Is this what they call a Darwin Award Nominee? :shakehead :ohgeez:

guiri · Apr 20, 2011

Nah, he's way too smart for a Darwin awards. I'll post what I think are this years awards below.

Love the way the dude goes, Bees come home late too

They said Dutch courage in the article. Does that mean he had Heineken? :devil:
=================

The Darwins are out!!!! Yes, it's that magical time of year again when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us.

Here is the glorious winner:

1. 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:

2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and after a little shopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. The inspector tried the machine and he also lost a finger. The chef's claim was subsequently approved.

3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.

4. After stopping for drinks at a bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo 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.

5. An American teenager was in the hospital 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.

6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the 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, is a crime committed?]

7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly.. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape....

8. 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."

9. 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]

10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street by sucking on a hose, 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, but he 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.

As you can see, I don't think this guy qualifies... :shakehead

I'm not so sure about some of those honorable mentions . . .

#2 - The inspector? Yes! . . . Chef? Maybe.

#3 - More along the lines of anger and frustration than stupidity. That's a guy who got plain fed-up. That was a woman who learned a helluva lesson in manners.

#4 - He was stupid for taking such a break and not watching them. But damn if he didn't find a creative way of covering his @$$!

Acid87 · Apr 21, 2011

There defiantly has been better nominees but dang are these people dangerously stupid! Love it

DaveyJones · Apr 21, 2011

In order to qualify for a darwin award you must, trough your own stupidity, remove yourself from the human genepool.
if the bea stings made him sterile he might have a shot...

guiri · Apr 22, 2011

"Could have" is no good, they HAVE to have croaked to be considered I think or at least someone has to die or sumptin'

Hey Davey

Fusion_m8 · Apr 23, 2011

About 60 bees died after they stung him...does that qualify??

guiri · Apr 23, 2011

Well, if number 3 did, I guess this should too. I mean compared to the others, this was a veritable slaughter :devil:

4 beers, one ladder, 8000 bees and no flashlight, what could go wrong?
