Re: Darwin Awards
Zimbabwean Pastor made a mistake trying to walk on water,
I love the way the Daily Fail prints a picture of a crocodile, just in case we didn't know what one looked like. Not sure about them being able to 'pounce' though. Think the Daily Fail confused them with lions and tigers !

Re: Darwin Awards
OFSO, no not quite sure what they mean by 'pounce'. Crocs are so fast it is more like a snatch (no rude comments please). You can just be walking along the bank and they will launch themselves out of the water and grab you. A friend of ours was tossed 6' into the air, caught again then the death roll never to be seen again. Her own fault, she was sitting in the water to cool down. Her 12 year old daughter and friend on the bank were not amused.

I don't feel guilty about laughing anymore! Seems that it was an excellent spoof. ......shame it wasn't true. ...as it could well have been.

From an article about thugs on motor scooters operating in London

My comment that Darwinism should be allowed to take its course and that we would be better off without these parasitic vermin was the 'top rated' comment and then was suddenly removed.
Other reports have suggested that criminals are deliberately removing their helmets in a bid to try and get police to stop chasing them because it makes the pursuit more unsafe.

Re: Darwin Awards
But interesting. Drinking lots of coffee - even Turkish coffee - puts me to sleep. But then I am different. Alcohol keeps me awake ! Obviously Mother nature got those two the wrong way around when she assembled me.

A gentleman of my acquaintance, over the Internet, I never met him, died of drinking Vodka and Red Bull!
He was only in his 30's.
He was the Moderator/Owner of a Yahoo Mailing List that I was a member of, it is sailing along like the Marie Celeste, as he never divulged the ID & password to anyone!

This one certainly is:-
At least 148 people were killed as they rushed to collect spilled fuel after an oil tanker overturned and exploded in Pakistan, rescue workers have said.

(Potential) Darwin Awards
So you are married, your wife is in her last stage of pregnancy....and you decide to go back-packing somewhere where there's no conventional medical care, no modern sanitation, no comms and no efficient transport - oh and where white-skinned people are treated with grave suspicion (grave being the place where many end up). Is this a Darwin Award Canuk - sorry, Candidate - in training ?

It reminds me of the inept gang of safe-crackers who instead of cutting open a safe actually managed to weld it shut

If the fcuking airhead PM of all the Canadians proceeds true to form, he'll award that brain dead turd 10 mil of public money as recompense for pain and suffering.
