Darwin Award of the Week

A valuable lesson was learned by a Darwin Award candidate this week. An unidentified Colorado teen had the bright (and explosive) idea to combine a pile of small fireworks into a big one by shredding them up in a coffee grinder. He should be receiving his award after he is released from the hospital.

The Fire Marshal postulates that the electric coffee grinder probably caused enough friction to cause the explosion.

[Brilliant]

If he lived, he doesn’t qualify for the Darwin Award. It appears he can’t do anything right.

[Zeppo]

Look for a new "do not use for grinding up fireworks" safety label, coming soon to a coffee grinder near you.

[wolfpat]

You’re right. Darwin Awards are reserved for people who advance the species by removing themselves from the gene pool.

[Joe Boucher]

that’s a my boy.
I’m so proud

[tet68]

He’s been through the mill...
A product of our government school system
no doubt.

[NathanR]

If he destroyed his testes, he removed himself from the gene pool

[MV=PY]

He couldn’t even succeed in making an ash of himself.

[magslinger]

It is not necessary for the recipient to die in order to be eligible for the Chuckie award. The candidate must merely remove himself (herself) from the gene pool without having reproduced.

[wolfpat]

Good point.

Dear unidentified Colorado teen,

I'm betting $20 you slept through science class most of the time.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Maybe the teacher skipped the lesson on anything regarding coffee grinders....LOL!

[Joe Boucher]

come on tet68,
should remind you of our rotc ordinance clowns

[smokingfrog]

[labette]

Hmm.

My coffee has been tasting funny . . .

[glock rocks]

um...

The Fire Marshal postulates that the electric coffee grinder probably caused enough friction to cause the explosion.

... must not tell Darks... his coffee is already explosive.

[married21]

Ha! Love a bad (good) pun.

[garjog]

[Darksheare]

Coffee grind some of my coffee?
Sounds like a plan!

[Apogee]

When I was rather young, I read in a book about the residents of a valley competing to see who could hit a pile of powder on an anvil first thing to ring in the holiday.
So, day after Fourth of July, I gathered all the fireworks I could find on the street, unrolled them and put the powder into a pile, and threw a rock at it until it rocked my world.
