legameboy Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 [align=center]From Kontraband.com. [/align] THE 2004 DARWIN AWARDS Yes, these are all true. They are finally out again. It's an annual honour given to the person who did the gene pool the biggest service by killing themselves in the most extraordinarily stupid way. Last year's winner was the fellow who was killed by a Coke machine which toppled over on top of him as he was attempting to tip a free soda out of it. And the nominees this year in reverse order are..... 7. A young Canadian man, searching for a way of getting drunk cheaply, because he had no money with which to buy alcohol, mixed gasoline with milk. Not surprisingly, this concoction made him ill, and he vomited into the fireplace in his house. The resulting explosion and fire burned his house down, killing both him and his sister. 6. A 34-year-old white male found dead in the basement of his home died of suffocation, according to police. He was aproximately 6' 2" tall and weighed 225 pounds. He was wearin g a pleated skirt, white bra, black and white saddle shoes and a woman's wig. It appeared that he was trying to create a schoolgirl's uniform look. He was also wearing a military gas mask that had the filter canister removed and a rubber hose attached in its place. The other end was inserted into his rectum for reasons unknown, and was the cause of his suffocation. Police found the task of explaining the circumstances of his death to his family very awkward. (Damn it...I want pictures!!!) 5. Three Brazilian men were flying in a light aircraft at low altitude when another plane approached. It appears that they decided to moon the occupants of the other plane, but lost control of their own aircraft and crashed. They were all found dead in the wreakage with their pants around their ankles. 4. A 22-year-old, Glade 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 polic e 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 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. Employees 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 by the explosion. The technician suspected of causing the blast had never been thought of as 'bright' by his peers. AND THE WINNER OF THE 2004 DARWIN AWARD SHOULD BE.... Based on a bet by the other members of his threesome, Everitt 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 b all 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 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 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 threesome were asked to le ave the course. NOTE: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Keralys Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Pain, idiocy, and death..... bad combo. I'm not even going to get into the Bush thing right now... except for the detail that (sorry, Astro, I will disagree with you on politics if nothing else) there have been WMD's found... like a saren gas bomb that had sufficient saren gas in it to wipe out about ten thousand people. They just screwed it up and US troops were able to disarm and disable it. Next point: Bush wasn't the only one who thought that Iraq had WMD's; everyone (including Clinton, Chirac, Putin of Russia, etc.) thought he did. Bush was just the only one willing to risk something for a possible threat. He didn't circumvent the UN; he went along with it for eight months longer than most of the "right-wing extremists" he's accused of being one of would have said he should... trying for resolution after resolution to back up another resolution he already had that said that the whole UN should have been backing up the US (anyone else remember UN Res. 1441?), etc. But this really isn't the place for that, sorry... I'll go start another argument in the Senate if I feel up to it... but not now. Really, we should try to have one conversation about stupidity without bringing politics into it... (for which I'm as much at fault as anyone else, I'll gladly admit). Anyway, all I can say is thank goodness that those guys are all out of the gene pool. And as far as their all being male - well, who does that really surprise? Even really stupid women aren't usually that stupid... (though I have seen a couple...)

Rogue Nine Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Time to dispel a common misconception about Darwin Awards. To qualify for a Darwin, one only has to remove oneself from the gene pool. The most common way of doing this is, of course, by killing oneself in an extraordinary fashion. But there are cases where people recieve Darwins while alive. They simply mangled their reproductive systems so much so that they are unable to reproduce. Since they have effectively destroyed their capabilities to produce offspring, they qualify for Darwins. And they mostly win, as shown by the ball washer example. *cringe* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I thought surely, SURELY TO GOD nobody would take such an obvious avenue for a lame joke. I have made a mistake. And I would like to appologize for it now.

jokemaster Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Jeez, part of me knows people died and it shouldn't be funny, but the part of me that likes Roadrunner cartoons is laughing his ass off And I still think bush is a ****in' moron, he exaggerated the WMDs part of Iraq, and went to war with almost zero international backing. Was Saddam a bad guy? Yes. Did he need to be removed from powere? Probably, was misleading the country, and sending the U.S. to a war that caused everyone else to think Americans are arrogant morons? No. I mean you guys thought that you should change the names of food because the french didn't want to go to war. I mean French Fries aren't even french for chrissakes!
