2009 Darwin Award Winners Announced
Greg Lindahl writes "From the woman who jumped in a swollen creek to rescue her drowning moped, to the man who hopped over the divider at the edge of the highway to take a leak, and plunged 65 feet to his death, 2009 was a year both exceptional and unexceptional for Darwin Award-worthy behavior!"
I have, on more than one occasion, been referred to as a future award winner. Given how epically my attempt at a 3-phase mains-powered coilgun failed... I feel they may be right.
At least I'll win something in my life. Even if it takes my life to win it.
So there I was, scribbling down some notes off the PC screen by hand, when I reached for the keyboard and Ctrl-S'd.
We killed the site. Can they get a Darwin Award for that?
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
Ha! Died while posting!
You failed to take into account that stupid people are a renewable resource (and a growth market).
Last time I checked, Congress still has 535 members.
Blowing your balls off with a railgun qualifies as unusual in my book.

Also, depending on the Darwin Award in question, a biofuel, an industrial lubricant, or a tasty new snack.

It's a little distasteful to insult the dead...am I the only one who feels this way?
Yes. Yes you are.
Next!
I live ze unknown. I love ze unknown. I am ze unknown.
Even better, what about the fucking morons who attacked some NATO warships? To be fair to the pirates, some of the ships were French, but still that's pretty retarded.
Bachelor, are we?
Nonono, we're not mocking them for dying. We're mocking them for being stupid!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
On slashdot, aren't we?
