I'd go as far to say that the stupidity of the winners of this award would perhaps only be exceeded by those who've won a Darwin Award.
The Darwin Awards are given out in good fun, while this award is given out in deadly earnest. Pun intended.

07Jul: I realize now that I was thinking of the Ignoble Awards, not the Darwin Awards. :confused:

I don't find the Darwin awards at all funny, as they tend to involve killing at a young age, and often very painfully. Would you, if it were someone you knew, perhaps someone with a mental incapacity?

I think I must be suffering from brain fog. :ill: The awards I was thinking of don't involve anyone getting killed. Ahha, I just thought of it as I was writing this. I was thinking of the Ignoble Awards. :confused: :redface: I am definitely not amused by people getting killed. :grumpy:
