The Darwin Awards are perennially one of the highlights of my January. The lengths to which people go to “cleanse” the human gene pool is staggering. There has been no better example than this years winner:
[Two Belgian bank robbers]…used so much explosive to get their hands on the [banks] money that they destroyed the whole bank building.
When police arrived at the scene, they found one of them with severe head injuries, and rushed him to hospital where he died shortly after arrival.
Investigators initially assumed that his accomplice had managed a getaway, but the second one’s body was excavated from the debris twelve hours later.
For those of you who think this may be a gross indignity, consider this – the fewer of these dopes there are in the world, the less likely you are to get killed accidentally!
