I hope this has not been previously posted, I searched and didnt find it.

If you are like me, you wait all year for these.

Cheers,

Upon moving the truck, they found John under it half-naked, scratches on his body, a holly stick in his rectum, a knife in his thigh, and his shorts dangling from a tree branch 25-feet in the air.

"Death by natural causes."--Janet Reno.

I hate to say this, but these are all old, recycled awards from past years.

[LiteKeeper]

SPOTREP

[knews_hound]

that is knews to me.

I have read the Darwin Awards since the first year and dont recall seeing these before.

But then, I am far from flawless, as Mrs. Knews Hound would be happy to tell you....

Cheers,

[theDentist]

Yup. Reruns.

[DoctorMichael]

A hearty, Darwinian Bump to all those who participated!

"Death by natural causes."--Janet Reno.

And she'd be right. What's more natural than getting killed by your own stupidity?

[knews_hound]

Thought you should see this....

[zlala]

Ah, if only they had boated on the Columbia River in the Gorge before trying to go over the fence. It's easy to see from the river side that jumping over the fence isn't a good option.

I have read the last one before, so either this is a repeat of a previous year, or there are some really stoopid people attending Metallica concerts.

[grapeape]

You ever wonder if people just start making these things up? It seems like they are getting more bizzar each time I read them.

[Poohbah]

Yup, I first saw these back in 1998 or so.

These are the 2002 Darwins.

Read this via email a couple of weeks ago. Can't believe how stupid people get. No wonder the human race needs protection from its own self. Being a Washingtonian and observing the antics that got those two jokers the first place award is not reassuring.

[Mike Darancette]

I've always considered Palistine to be a rich source of Darwin Award candidates.

[Spiff]

These can't be the OFFICIAL Darwin Awards. The "winner" is an old one. Besides that, two of the awards were given to people who are not dead nor did they permanently remove themselves from the gene pool. You could argue that the guy with half a face will most likely never reproduce as he is probably very hideous-looking, however....

[MattinNJ]

Somebody call an ambulance-no I'm series-I can't breathe.

[knews_hound]

Dont shoot the messanger here!

I am sorry if the list was not what it claimed to be.

*knews hound hangs his head in shame*

[hchutch]

My favorites were the guy who picked the wrong store to begin his armed robbery career, and the still unidentified driver of a Chevy Impala...

:)

[Poohbah]

They're pretty sure the Impala story is an urban legend.
