest link.
Sanchez's scrotum was ripped open during the fall, and one testicle was plucked from him forever and remained in the ball washer, while the other testicle was compressed and flattened as it was pulled between the housing of the washer, and the rotating machinery inside.
To add insult to injury, Sanchez broke a new $300.00 driver that he had just purchased from the pro shop, and was using to balance himself.
Sanchez was rushed to the hospital for surgery, and the remaining friends were asked to leave the course.

This last one wouldn't normally count, because the idiot didn't die. But because he cannot reproduce as a result of his qualifying act of stupidity, we have allowed it.

OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH ROFLMAO ECHO THAT IS SO HILARIOUS. I give up some things are just a belly laugh altho they are bad. Jared and I cracked up setting here laughing at that ball one.
Reminds me of a bit of that warning page on Ganjacats cann-olympics page of the weight lifter. A few of us were in a conferance msn chat 3 of us together in one box and the other 2 I was chatting to were making such comments about that poor weight lifter I literaly had tears rolling down my face. My belly and sides hurt from laughing so hard. I kept asking them to stop lol as its not nice to laugh at anothers misfortune.But there sense of humors were in peak form that night seems all of us were They didnt and the result was I laughed hystericaly at there "Butt" jokes and completely lost my voice from it. I was the only one home that night an my laughing loud out was all that could be heard thru the house. My conscience did however bother me.
God please forgive but some of that is to ridiculous not to laugh.
Lol thanks Echo I love them darwin awards. Love Lilli

Oh my god. LMFAO. Too much.

I don't think it's bad to laugh, either - we didn't do those things to them. We gotta laugh at the absurdity of it all, on one level it's just all one great big cosmic joke anyway, best to approach it with a smile.

I went to school with someone who was 'unmanned' due to stupidity, he shinned up a flagpole, slid down & caught his nads on the rope tie (a good 4 feet off the floor...)
