Post a good "Darwin Awards" story.....

2theextreme · 06-23-2009, 09:16 AM

Came across this one today for "Honorable Mention":

Chandler, AZ – I’m assuming everyone has heard of the “Darwin Awards“. The actual awards are given to those who have taken themselves out of the gene pool by ridiculous and more often than not, preventable accidents. In other words, idiots who remove all doubt. ”Honorable mentions” are awarded to the survivors. Folks, we have ourselves a fine candidate for “honorable mention”. Nathan Ryan, obviously at wit’s end with his life, decided upon a well-laid suicide plan, McGyver style. Armed with a 24″ sword, a tee shirt and a motor vehicle, he set his plan in action.

Here’s where it gets technical.The handle of the sword was butted up against the instrument panel of his car with the rest running through the steering column. Ryan, (27) the Mesa MENSA, tied the blade in place utilizing his tee shirt and scouted a neighborhood for a solid target. His plan: ram his car into a wall which would thrust him forward thus driving the sword through his body.

What he lacked: brains.

The object he chose to hit was a blocked fence surrounding a backyard swimming pool. His car rammed through the wall, the airbag deployed and bent the **** out of the sword. What did he get out of the deal? Wet…and a nick to his neck. He was taken to the hospital with injuries which are not life threatening.

LOL! The gene pool was too cold for him, so he thought he'd try another.
