A little post mortem advice to the bungee jumper.

"Measure twice, jump once(and live)".

A little fifth grade math would have helped here.

[MindBender26]

Reminds me of the cheerleader who was practicing for the "jump from the rafters" act at the Sugar Bowl halftime show a few years ago. Think domed (slopeing roof) stadium.

She took the bungee cord from the 50 yard line to the 30 yard line position for practice.

A fatal oops.

One "a-little-to-literal" witness we interviewed was asked "What was going through her mind" His answer ".... some Astroturf?"

[MD_Willington_1976]

A young Canadian man, searching for a way of getting drunk cheaply, because he had no money with which to buy alcohol, mixed gasoline with milk. Not surprisingly, this concoction made him ill, and he vomited into the fireplace in his house. This resulting explosion and fire burned his house down, killing both him and his sister. He must've been a Newfie... http://www.webpresspro.com/funnyfarm/category/newfie_joke_page.htm

Tamagochi key rings should require immediate registration with the Federal government. We can not have these dangerous weapons that masquerade as toys in the hands of an unsuspecting public.

For the record, there are LOTS of competing groups that hand out annual "Darwin Awards" these days. Some are more careful about fact checking than others. Urban legends are frequently presented as fact in a good deal of them.

[I still care]

This isn't very funny, but I remember in a post about the recent election a Democrat in Alaska committed suicide late election night by climbing up an electric tower and grasping the wires. I remember thinking he was a true Darwin nominee. He couldn't deal with the election results.

Stupid ......STOOOOOOOPEEEEEEED PING

Dead people in urgent need of a brain (and one live one in need of testicular implants).

[AgentEcho]

I've had to explain that I lost my a$$ at a casino once but I think losing your balls at a golf course is considerably harder to explain.

place marker, need to print this one out when I get home!!!

[Travis McGee]

#6 was no picnic either! SANDERS!

[M Kehoe]

If true, the world is a better place.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Yep. When you lose big at the casino, you can hopefully tell your wife that you can work some overtime to make up for it. How do you make up for losing your balls at the golf course, or even explain it?

("Well, honey, it was like this. My buddies and I were drinking heavily and they gave me $50 to use the ball washer to wash something that it wasn't designed to wash. One thing led to another...")

[IGNATIUS]

I believe this one of several years ago is in the urban legend catagory.

Reportedly some guy acquired several WWII JATO(jet assisted takeoff) rockets.He managed to hook them onto his 1957 Chevy and somehow ignited them on a remote Mohave desert hiway.

According to the CHIP's his vehicle became airborne after melting both tires and brakes.They estimated a terminal speed of 375MPH where a very large boulder interfered with the flight.

[Jonathon Spectre]

Darwin ping.

The last one is too painful to even contemplate. Just go get a gun and shoot me before I wake up.

[FLdeputy]

I'd like on the list if you wouldn't mind.

[Orbiting_Rosie's_Head]

. Employees in a medium-sized warehouse in west Texas noticed the smell of a gas leak. Sensibly, management evacuated the building extinguishing all potential sources of ignition; lights, power, etc. After the building had been evacuated, two technicians from the gas company were dispatched. Upon entering the building, they found they had difficulty navigating in the dark. To their frustration, none of the lights worked. Witnesses later described the sight of one of the technicians reaching into his pocket and retrieving an object that resembled a cigarette lighter. Upon operation of the lighter like object, the gas in the warehouse exploded, sending pieces of it up to three miles away.

This whole post is BS. How did the witnesses see this if the men were alone in a dark building? Even if they could see the lighter, if they were that close they'd be dead.
