Yeah - he'll die of a massive panic attack when trying to figure out if he should approach a girl.

Is there anybody who doesn't know about the Darwin Awards and their website?
 
THE GAME didn't until recently.

I bet people living under rocks don't know about it. They will when Comcast starts installing cable lines under these rocks.

if you can check the last thread i made, this would prolly happen to me too............:(
 
Heh, that's probably false. I don't think an engine can fall out of the bay. There is like stuff there preventing that from happening.

I was curious about that after i posted that. Aren't the motor mounts kinda "L" shaped so the engine cuase only be pulled out from the top and impossible to pull out from the bottom?
 
You can drop a motor out through the bottom of the engine bay. Sometimes it's easier, and more convenient, than pulling it out of the top - especially if you don't have a "cherry picker."
 
They call me the cherry picker. Oh yeah!

Isn't there like a bunch of stuff (yeah, stuff) in the way keeping one from removing the engine from the bottom?

Yes - stuff like axles, transmissions, suspension, and stuff. It still doesn't take very long to do.
 
Twice the Pain
2001 Honorable Mention
Unconfirmed by Darwin
(3 August 2001, Pennsylvania) Phil, a curious Philadelphia resident, wondered what it felt like to be hit by a bullet… so he took a gun and shot himself in the shoulder. This sent the ambulance racing to Phil's residence for the second time, to treat another gunshot wound. Why did he do it, not once but twice? In Phil's own words, "I wanted to see if it hurt as much as it did the first time."
 
If he died, he would take to the grave with him the secret of whether or not it hurts to be shot by a bullet.

Thank god he lived! Darwin award, no. Nobel Prize, yes.
 
I like the local story here in LA about some Mexican guy who ran from the police. They ordered him to stop, but he kept on running into the fence of an electric storage plant for the city. He started to climb the fence, but a cop grabbed him just in time before he touched one of the transformers that was near the fence.

The cops started to say how lucky he was that he stopped him because if he had reached for that transformer to make his escape, he would have electrocuted himself to death. After saying this to the Mexican, the cop was putting him in handcuffs when the Mexican hit and then pinned the cop to the ground, grabbed a rock and smashed it on the cops head and knocked him out cold.

Then the moron starts to climb the fence again, reaches for the transformer, and fries himself on the fence. The reason, the Mexican didn't understand english, and the warning signs on the fence were in english.

The sad part is, his wife sues the city and settles out of court for 1.3 million because the city was negligent for not posting signs in spanish, and the cop lost an eye, then he quit his job. Thank God there is a law now in California that prevents suspects, and their families, from winning lawsuits if they get injured or killed while committing a crime.
