www.darwinawards.com (note: making fun of people who kill themselves in a stupid manner)

If so, do tell why and post your favorite.

1. I like the guy that built a rocket car
but forgot to put in a way to stop it. He smashed into a mountain.
Sorry, no sympathy for someone who does something like that.

4. And Yet -- The Rocket Car Story Has a Basis in Fact
at least according to this guy. Beware -- it's long and very absorbing.

Didn't get nearly the results the Darwin e-mail had.
