Ah, a graphic demonstration of the Darwin Award. Or, how really stupid people (almost always young males) take themselves out of the gene pool.

@2: You beat me to it: that has Darwin written all over it.

If you were to do a very short, alegorical film about Iraq this would be it.

@2 & 4

Don't you have to, um, die to get the Darwin award? If not, I mean pretty fucked up? This guy looks fine. He's on the road to getting a Darwin award, but this is nowhere near big league.

@8

I did now. Hilarious.

Technically you only have to burn off your naughty bits before knocking up the girl next door to win a darwin award.

I'm once again impressed by the myriad uses of WD40: eliminates squeaks, deices locks, educates jerkwads ...

The original "Boom Goes the Dynamite". Sorry, pyros, no fire in this one. But I love this guy!

@9: There are five requirements.
(1) Reproduction: removed from gene pool (dead or sterile)
(2) Excellence: astounding misapplication of judgment
(3) Self-selection: cause of one's own demise/sterility
(4) Maturity: capable of sound judgment
(5) Veracity: event must be true

So, yes, this fellow fails on the first count. However, in spirit, this guy is well on his way.

We need more of this and less Mudede.

Yes, yes, I suppose technically this doesn't qualify for a Darwin Award. But surely this moron is a kindred spirit to past Darwin Award winners. Smacking explosive things with a relatively short stick certainly has Darwin Award written all over it. A slightly shorter stick or a slightly larger can of WD-40 and he would have been a full fledged winner.
