He didn't think to maybe kick it first? Even if he demonstrated the window strength before without problems, you'd think he would test it before he rammed into it with no chance of stopping himself, I think the title of "best and brightest" was misplaced on that guy.cleverlymadeup said:
Natural selection, how I love thee.
they're not all supposed to be funny or show stupidity, just about people who remove themselves from the gene pool, it's just a bonus that said self-removal from the gene pool is often really really funny and it assures us that natural selection is still working.stinkychops said:
this one for example [http://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1997-02.html]
Let's see:
-There were 2 kids in Vietnam playing frisbee with a land mine when it exploded
-A group of soldiers (don't remember country) were smoking in an ammo depot, and it exploded
-A bunch of teenagers were dancing around atop one of those large stationary gas tanks (think the big rig ones, only without a tractor), and it exploded
-A man, while very very drunk, put his testicles in a golf-ball washing machine.
-A couple hillbillies blew out a fuse on their truck and replaced it with a .22 rifle shell.
-A woman was stranded out in a blizzard, some few miles from civilization. She got out of her car and started to hoof it. Authorities found her dead a day or two later. Back at the car, authorities discovered a couple of blankets and various other survival gear.

Edit:
It is always fair to judge someone's intelligence when they do something as spectacularly stupid as the vast majority of the Darwin Awards. Some of them are from simply not thinking/circumstance, and for those, I agree. Those people are just really unlucky. The remainder, however, are just plain stupid.stinkychops said:

A tale all iPod lovers out there should heed, myself included.

You're right there. Common sense comes directly from people being taught to think. However, the people who don't teach their children common sense are almost universally those without. Thus, if we allow those without common sense to remove themselves from society, eventually we will run out of people without common sense.stinkychops said:

ok she IS stupid for several reasonsstinkychops said:
1. she let her 10 year old kid drive the car
2. she could have easily done it correctly herself
3. she walked behind a car while it was moving

i think the award would be funny, if it happened in my family, sure id be sad, but if they got a darwin award, id put it on the highest shelf with pride =D
i think they are a good idea becase some deaths are just funny enver though it is sad for those involved
