What Goes Up Must Come Down
2007 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
"What goes up must come down."
(20 June 2007, South Carolina) A passing cabbie found a 21 year-old couple Znaked and injured in the road an hour before sunrise. The two people died at the nearest hospital without regaining consciousness. Authorities were at a loss to explain what had happened. There were no witnesses, no trace of clothing, and no wrecked cars or motorcycles.
Investigators eventually found a clue high on the roof of a nearby building: two sets of neatly folded clothes. Safe sex takes on a whole new meaning when you are perched on the edge of a pyramid-shaped metal roof. "It appears as if [they] accidentally fell off the roof," Sgt. Florence McCants said.
This is a true Darwin Award trifecta: TWO people die, WHILE in the act of procreation, due to an ASTONISHINGLY poor decision. Bottom line: If you put yourself in a precarious "position" at the edge of a pointy roof, you may well find yourself coming and going at the same time.
Ironically, one of the deceased was named "Tumbleston."
The Enema Within
2007 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
(21 May 2004, Texas) Michael was an alcoholic. And not an ordinary alcoholic, but an alcoholic who liked to take his liquor... well, rectally. His wife said he was "addicted to enemas" and often used alcohol in this manner. The result was the same: inebriation.
The machine shop owner couldn't imbibe alcohol by mouth due to a painful throat ailment, so he elected to receive his favourite beverage via enema. And tonight, Michael was in for one hell of a party. Two 1.5 litre bottles of sherry, more than 100 fluid ounces, right up the old address!
When the rest of us have had enough, we either stop drinking or pass out. When Michael had had enough (and subsequently passed out) the alcohol remaining in his rectal cavity continued to be absorbed. The next morning, Michael was dead.
The 58-year-old did a pretty good job of embalming himself. According to toxicology reports, his blood alcohol level was 0.47%.
In order to qualify for a Darwin Award, a person must remove himself from the gene pool via an "astounding misapplication of judgment." Three litres of sherry up the butt can only be described as astounding. Unsurprisingly, his neighbors said they were surprised to learn of the incident.
Support Group
2007 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
"Gravity still works."
(28 July 2007, Czech Republic) A pack of thieves attempted to steal scrap metal from an abandoned factory in Kladno. Unfortunately for them, they selected the steel girders that supported the factory roof. When the roof supports were dismantled, the roof fell, fatally crushing two thieves and injuring three others.
(21 June 2007, Philippines) Three entrepreneurs planned to profit from stolen scrap metal. They entered a former US military complex and approached the prize: an abandoned water tank. Bedazzled by the potential upside, the three threw logic to the wind, and began to cut the metal legs out from under the tank. Guess where it fell? Straight onto the thieves. Their flattened bodies have not yet been identified.
(31 July 1997) Two teens were disassembling an electric tower with wrenches when it toppled to the ground. They apparently wanted to sell its aluminum supports for scrap, but they failed to realize the essential role the aptly named "support" plays in a 160-foot tower. One of the men was crushed by the collapse of the ten-thousand-pound tower, while the other dug himself out from under, a sadder but wiser man from his close brush with a Darwin Award.

Oil Tank Trampoline
2007 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
(24 June 2007, Colorado) If you get "Footloose" and cut the rug on an oil tank, be careful not to light a cigarette or bong of weed, else you may soo
I liked Sc4 with Rush hour the best. The 'drive-it' or whatever thing was pretty lame, but I liked the way you could do more realistic transport systems etc. I thought the "Region" idea lifted SimCity4 high above SimCity 3000. What I'd like to see is the ability to have streetcars, and, most importantly, curved roads.
I agree that "recordings can be made without permission" for people in a position of authority: your boss asks you to do something illegal, you're threatened by a police officer, etc. but it's not as easy to judge for other recordings.
Or do the meteors run predictable laps around the solar system? Yes. Or rather, we run predictable laps around the solar system so we can predict every time we're going to hit something, like an area with lots of meteors.
I got in trouble for that in grade 5 when I pointed out that the sun would eventually die out. I was told "Well, it's not going to die out in our lifetimes". I replied with "So are oil and gas renewable resources if they aren't depleted before we die?". The teacher put on my report card "... seems to have trouble distinguishing between renewable and non-renewable resources."
OTOH, I got a laptop, installed gutsy alpha 5 (Feisty wouldn't work w/o a weird hack), but when I started experimenting with Debian, I tried Debian testing (newer version more likely to have drivers), and it wouldn't work with the ethernet card (one of the problems with Feisty; I didn't end up installing it, but I think it would probably have had the same problems though). So I guess it's a case-by-case thing.
Actually, I was going to print and send in letters to my MP (John Godfrey, Liberal), the PM, the Minister of Industry (Jim Prentice), Minister of Canadian Heritage (Josee Verner), and get >25 people from my school to sign a petition to send to my MP on Monday, but I probably won't now. I could take the time to actually do something, but it's easier to wait until a weekday, where you have more contact with other people.
OTOH, The Mulroney-Shrieber Affair might be enough to level the tables, so long as Shrieber can spill the beans slowly enough, and implicate enough people. People complain about a couple hundred thousand $ spent in the Liberal Sponsorship scandal, but that's nothing compared to the BILLIONS in the Airbus affair.
Once, I thought I lost all the data in ~,/4 HOURS/ after I had gone out and purchased an external trive to back up to!!! Then it turned out I had only lost files up to part of 'k'; and then KDE didn't work properly. But I didn't lose anything big.
I read part of TFA, and it seems to be saying that you can id spam mails because they are being sent to a person who gets lots of spam. But that still doesn't take into account the fact that that person also receives legit mail, AND the fact that what is spam to one person isn't spam to another.
Also, seems like a bit of a slashvertisment for what is yet an unproven technology - the only benchmarks we have are ones they provide.
Now I can pay to have my cellphone tell me I'm somewhere in downtown Toronto. Just what I've always wanted - I always keep forgetting these minor details.
Wrong. Even today, the Fraser Institute (which is by no means a left-wing thinktank) calls the situation "Canada's Aparteid". I suppose your rosy outlook on our native reserves conveniently ignores the fact that the poverty comes out of the poor treatment of 30 years ago. Even today we can't be bothered to make sure that they have sanitary drinking water.
That's a good example of an ad hominem argument. The fact that it was Iran doesn't change the fact that Canada probably has committed such abuses, especially in our treatment of our native people.

Are you implying the Darwin Awards don't matter?

My favorite hack was when I went to go look and got "Service Unavailable".
I got in trouble for that in grade 5 when I pointed out that the sun would eventually die out. I was told "Well, it's not going to die out in our lifetimes". I replied with "So are oil and gas renewable resources if they aren't depleted before we die?". The teacher put on my report card " ... seems to have trouble distinguishing between renewable and non-renewable resources."
This sounds more like Open Standards, not Open Source.
just to speed things up a bit:
OTOH, I got a laptop, installed gutsy alpha 5 (Feisty wouldn't work w/o a weird hack), but when I started experimenting with Debian, I tried Debian testing (newer version more likely to have drivers), and it wouldn't work with the ethernet card (one of the problems with Feisty; I didn't end up installing it, but I think it would probably have had the same problems though). So I guess it's a case-by-case thing.
So, now that you've got these impressive sales, how long until Microsoft's gaming division finally turns a profit?
Thanks for the info.

Adobe ain't too happy with Apple right now, seeing as how there's no 64bit Carbon.
