What is your favorite Darwin Award? (for those who don't know what a Darwin Award is, here is a link.)

Mine has to be the guy who bobbytrapped his own house in an effort to kill his wife, then accidentilly killed himself with one of them.

Linky to award

You can pick any that you like, true darwin awards, honorable mentions, urban legends, or personal accounts. Even ones that once appeared in the slush file.

No links required, but if you have any, feel free to post them.

Either the person that died from getting buried in elephant poop, or the one that climbed the electrical tower, drank a six-pack, went pee, and was blasted off the tower when the electricity arced through his crotch.

The Driver who jumped out of a moving van to save himself (when the breaks failed), and left the passengers to die. He hit his head on the pavement and died while the passengers managed to some how stop the van with out injuring them selves.

Lawnchair Larry is by far my favorite.

I also like one about the 6-ft man who dove from the roof of his house into his 4-ft deep swimming pool.

Another favorite is about the janitor and his two sicko buddies who drag a gopher into the utility room and attempt to kill it by spraying cleaning solvent all over it. They use three whole bottles and the thing refuses to die...so eventually they pause for a breather and one of them lights a cigarette. **KABOOM** The three fvcktards are badly injured....but the gopher survives unscathed. :)

Saw a show where they debunked that. They strapped 3 huge model rockets onto a car and run it across a lake bed.

One I just remembered that I love is the guy who tried to kill a woodchuck that had crawled down a drainage ditch. They poured like 5 gallons of gas down the pipe and failed to light it. So idiot boy goes crawling down the hole and lights it. It goes boom and sends him human cannonball style (complete with scream and dopler effect) over the house and into the front yard. Very funny. Interesting thing is he survived.
