Actually, one could get stoned to the point of catalepsy (sp?) without any drugs or alcohol, but it would take a lot of concentrated effort.

I'm sorry that I'm not up on all of the requirements to qualify for Darwin Award.
Being a father disqualifies you? What are some other "rules" that I might need to know?

Being a father disqualifies you? Uh...yeah. The whole point of the Darwin Award is that people take themselves out of the gene pool before they procreate.

He has a kid at 22 or 23, lives in a trailer, and he puts a lava lamp on simmer to make it go faster.
Something tells me he wasn't offered a scholarship to Johns-Hopkins Medical School.
