Darvinova nagrada

Timing is Everything

2007 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin 

(9 December 2007, Indiana) Russell, 19, had a grudge against a semi truck abandoned on a rural property. And Russell was not the silent, brooding type. He was a man of action. He built a gunpowder/propane tank bomb, attached a timer, and planted it in the moldering truck. He retreated to a distant vantage point and waited for the fireworks.

And waited.

And waited, until he could wait no more. No boom? This was not right. Why was nothing happening? Russell approached the stubbornly intact truck--just in time for a close look at a cloud of rapidly expanding incandescent gas. Apparently the truck had a grudge against Russell, too.

Detectives found bomb-making materials at Russell's mobile home, and believe he was responsible for two explosions the night before his death, one at the mobile home park and another at a hobby shop. Although Russell will be missed, we are all a bit safer now.

The Alchemist

2007 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin 
 

(10 December 2007, Russia) As a child, Sergei promised his grandmother, "I will establish for you the elixir of immortality! I want you to live forever." As an adult, we find Sergei sitting in his college biology class, licking potassium cyanide off his palm. He had found the magic elixir: swallow poisons daily, to strengthen his body and protect him from death.

He regularly consumed small quantities of toxic mushrooms, arsenic, and cyanide salts, and urged others to join him during daring night-time excursions. "I shall not die," he said. "I have long drank poison, and my body today, nothing can kill."

After swallowing the KCN, he began to feel ill, and asked his comrades to fetch him some water. But instead of drinking plain water, he dissolved the rest of the cyanide powder in it, and consumed the solution.

Sergei was an intelligent 18-year-old, interested in chemistry and anatomy. He earned "a gold medal" and was "easily accepted into two universities, the Medical Academy and the Ural State University." But Sergei's scientific premise was flawed. Instead of immortality, he had discovered the elixir of mortality. He suffered convulsions, slipped into a coma, and died without regaining consciousness.

His father called Sergei a gifted chemist who died for the sake of science.

What Goes Up Must Come Down
2007 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin

 "What goes up must come down."

(20 June 2007, South Carolina) A passing cabbie found a 21 year-old couple Znaked and injured in the road an hour before sunrise. The two people died at the nearest hospital without regaining consciousness. Authorities were at a loss to explain what had happened. There were no witnesses, no trace of clothing, and no wrecked cars or motorcycles.

Investigators eventually found a clue high on the roof of a nearby building: two sets of neatly folded clothes. Safe sex takes on a whole new meaning when you are perched on the edge of a pyramid-shaped metal roof. "It appears as if [they] accidentally fell off the roof," Sgt. Florence McCants said.


This is a true Darwin Award trifecta: TWO people die, WHILE in the act of procreation, due to an ASTONISHINGLY poor decision. Bottom line: If you put yourself in a precarious "position" at the edge of a pointy roof, you may well find yourself coming and going at the same time.

Ironically, one of the deceased was named "Tumbleston."

Urbana legenda

What's Shakin'?

2000 Urban Legend

(March 2000) A mate's mate --- in other words, a builder -- was working on a construction job with an apprentice electrician. The builder was wearing a pair of worn-out blunnies on his feet, with holes in the toes. A rock got into his boot one day, and he steadied himself with a hand on the wall, then proceeded to shake his foot vigorously in an attempt to free the rock. Just then, the apprentice electrician walked around the corner and saw the builder shaking like mad. He immediately realized the man was being electrocuted! Remembering his trade school safety class, he grabbed a shovel, and with one quick swipe he smacked the shaking man across the forearm -- shattering both bones. Sometime's it's not the thought that counts!

One day, a farmer was heading back to his house after a hard day's work in the fields. A small stone had worked its way into his boot, so he leaned against the side of the house and tapped his foot on the ground to move the stone into the heel, where he could reach in and remove it. Just then, the farmer's wife came around the corner of the house. She saw her husband leaning on the fusebox with his foot hitting the ground, and thought he was being electrocuted! Leaping to his aid, she seized a nearby lump of wood and hit his arm with it. The farmer ended up with a broken arm and an apologetic wife.

(An anonynouys informant says, "The story about the mate's mate is true. I saw it in the UK Daily Mirror, but cannot recall when. The article included a picture of both men, one with plaster casts on his arms.")

opusteno, spusti lopticu! A sto tako mislis?

Mislim da Pametnjakovic Mladji pojma nema sta su Darvinove nagrade

U slavu onih pojedinaca koji su obezbedili dugotrajni opstanak naše vrste time što su se uklonili iz banke gena na veličanstveno glup način.

“Samo su dve stvari večite – kosmos i ljudska glupost, mada za kosmos i nisam toliko siguran. ”
Albert Ajnštajn

Prozvane po Čarlsu Darvinu, rodonačelniku evolucije, Darvinove nagrade se dodeljuju onima koji unapređuju našu banku gena time što sebe uklanjaju iz iste, pokazujući pritom koliko je zdrav razum dalek pojam za neke.

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

“Svet ne postaje pametniji. Morate da se pomirite s glupošću i učinite da ona radi za vas. ”
Frenk Zapa

Većina nas instiktivno zna da je fraza “veruj mi, upali ovaj fitilj”, recept za katastrofu. Dobitnici Darvinove nagrade to ne znaju. Većina nas ima toliko zdravog razuma da nam nisu potrebna objašnjenja javnih službi kao što je Upozorenje: kafa je vrela! Dobitnici darvinove nagrade ga nemaju. Priče koje su sakupljene pokazuju da zdrav razum nije baš tako česta pojava.
Ima ljudi koji misle da je normalno zaviriti u kantu s benzinom uz pomoć upaljača. Ima ljudi koji organizuju zabave na plaži da proslave dolazeći uragan. Mi pozdravljamo predvidivu smrt takvih usijanih glava dodeljujući im Darvinovu nagradu.
Nijedno upozorenje ne bi moglo da spreči evoluciju da se prikrade čoveku koji je ribu ubio strujom, a onda zavukao ruku u akvarijum da pokupi svoj ulov, a da prethodno nije izvadio žicu.
Darvinova nagrada pokazuje šta se dešava ljudima koji su zapanjujuće nesposobni da se izbore sa očiglednim opasnostima modernog sveta. Terorista koji pošalje pismo-bombu bez dovoljno markica, dobija Darvinovu nagradu kada otvori pismo koje mu se vratilo. Isto važi i za pecaroša, koji baci upaljeni štap dinamita na led, a njegov verni zlatni ritriver mu ga vrati nazad. Nagradu dobija i čovek koga uhvate da krade u crkvi.
Dobitnici Darvinove nagrade planiraju i izvode takve katastrofalne poduhvate, za koje bi i prosečno inteligentno dete reklo da nisu baš dobra zamisao. Oni se trude da sebe eliminišu iz banke gena na tako vanredno idiotski način, da njihove aktivnosti osiguravaju dug opstanak naše vrste, koja onda ima jednog idiota manje. Iskrenim ciljem i žrtvovanjem dobitnika, kao i spektakularnim načinom na koji umiru, oni se kvalifuju da im se ukaže čast da dobiju darvinovu nagradu.
