Stupidity is often painful and can kill...

While perusing some blogs on my space this morning I came across a rather funny one citing Idiots in the news.

Have you ever heard of the Darwin Awards? The Darwin awards are compilations of news stories of people who really need to take a step back and reassess their thought process before doing something we like to call REALLY REALLY stupid. You can check this link here http://www.darwinawards.com/ to read some of the latest Darwin awards.


The following news stories are certainly worthy of said awards. Both of the below incidents occurred in Florida, and it just begs the question... Is there something in the water down there??? SIDE NOTE: We have family in Florida,(perfectly normal, intelligent family might I add) and I am certain they too will be left scratching their heads at these 2 unfortunate intellectually stunted individuals.


The first Gem: Man Found Dead, Stuck in Cat Door.

I could not make this up if I tried. Apparently this man and his girlfriend had a spat and she threw him out. He decided he would get back in by climbing in the CAT DOOR. Call me crazy, but I don't think any one person over the age of 2 has the ability to contort themselves enough to climb through a cat door, and even then it is a feat in and of itself.

I am not completely heartless- I am sad for the loss of life, yet it is somehow trumped by the mans obvious stupidity!

The second: To escape Cops, Man runs-- Into Gators Jaws

Everyone knows Florida has gators. You can find them pretty much in any lake through the state if I was informed correctly. Apparently it is "quite uncommon for a gator to attack a human" Uncommon or not, anyone with all of their faculties about them knows better than to mess with this:
We have to coexist with our wildlife, and in my humble opinion is, if you jump into a lake and upset a creature like the above you may not make it out in one piece or alive.

It appears the man had an accomplice and was robbing cars... I hope it was worth it! You can find the full story here: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breaking_news/story/306467.html

Have any interesting news stories that left you scratching your head flashed across your televisions lately? Inquiring minds want to know!



Until next time...
