The 2003 Darwin Award Winner

PADERBORN, GERMANY:

 

 

 

(Overzealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt fed his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally let it fly, and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop! Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him. "The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground, where he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him" said flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Erik Dern. With no one there to help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that happens. )

The Darwin award is basically awarded to people who had the stupidest way of dieing.

There's a whole site dedicated to them, somewhere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"A would-be mail-bomber blows up when he opens the letter he'd sent after it was returned for insufficient postage." Haha. Made me laugh, anyways.

There's also three books of them. I own the first two volumes. :P

alrighty then.... :-w

=D> Evolution shows more and more every year doesn't it?

yeh there's a website and books. I am a member of the forum there and i have all of the books.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The awards are given to people who through dieing or being otherwise ubable to reproduce aid the process of natural selection.

No it isn't, it's an incredibly sensible theory. :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, getting suffocated by elephant [cabbage]... is quite discusting and unfortunate.

Ugg...The spelling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bolognie = Bologna

 

 

 

Discusting = Disgusting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways...Elephant [cabbage]...great... -.-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soo sad. :boohoo:

Ugg...The spelling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bolognie = Bologna

 

 

 

Discusting = Disgusting

Noone uses perfect grammar.

 

 

 

Anyone can correct you.

 

 

 

You misused the ellipsis, they are a sign of intentional ommission of material, not prolonged feeling or emotion.

 

 

 

Don't be a grammar nazi if you're going to; use onomatopoeia incorrectly, or add objects to words to show emphasis. (i.e. "Soo")

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also advise staying away from the "theory of evolution" argument, it may cause a religious topic to spark up and end with the topic being locked.

It needn't be... :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And dragon, do you seriously expect everyone to use perfect grammar on the internet? You disgust me. :lol: :P

I love me some Darwin Awards. :D

People prove it every single day of exsistence. The stupid generally kill themselves off in some moronic fashion these days, rather than not being able to reproduce...Alcohol has solved that.

I don't expect them too, buy I would like to see them. It makes it a lot easier to understand the post. I sat here for a minute saying to myself, "Has that kid ever seen an Oscar Meyer weiner commercial before?"

2006 Darwin Award Nominee

 

 

 

Confirmed True by Darwin

 

 

 

(17 April 2006, England) There's always someone who thinks good advice doesn't apply to him. For example, if a doctor advises that the one thing you must not do is go near a flame, as you are going to be covered wtih a flammable material, most people would take this advice onboard, and not strike a match until the flammable material has been removed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, Phillip, 60, knew better than his doctor. Philip was in the hospital to treat a skin disease, said treatment consisting of being smeared in paraffin-based cream. Philip was warned that the cream would ignite, so he definitely should NOT smoke. But he just couldn't live without that cigarette."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smoking was not permitted anywhere on the ward, but Phillip took this setback in stride, and sneaked out onto a fire escape. Once he was hidden, he lit up... inhaled... and peace descended as he got his nicotine fix. Things went downhill only after he finished his cigarette, at the moment he ground out the butt with his heel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The paraffin cream had been absorbed by his clothing. As his heel touched the butt, fumes from his pyjamas ignited. The resulting inferno "cremated" his skin condition, and left first-degree burns on much of his body. Despite excellent treatment, he died in intensive care.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using the Darwin checklist:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.Reproduction -- if he has children, he's not having more.

 

 

 

2.Excellence -- this one I'll remember!

 

 

 

3.Self-Selection -- he was warned paraffin & flames don't mix.

 

 

 

4.Maturity -- At 60 I guess he was old enough.

 

 

 

5.Veracity -- Major UK news carriers covered the story.
