2008-11-21 02:31:00 Deaths That Lead to Improvement of the Gene Pool Ninth Place In Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys. Eighth Place A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who totally zoned when he ran, accidentally jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily run. Seventh Place While at the beach, Daniel Jones, 21, dug an 8-foot hole for protection from the wind and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach used their hands and shovels trying to get him out but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital. Sixth Place Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed as he fell through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his mouth to...

Darwin Awards Winner of 2000 - Death While Filming a Safety Video
2008-02-29 03:54:00 It seems that ironic safety related deaths are in abundance these days, taken from the 2000 darwin awards it seems a safety demonstration went wrong when, on camera, a man was demonstrating the proper forklift safety techniques. Unfortunately, he did not practice proper forklift safety precautions. He was thrown from the forklift while exceeding the proper forklift speed and of course, not wearing a seatbelt. Remember guys, wear a seatbelt! FOLLOW THE FORKLIFT SAFETY RULES

Brummy Bloke Gorges to Death on Fairy Cakes
2008-02-25 01:03:00 This Guys Tombstone will read "Choked to Death of 217 Fairy Cakes"An inquest is to be held on a man who died during a contest to see who could eat the most fairy cakes. The man, thought to be from Birmingham, collapsed at a Swansea nightclub during the event at the end of a party to raise funds for an art exhibition. Police say there are no suspicious circumstances following the incident at the city's Monkey Cafe and Bar during the early hours of Friday. I love the bit about no suspicious circumstances. So watch out mums when you plan those kids fairy parties.
2007 Darwin Awards
2008-02-21 16:34:00 Runner up #5:"Driving is not a time to be practicing your multitasking skills," remarked CHP spokesman Tom Marshall, commenting on a 29-year-old computer tutor's decision to drive along Highway 99 in California while working on his laptop. He drifted over the center line, and was killed by oncoming traffic. CHP officers found Oscar's computer still running, plugged into the Honda Accord's cigarette lighter.Runner up #4:June 2007, Illinois -- Two Valparaiso men tested their reflexes by playing "chicken" with a train. Which man could stay on the rail the longest in the path of an oncoming train? At the stroke of midnight, the contest was decided. The winner, aptly named Patrick Stiff, lost his life. The train continued on, as the conductor was unaware that it had hit anyone. Runner up #3:January 2007, West Virginia -- Three friends set out to dismantle a dilapidated barn one bracing winter afternoon. Speaking of bracing... One industrious man fired up his chainsaw and ripped throug...

Ford?s Easy Fuel System should stop a few Darwin Awards
2007-11-14 18:26:00 Just in case you weren't certain, putting the wrong fuel in your tank is a bad thing. But simply knowing doesn't stop tens of thousands of people from doing just that each year. This has created a new vehicle feature for Ford UK to work on. Starting with the Ford Mondeo and coming to the new Ford Focus in January, a new Easy Fuel System will prevent inattentive drivers from dumping the wrong liquid down the dark hole of a fuel tank. The system is mechanical, and takes advantage of the differing sizes of petrol and diesel nozzles in the UK. With more and more fuel types coming to pumps across the world (ethanol and biodiesel, in addition to standard petrol and diesel), making fueling as foolproof as possible is a good thing. Because for some reason, not everyone pays as much attention to fuel alternatives as we do here on AutoblogGreen. Anyway, Ford fuel systems engineer Stefan Buro (pictured) says in a release (after the jump) that "Ford's intention is to isolate the danger of en...
Candidates for the Technology Darwin Awards
2007-08-28 19:15:00 The Darwin Awards are normally handed out to people who manage to end themselves or their ability to participate in the gene pool in some spectacularly idiotic way.

Candidates for the Technology Darwin Awards
2007-08-28 19:15:00 The Darwin Awards are normally handed out to people who manage to end themselves or their ability to participate in the gene pool in some spectacularly idiotic way. But technology companies have some serious Darwinian impulses as well, and we’ve seen many examples of this over the years. If there were a competition for an all-time IT Darwin Award, my list of candidates might look something like this… Note that these aren’t just run-of-the-mill business failures in the computer industry. these are specifically companies that died or are just about dead through their own massive stupidity. Hence, a Darwin Award. #1. The Amiga - The Amiga stands forever in history as the Marilyn Monroe of computers - it was in the prime of its life, had everything in the world going for it, and flat-out committed suicide. Specifically, Commodore computers committed suicide by being mismanaged into the ground right after buying the Amiga Corporation. The Internet is still wailin...

In all 5 ...
The Darwin Awards, Recensione Film & Trama Dvd, Ultime Notizie
2007-06-05 17:44:00 Autore: Valerio Sammarco Oggetto: The Darwin Awards Inviato: Mer Giu 06, 2007 2:44 am (GMT 11) Pretesto stuzzicante e comicità nera per Joseph Fiennes e Winona Ryder. Facilmente dimenticabili Burrows (Fiennes) è un metodico poliziotto affetto da ematofobia da poco rimasto senza lavoro, specializzato nello studio dei profili criminali. Filmato 24 ore su 24 da un giovane studente di regia e ossessionato dai Darwin Awards - onorificenze assegnate via web a tutti coloro i quali riescono a togliersi accidentalmente dalla faccia della Terra nel modo più idiota possibile - si propone di collaborare con un'agenzia assicurativa per prevenire le ingenti perdite causate proprio dalle morti catalogabili come "casi Darwin". Ad accompagnarlo per gli States la bella Siri (Ryder), investigatrice dell'agenzia più portata di lui al rischio e all'avventura. Il pretesto stuzzicante e la partecipazione di interpreti secondari di ottimo livello (David Arquette, Juliette Lewis e Chris Penn, poi de...

Estendiamo i Darwin Awards come prove di ingresso.
2007-05-30 17:46:00 Io cerco di girare e vedere gente molto poco per evitare di programmare lo sterminio dell'umanità con Stewie Griffin, dacché -non è possibile- ovunque io vada si creano dei nugoli di acefali attorno. Stamani a un esame ho rivisto una ragazza bellina ammodino caruccia tanto graziosa che però non mi ricordavo come si chiamava. Ormai non me ne vergogno più e paleso agli altri che sono rincoglionita e non mi ricordo il nome ed incipio subito con: "Ma io ce l'ho il tuo numero? Calcola che non mi ricordo come ti chiami e quindi devi dirmi come ti hanno battezzata per farmi controllare in rubrica...". In realtà non sono rincoglionita. Ho una mente strettamente selettiva. Mi ricordo esattamente le cose dette all'una del 3 maggio, non sapendo magari che era quella data lì ma collocandole a casaccio nella memoria, ma non ricordo una beata fava del compito di oggi fatto alle ore 13. Cosa che Alessio recitava le domande a m...
