Gravity kills
Three Pinoys are among the, um, winners of the 2007 Darwin Awards! Not only are they not around to claim the glory, but their identities remain unknown. The Darwin Awards are given to individuals who improve the gene pool by removing themselves from it.
“(21 June 2007, Philippines) Three entrepreneurs planned to profit from stolen scrap metal. They entered a former US military complex and approached the prize: an abandoned water tank. Bedazzled by the potential upside, the three threw logic to the wind, and began to cut the metal legs out from under the tank. Guess where it fell? Straight onto the thieves. Their flattened bodies have not yet been identified.”
Meanwhile, a radio prankster known as the “Filipino Monkey” (no one knows his real nationality, he could be more than one person) is being blamed for triggering the latest diplomatic row between the US and Iran. The “Filipino Monkey” has been pestering ships in the Persian Gulf for years. This time he almost caused American warships to fire on Iranian patrol boats.

It’s good that they got killed. I once endured sitting beside 2 candidates for the darwin award for two hours in traffic. Some of their dialogue:”Nakakalasing pala ang wine” friend replies: “Oo nga akala ko beer lang ang nakakalasing.”, “Ang tiyaga ng traffic aide ano?Laging nASA gitna ng daan”. All these in full volume, as the two idiots were trying to converse with earphones stuck in their ears, listening to their ipods.
I would have wanted to strangle them.

there’s no need to strangle them really. they’d end up hit by a speeding truck because they forgot to remove their earphones while crossing the street…

Kind of reminds me of an episode in “My name is Earl” involving earl, his brother randy and a water tank. I won’t nominate earl for the Darwin, though.

If in Darwinian terms, those who have the capability to reproduce more offspring are deemed the fittest by Nature, look around. Who’s producing the most offspring? I assure you it isnt the Einsteins.

Ooops. I meant “If in Darwinian terms, those who actually reproduce more offspring are deemed the fittest…” Not ‘the capability to…’
