There should be a "Darwin" type award for people like that.
[post=82898]Quoted post[/post]
Here are the Darwin awards for 2003 (sorry they outdated still funny tho) Maybe someone has last years and why not start our own "Darwin" type awards thread :dummy:
2003 Darwin Awards
The Darwin awards are given out each year based on the actions
of those people thought most likely not to have evolved
properly. This sort
of person flies in the face of evolution, none the less, these are too good to pass up.
First Place - The 2003 Darwin Award Winner: When his
38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim
during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would be robber
James Elliot did something that can only
inspire wonder: He peered down the barrel and tried the
trigger again.
This time it worked.....
And now, the honorable mentions:
The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat
cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted
a claim to his insurance company. The company, suspecting negligence, sent out
oneof its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine out and lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.
A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his
car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle
find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus
driver
found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting
from Harare to Beltway had escaped. Not wanting to admit his
incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered
everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers
to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very
excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't
discovered for 3 days.
:lmfao: ( This deserved silver @least imho)
An American teenager was in the hospital yesterday recovering
from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When
asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was
simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a
moving train before he was hit.

A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the
counter, and asked for change. When he clerk opened the cash
> drawer,
the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the
register,
which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from
the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount
of cash he got from the drawer? $15. (If someone points a gun at you
and gives you money, was a crime committed?)
A thief burst into a Florida bank one day wearing a ski mask
and carrying a gun. Aiming his gun at the guard, the thief
yelled, "FREEZE, MOTHER-STICKERS, THIS IS A ****-UP!" For a
moment,
everyone was silent. Then the snickers started. The guard
completely
lost it and doubled over laughing. It probably saved his life,
because he'd been about to draw his gun. He couldn't have
drawn
and fired before the thief got him. The thief ran away and is
still at large. In memory of the event, the banker later put a
plaque on
the
> wall engraved with the words, "Freeze, mother-stickers, this
> is a ****-up!"
As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man
grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately,
and
the
woman was able to give them a detailed description of the
snatcher.
Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher.
They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief
was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a
positive
ID.
To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the
lady I stole the purse from."
The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked
into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 5 a.m., flashed
a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he
said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.
A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER! When a man attempted to
siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street,
he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the
scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage.
A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal
gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's
sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to
press charges,saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.
