2009 Darwin Award Winners Announced 208
Greg Lindahl writes "From the woman who jumped in a swollen creek to rescue her drowning moped, to the man who hopped over the divider at the edge of the highway to take a leak, and plunged 65 feet to his death, 2009 was a year both exceptional and unexceptional for Darwin Award-worthy behavior!"
Future winner (Score:4, Funny)
I have, on more than one occasion, been referred to as a future award winner. Given how epically my attempt at a 3-phase mains-powered coilgun failed... I feel they may be right.
At least I'll win something in my life. Even if it takes my life to win it.

Also, depending on the Darwin Award in question, a biofuel, an industrial lubricant, or a tasty new snack.

It's a little distasteful to insult the dead...am I the only one who feels this way?
Yes. Yes you are.
Next!

Even better, what about the fucking morons who attacked some NATO warships? To be fair to the pirates, some of the ships were French, but still that's pretty retarded.
