2006 Darwin Awards
January 7th, 2007
The 2006 Darwin Awards are out. Taking the top prize were two college students who suffocated inside a large, helium-filled balloon (repeat after me, “helium is not oxygen”). Runner-ups were (1) an electrician who used copper wire to fly a kite, which subsequently touched a power line, and (2) a man who used a sledgehammer to take apart a rocket-propelled grenade.
