Does anyone else here visit darwinawards.com?

If so, what is your favorite story.  I have a hard time choosing, but my favorite is either the guy who was fixing his motorcycle gas tank and emptied it by flushing the gas down the toilet, resulting in the sewer blowing up when he lit a match or the guy who tried to kill a mole on his property by sticking metal rods into the ground and attaching them to the power line.  I don't think I need to mention what happened to him.

No one favourite because there are just so many "good ones".

One does remind me of one of our former maintenance staff though.  In it 2 guys are cleaning the top of a tank in a refinery and are tied off.  When they just finish working together to throw off the last large piece one of them realized his safety line is tied to it.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
