The Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives: by eliminating themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chance of long-term survival. In other words, they are cautionary tales about people who kill themselves in really stupid ways, and in doing so, significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race.
These individuals carry out disastrous plans that any average pre-teen knows are the result of a really bad idea. The single-minded purpose and self-sacrifice of the winners, and the spectacular means by which they snuff themselves, make them candidates for the honor of winning a Darwin Award. The terrorist who mails a letter bomb with insufficient postage deserves to win a Darwin Award when he blows himself up opening the returned package. As does the fisherman who throws a lit stick of dynamite for his faithful golden retriever to fetch and return to him. As do the surfers who celebrate a hurricane by throwing a beachfront party and getting washed out to sea.
Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards represent examples of evolution in action by showing what happens to people who are unable to cope with the basic dangers of the modern world. These ironic tales of fatal misadventure illustrate some of life's most important lessons.
so true! I have lived in so many places..... such is a military family life.... this is the longest I have been in one place - I am in a large city but on the outskirts, in the farm land area, but not on a farm, guess it's called the suburbs, in a city near the ocean but not on the beach.... near the Keys where the Atlantic and the Gulf Coast meet...
If I can get access to run background checks, credit checks, references and any other information pre-date...... I'll do it. I just have to find those pesky NSA guys again...
Obviously he filed the law suit.... it's a crying shame that the veterans has to go through the whole hiring a lawyer to present him in court, take the time to go through the hassle. Hope he countersues.
Would it be too politically incorrect to say, that jesus is in jail because it seems like a lot of criminals and fools get arrested, go to jail and then go before the judge to tell her (the judge) that they have been saved while in jail and will never commit a crime again. So is that proof that god, or his son exists?
although I read somewhere, sadly that he is not on the battlefield because usually when men or women are wounded on the battlefield they cry for their mothers.....
Oh Unicorns DO EXIST! ya just gotta be able to see the virgin next to it.
and on a sorta serious note, I think the scientist are working on this whole thing about proof because they are searching for the existence of black holes.... and by their very nature.......
awwww sweet Daniel, especially when sporting your mermaid costume, which I am still waiting to see..... Halloween is soooooo far away.
I think it is cyclical - up and down on the sense of humor and the trends going on in our various countries, and of course the political threads and religion and philosophy threads can send some folk onto a rant or two.
I'm trying to stick to the picture threads.... and I am awaiting you to post a really fabulous discussion about life, love and joy.
I'm waiting..... also if you can do it in a Scottish accent I would be ever so grateful!
Are your questions in your threads thought provoking enough? I will let the forum CS posters and viewers decide.
Your threads - wild west, not me, shopping list, 40-70, you welcome, get some, what you do, funky smell, black friday, to be or not..... are the latest.
Has anyone who reads the posts and never comments, read your threads and commented for the first time?
A dog gives unconditional love.... and is very obedient, which is more than I can say for the men I have dated over the years..... except my dog, Biscuit, who just laughed when I commanded him to sit, stay or fetch.....
A 90-year-old body-building, World War Two veteran who was shot in the face during a home invasion is being sued by the alleged burglar for firing back. Former Greenbrae deputy sheriff Jay Leone is accused of 'negligently shooting' 31-year-old Samuel Cutrufelli three times and causing him 'great bodily injury' as the older man defended his own home. Filing his claim yesterday in California, Cutrufelli, who is currently being tried for two counts of attempted murder against Leone, said that the injuries caused led to his financial ruin, the loss of his his home and the eventual dissolution of his marriage.

That is the thing - you can sue anyone anywhere in a court of law that doesn't mean it won't be thrown out and then you can be sued for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
I find it a little odd, in the general abstract concept - that this is not a discussion about guns on the streets of America.
Nationwide - I wonder how many encounters police face everyday where guns are involved? Add domestic violence and guns, include mental illness and guns and then just idiots and guns....
It might well be as the thread theme suggests - the wild west.
