Re: Darwin Awards
I remember my Section Sgt read the gerbil story to us one year before Christmas while we were out in the field. It got a good laugh from us. You mean it isn't trueRangerLink wrote:This is a great site to laugh at some really stupid people.

My favorite one is when the African bushmen bought a potion from the local shaman that was supposed to render them impervious to gunshots. they had one of their buddies drink it then lined him up and shot and when to their suprise he died they went and whipped the shamans ass, might have killed him I'm not sure

You guys should check out "Lawn Chair Larry" the fucking guy floated up to like 20,000 feet in a lawn chair, and lived to tell about it!! That is one of the ballest things I have ever heard, pretty stupid, but pretty Hooah. (Fine line between stupid and Hooah).
A couple other good ones are; idot plays russian roulette with a semi auto.....dumb ass. And the letter bomber in Iraq that didn't put enough postage on the package and it got sent back to sender. You can figure out what happens next.
