READER CONTRIBUTION


________________

My thanks to Steve M for sending me the items below on Darwin Award contenders.
________________


The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honour that originated in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognise individuals who have contributed to human evolution by removing themselves from the gene pool by dying or becoming sterilised via their own actions.

The criterion for the awards states:
"In the spirit of Charles Darwin, the Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives. Darwin Award winners eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chances of long-term survival."
