Actually, I've never attended one of these so I'm not sure what to expect, but I may have to go check it out. It would be refreshing to meet people in F-County who actually believed in science and evolution. However, folks like the bpr/denise crowd may burst into flames upon entering Starbucks for an event like this.

Speaking of evolution, I am convinced that our childrens grandchildren will be born with cell phones attached to one ear and a mouse for a hand.

I believe most these awards were won following the utterance of these famous last words "Hey guys, watch this".

I didn't know about the Darwin Awards until Carbonunit explained it to me.

Their motto:
"A Chronicle of Enterprising Demises
Honoring those who improve the species...by
accidentally removing themselves from it!"

My favorite was a mere honorable mention:

The guy who replaced a fuse in his truck with a .22 bullet, which (as the story goes) heated up, fired, and shot him where it counts.

A runner up is the guy who was naked and inebriated and crawled into a bear cage at a zoo and was mauled to death.
