Inches Away From a Darwin Award

Complaint about title, DAWs have to die to win. Merely coming close is just an Honorable Mention.

The techinical qualifications are a bit nebulous. Can you only remove yourself from the "[collective] human genome" by death? Or is it sufficient to steralize yourself and ensure you leave no progeny?
The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of
the human genome by honoring those who
accidentally remove themselves from it...

Though, in this case you're correct either way, I'm just being pedantic.


yes, actually. the qualifications of a DA are either death (which would render you unable to reproduce) or some catastrophe that left you unable to reproduce. they get pretty gruesome in the books, sometimes.

oh for fuck sake... HOW??? how can you walk around and breathe at the same time with such an obviously useless brain?
Seriously, is this guy borderline retarded? And if he is who was the moron who let him work at a place with highly flammable liquids?

Imo, we live in a world where we're pretty much wrapped in cotton wool. Stub your toe? Make a claim.
We're an arrogant race.. we think everything is safe, and we think we're automatically the top of the food chain whilst forgetting the hard work that got us there <img class="smiley" src="http://videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/tongue.gif">
When you think about it you realise that behind all these laws and safety regulations and stuff, we're just animals surviving. We've developed some cool ways to do it in style, but that's still what we are.
If you got dumped on an earth with no sign of human technology, would you be fucked? I think 95% of us would be!


Lately, I'm finding myself getting pissed off when something happens to a bit of tech due to some bizarre unforseeable occurance and then a few seconds later calling myself a moron because there was no way for the designer to do anything about it.

I just think there are stupid people in the world. There are what? Over 6 billion people in the world now? With those type of odds. Someone is going to hit the stupidity jackpot.. (IE, its a million to one shot that an idiot would look in to a fuel tank with a lighter. Boom we have a winner) and a lot of times it's not that they are stupid, Its just that they do not THINK or Even want to. (IE Lady falling on her face while walking and texting. On live TV) I worked Tech support for years. I've had arguments with people over just getting them to check the damn power plug and then have them be surprised when its really unplugged.

You just couldn't see it, that's all. He rolled off camera, and out into the street where he was hit by a bus.
