We salute the improvement of the human genome
by honoring those who remove themselves from it.
Of necessity, this honor is generally bestowed posthumously.

Hammer of Doom -- August brings us a winner from Brazil, who tried to
disassemble a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) by driving back and forth
over it with a car. This technique was ineffective, so he escalated to
pounding the RPG with a sledgehammer. The second try was fatal to one
man, six cars, and the repair shop where the efforts took place.
14 more RPG grenades were found in a car parked nearby. Police believe
the ammunition was being scavenged to sell as scrap metal. If it wasn't
then, it certainly is now!

Honorable Mentions:
Helmet Head (12 August 2006) An Indiana man grabbed a roll of duct tape,
fastened a large mortar-style firework to his football helmet, and lit
the fuse... But the 21-year-old wins only an Honorable Mention, as he
survived this party stunt with a concussion and burns. His helmet,
however, was destroyed.

Snake in the Grass -- Another Honorable Mention goes to the hiker in
Scotland who picked up a grass snake so his brother could take a
picture. Just as he reached for it, a black serpent slithered into view.
It was a black adder, Britain's only venomous snake. Both reptiles sank
their fangs into the 44-year-old, who went into anaphylactic shock. He
recovered in the hospital. His excuse for his rash act? He apparently
didn't believe venomous snakes inhabit Scotland.

walk into an open sewer and die."

if you ever truly hate someone you can either kill em or get as far away
as possible because they'll probably accomplish it on their own

what kills me is some of the disclaimers on TV commercials...one of my
favourites was for the Hyundai Tiburon (for those that don't know,
Tiburon is Spanish for shark)..anyways, at the end of the commercial
they show the Tiburon driving into the ocean with the disclaimer"do not
attempt"..like no shit..if yer dumb enuff to drive yer car into the
ocean you deserve what ya get..and if you drown in the process, oh
well...that's one less idiot contaminating the gene pool.And we've all
seen the other disclaimers on commercials and boxes certain products
come in. If we removed these disclaimers(and let's face it..they are
nothing more than good old fashioned common sense) it would be the
equivalent of adding some much needed chlorine to the gene pool.
