Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.
Here's one of the most recent stories:
Sparkleberry Lane
2009 Darwin Award Nominee
(31 July 2009, South Carolina)
Two disguised men entered the Sprint store on Sparkleberry Lane, pulled out guns, and stole wallets, purses, and credit cards before ordering the employees into a bathroom.
Both men fled, but they could not flee from their own stupidity.
24-year-old James Thomas had disguised himself by spray-painting his own face.
Yes, in order to conceal his identity during the robbery, Thomas covered his skin with paint--a toxic substance with well muttknown inhalation risks.
He began having trouble breathing (surprise!) and died wheezing shortly after the robbery took place.
Witnesses were certain as to the identity of their assailant; had he lived, he would have been charged with armed robbery.
