Figured I'd start a thread for nominees and those, like the drunk who took his car to WSP for inspection, who are potential future nominees. It will be hilarious to pretend to blow my brains out with this "unloaded" gun.... http://www.kirotv.com/news/19057356/detail.html

No it's not funny. It was shear stupidity. Also a good reason to not have guns laying around while everyone is drinking. A definite darwin nominee though. DWI on Motorized bar stool http://www.komonews.com/news/offbeat/42193142.html

Whether stupid or not, Death is not something to post and rant about. IMHO! No it's not funny. It was shear stupidity. Also a good reason to not have guns laying around while everyone is drinking. A definite darwin nominee though.

"The Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives: by eliminating themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chance of long-term survival. In other words, they are cautionary tales about people who kill themselves in really stupid ways, and in doing so, significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race. "

"I'd rather read your usual C&P rant about conservatives."
Yeah but when it's to the point that 90% of the population realizes that the GOP's conservativism is purely a myth then what's the point of picking on the remaining 10% future darwin award nominees?

You may have conservative values but if you vote for the GOP you aren't a conservative. Sorry to pop your cherry.

Repeatedly voting for a party claiming it's because you have "conservative values" knowing full well that no admin from that party in your lifetime has ever adhered to those values is stupid Aunty. What do they say about repeating the same mistake expecting a different outcome?

Who plays Russian Roulette with an *automatic* pistol???
The article mentions the world "slide" in connection with that handgun. I don't know of any revolvers that have have a "slide".
Yeah, she was a true Darwin Candidate.
Go Darwin, go! One down, many millions more to go.

BCB,
It's not funny that people kill themselves. The Darwin Awards could be labeled as a form of "gallows humor." It's not the death that is funny. It's the incredibly stupid acts by which they kill themselves that's funny, and hence, the Darwin Awards.
Biology and ecology have no sense of humor or tragedy. If people who do stupid things remove themselves from the gene pool, the human species increases its fitness for survival over the long term. From a strictly biological perspective, that is a very good thing.
Sg I hear ya Salmo, I guess the incredibly stupid act was her drinking to much then. That being the cause of the self inflicted gun shot wound. In which most of us are as guilty as her . Just not as stupid or can handle are liquor better. Or the Jack nob who left the bullets in the gun and took it out to play with like a party toy!

I enjoy reading the annual Darwin Award nominee list. Yes, I am sick. It also makes me think twice when I utter the words, "Hold my beer and watch this..."
