The local paper was full of nominees for the Darwin Awards today. Locally, some guy, in the process of running from the police at about 9AM in the morning, drove his Mitsubichi 3000GT sports car down a dead-end street and up the driveway at the end of the street. At the end of the driveway was the edge of a bluff that dropped off into some woods. The car hit the bump at the end of the driveway and launched itself 40 feet into the air and 300 feet downrange. The driver did not survive the flight. If you're interested, you can find the full story (with pictures) here On the very next page of the print version of the paper was an AP story about two teenagers who, while attempting to recreate stunts from "Jackass: The Movie", managed to kill themselves. One lost his life in Albuquerque, and the other died in Indiana. While I feel deeply for their parents, I still feel the need to submit their exploits for consideration for this year's Darwin Awards.
