Although most of the winners won this honor behind their backs, they only need to remove themselves from the gene pool to qualify. In some cases, if a person loses his reproductive ability, he can also win a bonus.
A winner must show idiotic behaviors beyond common sense, such as throwing grenades (Croatia, 1987), jumping out of the plane without a parachute in order to film a steep descent (North Carolina, 1987), or lighting the fuel tank with a lighter to ensure that there are no flammable volatile gases (Sao Paulo, 2002).
1. Hammer of doom
(August 2006, Brazil) A Brazilian man tried to dismantle a rocket-propelled Grenade launcher. After fiddling for a long time, he tried to knock the Grenade down with a hammer. This time he succeeded, but the Grenade was blown up. 1 person (our poor people, of course) and six cars were destroyed, and a nearby repair shop was also affected by the explosion.
Afterwards, the police found 14 Grenade wreckage in a car. The police believe that the man tried to break down the weapon and sell it as scrap iron. No matter what happened before, there is no doubt that it is scrap metal now. As a result, the man succeeded.
So, if you sell scrap iron, it's still safe to steal the manhole cover ...
Stamp out cigarette butts
(UK April 2006 17) Some people always turn a deaf ear to some advice. For example, the doctor advises you not to go near open flames because you have flammable materials on you. Then most people will keep thinking about this suggestion until these flammable materials are removed, and they don't even dare to light matches.
However, Philip, a 60-year-old man, seems to think that he knows more than doctors. Philip was being treated in the hospital for his skin disease, which required a layer of paraffin ointment on his body. He was warned that this ointment was flammable, so he couldn't smoke. However, he is "inseparable from cigarettes"
Smoking was forbidden in the ward, so P smoke "cremated" him.
3. People who don't settle down
(Vietnam, 2006) Isn't there a saying that "a rolling stone gathers no moss, and it doesn't gather wealth when changing jobs"? Three people found a 500-pound "dud" on the top of the mountain, and they decided to take it back. So they "sought" Mr Newton's help, and they planned to push the bomb down the mountain. Gravity can save them a lot of energy (I really can't imagine that God would let such three people get together at the same time). This "rolling stone" exploded when it tumbled on the bumpy road. As a result, God took back three of his failed works.
4. The giant won
(Florida, September 2006) Remember the famous statue of David? David, the shepherd, knocked down the terrible giant in myth with a slingshot. However, using modern fishing guns to deal with the "monsters" at the bottom of the sea is another matter. A fisherman from Florida told us this.
Although 1990 issued a ban on fishing, hunting huge and strong marine fish was still popular for some time. These fish may weigh hundreds of pounds, but there are always some "sea hunters" who are keen on hunting them. Using a simple snorkel to dive into the water to hunt, these poachers' behavior is not only a disregard for the law, but also a challenge to safety knowledge. In this so-called "elite group", our finalist stands out because he ignores a basic common sense of fishing: he forgets to carry a knife that can cut the rope of fishing gun in an emergency. This determines that his next hunt will undoubtedly be the last.
Darwin Prize for Evolution in 2006
Why do some people think it is a good idea to kill a fish twice your age? Later, his body was found on the underwater 17 foot coral reef. The rope of the fish gun was wrapped around his wrist, and the other end of the fish gun pierced a huge dead fish. Hunting seems to be the opposite. The fish caught a man and dragged him into the deep sea.
There have been similar accidents before.
5. copper kite
(March, 2006 19, Belize City) It is said that Franklin flew his kite in a thunderstorm, thus discovering that lightning contains huge electric energy. However, some necessary protective measures still need to be taken. Franklin took protective measures (practiced by his uncle) to avoid accidental electric shock.
Kennon, 26, also did Franklin-style experiments, but there were no protective measures. When he flew a kite, he found that the kite string was too short, so he found a copper wire as an extension cord. The copper wire and the high-voltage line "exchanged feelings" well, so Kennon was knocked down by a huge current. Surprisingly, Kennon is an electrician.
6. The joy of life (death)
(June 3, 2006, Florida) Jason and Sarah were both selected for the Darwin Prize for their deep breathing. At the age of 2/kloc-0, they were found dead in a huge, shriveled advertising balloon, and the forensic doctor told their families that excessive inhalation of helium led to their death.
When a person inhales helium, lack of oxygen in the blood will cause a person to lose consciousness immediately. Some supporters of euthanasia believe that inhaling helium is one of the best euthanasia methods. Jason is a college student and Sarah joined a community college. However, it is obvious that their education did not tell them the importance of oxygen. They took off a big balloon filled with helium and climbed in. Their last sounds were their screams and laughter (helium, also known as nitrous oxide, was once used as an anesthetic).
The sheriff declared that they showed no signs of being drunk or taking drugs. Sarah's mother said, "To tell the truth, she is very naughty. Always like to joke, this joke killed her. "
7. floating beliefs
(Gabon, August 2006) A 35-year-old priest insisted that as long as he has firm beliefs, people can walk on water. Whether he believes it or not, he will try it himself and show the believers the correctness of his theory and the firmness of his belief. So, the priest walked into a big river, and it took 20 minutes to get there by boat. I want to tell you that he can't swim.
8. Laser sword
Two young men imitated the scene of Luke vs Darth Vader in Star Wars and made two laser swords with fluorescent tubes. Nothing at first, but these two 17, 20-year-old boys turned on the fluorescent lamp, poured some gasoline in it, and then lit it. It is conceivable that a Star Wars-style explosion followed. 1 people died, and 1 survivors told their creative but idiotic role-playing.
Some people say that 17 is too young to meet the requirement that Darwin Prize finalists must be adults, but I disagree. 17 is the legal age for driving. But since you know how to refuel the car, you should also know that gasoline can't be ignited.
Here are some finalists for the consolation prize. Although they did some stupid things, they did not succeed in being eliminated by nature in the end. At this point, they "failed" [/color]
1. Flyswatter
(April 2006, California) A teacher gave an impromptu speech on safety to 25 students. For some reason, he thought that a 40 mm shell he found on a hunting trip was a "dumb bomb" and took it back to the podium to make a paperweight. Obviously, the teacher is ready to be shortlisted for the Darwin Prize.
It was a sunny morning and a bug flew to his podium. Shoot it to death with paper? Drive it away? Let it continue to enjoy life? Continue the class? Our teacher chose a completely different method. He raised his "dud" and hit the bug.
The impact produced an explosion, and shrapnel hurt his hands and arms. No one else in the class was hurt, but what comforted the teacher was that the bug was successfully killed (I think it was killed by an explosion-_-).
Is this teacher really taking a safety class?
2. Absolute loyalty
(May 26, 2006, Malaysia) A woman found another woman's information on her husband's mobile phone, and a war at home was staged. 4 1 year-old husband brandished a knife into the palace to prove his innocence. Before that, his sex life must have ended. If the story ends here, then this gentleman is likely to be a finalist for the Darwin Prize, because he meets the requirements that the finalist cannot reproduce. However, modern medicine is always amazing, and the doctor helped him find his "little brother" (but I think this lady will soon perform war at home again because she complains about her husband's sexual ability). Therefore, this gentleman's heroic, but ultimately "failed" behavior can only be shortlisted for the consolation prize of Darwin Award.
3.bacon
(Stockholm, 2006) The situation is good. Two men, 1 woman and a dog feel less happy. A quiet sunny day changed the barbecue dinner originally planned on the grass to the balcony of the apartment. But the elevator in the apartment obviously doesn't approve of this change. It stops between the fourth floor and the fifth floor.
So the barbecue site changed again. For people who like barbecue, the aroma of barbecue makes life so beautiful. However, in a closed and unventilated environment, these "smells" seem to be no different from "deadly smoke". Fortunately, these barbecue enthusiasts finally escaped, and emergency personnel provided them with oxygen masks in time. So I can only give them a consolation prize.
After this incident, I don't think that puppy will eat bacon any more.
4. snakes in the grass
A tourist in Scotland is going to catch a grass snake to take pictures of his brother. Just as he was about to touch the snake, another black snake came into his sight, so he also arrested the snake. This is a black poisonous snake, the only poisonous snake in Britain. The poisonous snake roughly bit the 44-year-old man. Fortunately, he recovered in the hospital.
Why is he so reckless? Because he thinks there are no poisonous snakes in Scotland.
Friends, the most exciting moment of the year has arrived. Now, the 2005 Darwin Prize for Evolution is awarded to those who have walked the slowest in human evolution, and they have made the torture and stress of our lives less unbearable.
The winner of this grand prize is:
James Elliot-In Long Beach, California, as a potential robber, when he pointed a.38 caliber revolver at the victim, his gun got stuck. At this time, he made a very constructive move-he carefully looked at the muzzle and pulled the trigger at the same time-this time the gun didn't jam.
The following people are strong competitors for this award:
1. A Swiss hotel chef had his finger cut off by a meat cutter, and he angrily demanded compensation from the insurance company. The insurance company suspected that it was his fault and sent a representative to check the machine. The representative tried to operate the meat cutter himself, and he also lost a finger-so the chef's claim for compensation was approved.
A man struggled to shovel snow on the streets of Chicago for an hour in a snowstorm, and finally cleared a parking space for his car. When he was driving, he found a lady taking his place-understandably, he shot her.
Because he stopped at an illegal bar to drink, a Zimbabwean driver found that all 20 mental patients on his bus had escaped, and he should have sent them to a mental hospital in bulawayo. Afraid of being criticized by the leader for carelessness, the driver drove to a nearby bus stop and promised to take every passenger for free. He sent these passengers to a mental hospital and told the hospital staff that these "patients" were very excited and full of hallucinations-a move that was not discovered until three days later.
An American teenager was sent to the hospital because his head was badly hurt by the coming train. When the policeman asked him how he was injured, he said he just wanted to see how close his head could be to the moving train-and then he fainted.
A man walked into a convenience store in Louisiana, took out 20 yuan paper money and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash register, he showed his pistol and asked the clerk to give him all the cash in the cash register. The shop assistant finished it quickly. He took the money and soon disappeared, but he left his 20 yuan banknotes on the counter-he took 15 yuan. In fact, this has caused a legal debate: if a person threatens to give you money with a gun, is it a crime? )
Therefore, people are really not as smart as monkeys. I don't know how it evolved, so it's hard to get confused >>& gt.
6. A young man in Arkansas seemed to want to drink beer, so he threw a hollow brick at the window of a liquor store, intending to break the glass and grab some bottles of wine to escape-he didn't notice that the window was made of plexiglass, and the hollow brick bounced back and knocked him unconscious. The whole process was recorded (I wonder if this guy will take the store to court).
7. The crime column of Annarbor News reported that a man in Michigan walked into a fast food restaurant with a gun at 5 am and robbed it. The clerk refused to open the cash register without ordering. So the man ordered a fried onion ring, but the clerk said that breakfast was not served-the man was deeply depressed and left disappointed.
Special award of the year
On the streets of Seattle, the police found a man who was seriously unwell curled up next to a car. The man later admitted that he tried to steal gasoline with a siphon-but he put the other end of the straw into the dung bucket of the garage by mistake.
Pee and play with self-sawing.
A group of people in Poland were drunk. They all stripped off their clothes and said they would play "men's games". At first, everyone just hit each other on the head with frozen plants. Later, a man picked up a saw and sawed off a small part of his foot. A 30-year-old farmer doesn't believe it. He grabbed the saw and shouted, "Look at me!" Wave the saw and cut off your own head.
Show your ass on the plane
Three Brazilians' light planes met another plane. They look very playful and want to show their asses to people on another plane. Unexpectedly, the plane crashed out of control. As can be seen from the remains, their trouser legs have been pulled to their ankles.
Rattlesnake ball
Two men in Alabama, USA, played hide-and-seek with a deadly rattlesnake. One of them was bitten by a snake several times, and the other was taken to hospital for emergency treatment.
Peek into trouble
A Mexican jailer peeks at the intimate scene of a prisoner being visited by his wife on the roof of a prison. During the trip, he tripped over the ventilation hole, fell 8 meters from the skylight and lay in the bed of the prisoner couple.
Gasoline cocktail
A young Canadian wanted to make a cheap drunk law, but he mixed gasoline with milk. After drinking, he was extremely unwell and fell to the fireplace. He also caused an explosion, burned down the whole house and killed his sister and himself.
Burning lava lamp
A man in Washington, USA, cleverly put a failed new lava lamp on the stove to heat it. As a result, the light went off and glass fragments splashed all over the man. One of them was inserted into his heart, and the man died a few minutes later.
Deadly bell
In North Carolina, a man was awakened by the ringing of a telephone in the morning. He tried to reach for the phone, but he took the wrong.38 pistol and put it to his ear and shot him to death.
Gas ignition
There is a smell of gas in a warehouse in Texas, USA. After the employees were evacuated, two engineers went in to investigate. One of them lit the lighter because the warehouse was too dark. As a result, the explosion shattered them all, except the lighter.
Gun store robbery
A thief in Washington, USA, saw a police car parked outside his gun shop, entered the shop and saw the police, shouting robbery and fired several shots. Police, shop assistants and customers in the store took out pistols in return and sent him to the west.
The stupidest pig jumps
A clerk of a fast food restaurant in Virginia, USA, tried to play stupid pig jump on a 23-meter-high railway bridge, but he fell to his death on the sidewalk below because the rope used was longer than the height of the bridge.
Inverted interchange
At 2: 45 in the morning, two drunks in Seattle, USA, suddenly got emotional and wanted to hang upside down on the overpass over the road 13 meters to fight for endurance. However, the winner was too tired to get up. Even though his friends tried their best to help him, he still fell dead on the road.
Don't fasten your seat belt.
A 2 1 year-old student in Nebraska wrote a letter to the local newspaper, opposing the introduction of the new seat belt law, claiming to protect his right not to buckle his seat belt. A few weeks later, he died in a car accident because he didn't fasten his seat belt, and two passengers in the same car were only slightly injured.
Young-Nam lost and castrated himself.
The difference between this year's grand prize winner and the past is that he is actually a living person! It is reported that the champion's name is Hugh Yixi, and he is British. Last February, he bet with his friends that Wales would lose to England, and said that once he lost the bet, he would immediately cut off his penis. His friends thought he was just joking. Unexpectedly, Huey really lost after the result of the game came out. In order to fulfill his promise, he ran home without saying anything and castrated himself.
Huey's luck is really bad. This is the first time that Wales was defeated by England at 12. Because Huey really infertile herself, she is fully qualified to win the Darwin Prize. After the judges voted, he was named "the first fool in 2005" and became the first living person to win the prize.
runner-up
The detonator was inserted into the mouth.
It is reported that many wonders that were shortlisted for the Darwin Prize in 2006 are amazing. If the number of votes ranks second, it is 2 1 Vietnamese youth. In March 2005, the man was drinking with friends in Hanoi. After three glasses of wine, he began to get drunk. He took out a small old detonator and said it wouldn't explode. My friend deliberately raised the bar and said he didn't believe it. He immediately put the detonator in his mouth and asked his friend to plug the two leads into a socket. With a bang, the man's cheeks suddenly exploded and all his teeth were blown away. He was "unrecognizable" and died on the way to the hospital for rescue.
second runner-up
Bury a mine and blow yourself up.
The third most popular poll was another strange thing that killed him-a Zimbabwean in Africa made a living by planting corn on the roadside. But to his annoyance, local elephants often pass by. Every time they pass by, elephants like to run to the corn field to taste two bites of corn, and the corn field is trampled in a mess. The man couldn't bear it, so he went to an abandoned old minefield nearby and dug five mines and buried them, trying to teach the elephant a lesson. Unexpectedly, one day he accidentally stepped on a mine with one foot, and as a result, he "learned" and lost his life. (Yuan Hai)
First place: ups and downs (southern California, June 20, 2007)
Before sunset, a couple of 2 1 year-olds were found lying naked on the road by passing drivers. The comatose couple were taken to the nearest hospital, where they went to the west. Experts can't explain what happened to them. No witnesses, no traces of clothes, no car wreckage. Investigators finally found a clue on the roof of a nearby building: two neat piles of clothes, and nothing else. "It looks like they fell by accident," said police officer Florence McCants. When you have sex on a pyramid-shaped metal roof, safe sex takes on a new meaning.
This is a standard Darwin Award winning streak: two deaths, in reproductive behavior, and in an amazing way.
Second place (May 2, 20071day, Texas)
Michael is an alcoholic. And he is not an ordinary alcoholic, but an alcoholic who likes to drink through the rectum. His wife said that he likes enema and often drinks it like this. The result is the same: drunk. The mechanical shopkeeper couldn't enjoy wine with his mouth because of his sore throat, so he decided to enjoy his favorite drink by enema. That night, Michael had a good time. Two bottles 1.5 liters of sherry, about 100 ounces, flowed into the old place. When we drink too much or get drunk, most of us stop drinking. However, Michael and Dodo (later drunk) left alcohol in their rectum and it was still absorbed. The next morning, he hung up. The 58-year-old man found a solution. ..
Third place "Gravity still exists." (Czech Republic, 28 July 2007)
A gang of thieves tried to steal metal scrap from an abandoned factory in Cladeno. Unfortunately, they chose steel beams to support the roof. When the support was removed, the roof collapsed, causing two deaths and three serious injuries. (June 2, 2007, KLOC-0, Philippines) Three entrepreneurs decided to make some money from the stolen scrap metal. They entered the former US military base complex and approached the target: a waste water tank. They saw the water tank dazzling. Honesty has hit them, and their smashed bodies have not been distinguished.
Fourth place (Guadalajara, Mexico, July 27, 2007)
Jessica, 24, realized that she needed to go downstairs to get something. Instead of using the telephone or going downstairs, she decided to use the freight elevator passage as a means of communication. So Jessica put her head into the elevator shaft and yelled at the people downstairs. Anyway, she didn't notice that the elevator below was rising towards her. If the elevator is descending, it may be understandable if she can't see it. But apart from stupidly sticking her head into the elevator, if she looks down, if the elevator and the bones are solid, we have to say that the elevator won. Jessica's family will miss her, but the gene bank will not.
Fifth place (Serbia, August 2007 19)
It is well known that alcohol affects judgment, and it is also known that carnivorous wild animals and humans will not mix together. What happens if you combine the three? Maybe you will treat others, and bears and beer will have a fatal result. The 23-year-old man accidentally fed himself to Martha and Misa in Belgrade Zoo. The person in charge of the zoo commented, "Only fools and retarded people jump into bear cages." The young man was found naked in the bear cage, scarred and surrounded by some mobile phones, bricks and beer bottles. His clothes are in good condition. This shows that he approached the bear cage naked selectively. Because he didn't have much education, Xiong suspected that he was up to something and made a fatal judgment. Later, when people tried to retrieve the young man's body, Martha and Misa made an "angry response". But in the end, they gave up the delicious spoils. We want to know how many bottles of beer were exchanged for the body.
Words are limited, so you can't give too much. Give me the address, and you can read it yourself:
