DARWIN AWARD: What's That Sound?
(2 August 2002, Kansas) Police said an Olathe man was struck
and killed by a train after his vehicle broke down on Interstate 35.
His attempts at repairing his car had failed, and he was calling
for help when the train engineer spotted him standing on the tracks.
The engineer said the man was holding a cell phone to one ear,
and cupping his hand to the other ear to block the noise of the train.

WRONG AND WRONGER
Ukraine | A man was walking his dog, when a Police Academy
cadet pointed out that dogs on a public street must be leashed
and muzzled. The men began to argue, until the dog owner
pulled out a military hand grenade and threw it to the cadet's
feet. His well-trained dog immediately fetched it back,
and man and dog met the same messy fate.
And now: The larch
RETURN TO TREES FAILS
Hawaii | Millennia after an evolving human species descended
from the trees, 30-year-old Joshua reversed the process and
removed himself from the gene pool while perched in a tree,
stealing a branch from an expensive hardwood. To his credit,
he didn’t make the mistake of cutting the branch supporting
him. Instead, he cut the branch directly above his head….
TIROL CHAINSAW SCAM
Italy | A poorly planned insurance scam ended in the death
of a man who had persuaded his cousin to sever his leg with
a chainsaw, in order to collect half a million dollars for
permanent disability.
HUMAN CATAPULT
England | A member of the Human Catapult Club climbed into
the bucket of a medieval trebuchet, and catapulted himself
out of existence when he missed the all-important safety
net 50 feet away.
TRUCK STOP
Bangladesh | Six highway robbers who sought victims by
blocking a bypass with their car at midnight, were crushed
by a truck that was unable to stop in time. Five dacoits
died, and a sixth was critically wounded. A cow was also
killed in the accident.
Und nun noch einen nur fuer Zaphod
THE SMOKING GUN
Wisconsin | Two drunks were goofing around when one
challenged the other to shoot him with cigarette butts
to see how it felt. The target died of two cigarette butts
to the head and one to the heart.

Das bestätigt doch zwei Theorien:
1. Hunde sind dümmer als Katzen
2. Hundehalter
sehen ihren Hunden nicht nur ähnlich, sie sind es auch
