ok ok i have one

Quote
(15 July 1999, Bangkok) A circus dwarf met a disastrous demise, when he was swallowed by a hippopotamus in a freak accident in northern Thailand.

Od the Dwarf had just astounded the audience with a trapeze performance, when he dismounted onto a trampoline at a bad angle. He was launched sideways into the mouth of a yawning hippopotamus waiting to appear in the next act. Hilda the Hippo gagged and instinctively swallowed the small man while spectators continued to applaud, not realizing their tragic mistake.

Horrified circus members rushed to save the dwarf, but were unable to extract him from the traumatized beast. Veterinarians defended Hilda by pointing out that she was a vegetarian, and had never before digested a circus performer.

The trampoline is being subjected to forensic analysis.

The circus is now hiring.

Ok, for the record: The terrorist story is in the "Awaiting Verification" section of the Darwin Awards. The one Splinter posted was the one found in the urban legends - as is Zylon's referred-to JATO story. :D

Dang! I mean.....hello did the birds eat his brain or something? Who would be so stupid not to recognise his own EVIL package. But I don't find this quite funny. This is a tragedy even though he is Iraqi. It's tragic because he is so damn stupid.

Oh, so it's ok to laugh at the grisy death of someone, just beacuse they looked at the US in a threaening way?

It like saying:

"That man has just gone through a mincer!"
"It's OK, he's an arab."

For god sake!

Oh, gosh, wake up! Ever hear of someone falling into their own trap? If you set out to murder someone, and accidentally shoot yourself instead out of sheer stupidity, then you are stupid and the world can laugh at your evil being turned against it's source.

What Sandwich said. Politics doesn't really come in here, the guy was just a dumbass, and what's more, a murderous one, thus hard to sympathize with.

Post by: Stunaep on January 13, 2003, 04:05:32 pm
oh for pete's sake, this discussion is as pointless as the one about racism in LOTR.

 World's not fair. deal with it.

 I'd laugh at him if he were a white man, but him being an Iraqi, makes it all the more funnier. I'm not a pro-racist by any means, but it really has been overexagerated this past year, so I just wanted to express myself.
Title: Darwin Award to this man, please!!
Post by: Fineus on January 13, 2003, 04:20:02 pm
I laugh and pity him, dying is horrible period - but it's ironic that he killed himself using a weapon he created with a purpose to kill others. I call that justice, even if it's sad that someone died.
Title: Darwin Award to this man, please!!
Post by: Stryke 9 on January 13, 2003, 04:45:24 pm
Eh, happens to everyone.

Personally, I think expressions of sympathy or pity for the dead are an expression of sympathy or pity for someone who just cracked one. It happens to everyone, including oneself, so luck, good or bad, isn't really involved. If they dies particularly unpleasantly, that's another story, but the same applies for any extremely painful experience one survives- and in this case, I doubt the person in question did. Being blown to bits by a mailbomb would kill you almost instantly.

Anyone who while attempting to kill someone else manages instead to do themselves in is worthy of derision regardless of their ethnic origin. Sadly that story isn`t true but this one is.

Quote
From the Darwin Awards Site (http://www.darwinawards.com/index.html) 5 September 1999, Jerusalem    In most parts of the world, the switch away from Daylight Saving Time proceeds smoothly. But the time change raised havoc with Palestinian terrorists this year.

Israel insisted on a premature switch from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time to accommodate a week of pre-sunrise prayers. Palestinians refused to live on "Zionist Time." Two weeks of scheduling havoc ensued. Nobody knew the "correct" time.

At precisely 5:30pm on Sunday, two coordinated car bombs exploded in different cities, killing three terrorists who were transporting the bombs. It was initially believed that the devices had been detonated prematurely by klutzy amateurs. A closer look revealed the truth behind the explosions.

The bombs had been prepared in a Palestine-controlled area, and set to detonate on Daylight Saving Time. But the confused drivers had already switched to Standard Time. When they picked up the bombs, they neglected to ask whose watch was used to set the timing mechanism. As a result, the cars were still en-route when the explosives detonated, delivering the terrorists to their untimely demises.



Again I find it similarly funny when a member of the IRA blew himself up on a bus while transporting a bomb.

Oh, gosh, I remember when that happened. Yeah, each year here they usually have a vote to see when they should change the daylight savings time . :doubt:

Bah it's not quite "justice" It's the boomerang logic. We say in my country: If you mean evil to someone, the evil shall return to you. (I think it is formulated that way or something)
