I am also greatly offended. :-) If I remember correctly this was the same
Darwin awards that were sent around by Peter Unmack last year. They were
kind of hard to forget :-) But what offends me most was that my favorite
one was missing. That would be (an honorable mention because he survived)
about the man who threw the gasoline down the drainpipe to burn up a poor
raccoon. He crawled down the pipe to light the gasoline and then blew
himself (ala human canon ball) over his house, to the delight of his other
drunken companions. I was greatly offended that this particular story was
omitted as it really was the crown jewel. Could someone please post that
one again? You know this all started when the american government started
making toaster and hair dryer companies put warnings on their products "do
not use in showers"! We got rid of these misfits before they got a chance
to breed and spread their "smart" genes. I think the same thing is going on
in Oz with all of those aquarium heater tests - what is it able to sustain a
5 foot drop without breaking? Next thing you'll know they'll start putting
those breath-a-lizer thingys on handguns! Da tide is going out on the
shallow end of the gene pool....
