This is a rehashed email and came out a few years ago. Looks like someone changed the date to 2008.

Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds.

Target practice is in order.

Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt ( Paderborn , Germany ) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief.

Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema stimulus package when the relieved beast unloaded. The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to evacuate 200 pounds of dung on top of him.

Yup. It’s an ancient one that’s sent around endlessly. For the REAL new “Darwin Awards” it’s easy enough to go to http://www.darwinawards.com/

So when the guy lost his foot, nature was selecting one foot as optimal I take it. I guess that would mean a smaller footprint in mine fields and such, and so improved “fitness”. Hmm. Sounds as plausible as global ... I mean climate change I guess.

Unfortunately those genes are alive and stupid; and will be spread like wildfire.

Thanks for the ping. Apparently these are old. I haven’t seen the current awards.

"I thought to make the list, these Einstein's had to die, no?"

Actually, the rule is; that they have die through their own stupid actions BEFORE they reproduce.

The older ones, while admitedly stupid, might have already reproduced, therefore without verifiable proof that they have not produced progeny, they should be disqualified.
