A few years back, a friend used to send me, at the end of the year, a forwarded, mass-e-mail listing people who had qualified for or were potential Darwin Awards winners. I subsequently followed up the first time by checking out the website, which is simply, “Darwin Awards.” The premise is that the award honors those who have had the foresight(?) to remove themselves from the gene pool, thus lessening the burden on the rest of us.

Reading about these folks was always good for a chuckle, although it’s been a while since I’ve checked the website, or checked out the books. But earlier today, I ran across this brief item online– this guy is definitely a candidate for inclusion in this year’s pack of Darwin Award nominees.

If you’re a man, like me, you’re definitely wincing right about now… This one goes under “Sex” although I’m wondering if I should create a new category: “General Stupidity.”
