The Darwin Award Archive

With a world full of interesting and dumb people I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where we can post a darwin award everyday. Anyone who wants to add one at any time can. There can also be multiple darwin awards per day. In the end this will be a thread of examples of people doing stupid things and a place to come to laugh at your fellow man or woman.

I will start off with this story I heard on the local news this evening. Apperantly a man who lives in an apartment complex thought it would be a great idea to cook a squirrel with a propane torch.

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Authorities say a blaze that displaced dozens of people from a southwest Michigan apartment complex may have been sparked by a resident trying to cook a squirrel with a propane torch.

Fire Chief Jim Kohsel tells MLive.com that the resident apparently planned to eat the animal and was burning off its fur on a third-floor deck at the building in Ottawa County's Holland Township when the fire broke out Wednesday. Flames spread to the roof. Kohsel says eight apartments are destroyed and others damaged.

Hi Jimmy,

Great idea for a thread! Yeah the dumbutts we can laugh at - and I do laugh OFTEN! But in all seriousness when their ''dumbness'' affects our lives , it is NO LONGER FUNNY, is it? It sucks!

A blowtorch to cook a squirrel..wow!

I've got one... up for award! Our city councilmen - sorry no link to this fact but these Dumbutts here are costing us out the rear. Had a million dollar or so project renovation and guess what? They forgot to check if all was okay with the foundation, the sewage etc. They completed the project - Now we have a collapse of the system. Sewage is running underground , for a while now, and we know not where. Of course they are keeping this on the back burner. But they take the cake and should win the prize!!
Not only that - but our public water /sewage system is over 13 million in debt ! How's this for proper management?! Grrr... we need a rant section....lol.
