Of course, you'll never know it if you get one.

haaahahahaha :lol:

wait, they don't ALWAYS die, do they? i thought there were a few in there who just end up severely injured or ostracized or something.

I think you have to be taken out of the gene pool (otherwise Darwin would be irrelevant).

So if a guy shoots himself in a rather comprimising place, he can get one.

Yep, that's how it works. You can survive, just as long as you're out of the gene pool.

They have honourable mentions for people who haven't actually removed themselves from the gene pool, but deserve to have been.

Blown Away
2001 Darwin Award Winner
Confirmed True by Darwin

(16 July, 2001, United States) An assistant plant manager for Blacklidge Emulsions died when he used an acetylene torch to cut a hole in a 10,000 gallon tank of asphalt emulsion. He was attempting to visually survey the amount of emulsion that remained in the tank, but "no safety precautions were taken before the cutting operation began," stated an OSHA representative. "[His] attention was twice called to a warning sign on the side of the structure which stated the contents were combustible. In complete disregard of safety procedures," the erstwhile manager "lit an acetylene torch and began cutting, causing an explosion that blew him 93 feet away

The Human Fly
2001 Darwin Award Nominee
Unconfirmed by Darwin

(May 2001, New Zealand) You might not like this Darwin involving a thirteen-year-old girl. But think how stupid it is for a teenager to consume insect poison. What kid doesn't know better? Children who sniff aerosol propellant, of all things. As if it weren't dangerous enough inhaling random volatile propellants for fun, THIS girl was found dead with a litter of empty bug spray cans under her bed.
Sniffing poison is worse than sniffing hairspray. She died with elevated butane levels in her blood, which confirm that she had been "huffing" from a can labeled with skull and crossbones. Didn't she notice the dead insects on the label? Think how stupid she was to inhale lungfuls of a nasty-smelling chemical designed to KILL things.

New Zealand's reaction to the news is as expected. Coroner Gordon Matenga is calling for "bigger warnings on fly spray cans" after the second fly spray death in Waikato. He explains, "It (is) prevalent for New Zealand young people to sniff fly spray for a quick buzz." The judges are surprised any kids exist who don't know better.

One fewer exists now!
