There was an earlier thread about Americans getting more stupid. Point proven.

Are they sure it wasn't due to the beans they ate? 
Just one more reason not to smoke!

"They never told me that gas could explode. Fortunately, we have insurance."

This sounds like it could've been a "thinning the herd" event, but they lived. I guess lighting a cigarette in a car with a gas grill that's turned on doesn't count as "egregiously stupid," just "really, really stupid." I've learned something new here about the upper levels of stupidity. Stupidity in general has a sliding scale to it, from barely-consequential stupid to cause-of-death stupid.

Two things, the positive and the negative.
First the positive, a good reason to own a truck.
Second, a good reason not to smoke.
or is it the other way around?

I think wannabe would be more accurate. They wouldn't qualify for a real award, even Honorable Mention, because doesn't the Darwin Award include only fatal events? Maybe there should be a Wannabe Award. Yes, they tried to kill themselves, but failed, the losers. So we'll give them the Wannabe Reward, the losers. LOL

Ah "Thinning the Herd" I really like that analogy. Ya know there's well over 6 billion of us kicking around mother earth, if a few more do stupid dumb ass stunts, it's like the man says we
need folks like these to "Thin the Herd". I know people will say yer being mean spirited, Yeah I guess.

I just checked the official Darwin Award website for 2017 winners. One of the awards went to someone who accidentally shot his privates off. He did not die.

On a smaller scale, local police are BEGGING people to not leave loaded guns in clear sight in unlocked cars,etc.
People are also placing wallets and other items of value in clear sight. They actually have the nerve to report it to authorities.
