If you haven’t come across the Darwin Awards before I’ll give you a quick summary before we dive into today’s list of moronic ways to die. Basically, in a nutshell, to summarise and be brief: the Darwin awards are a celebration of people who’ve died in retarded ways, hence removing themselves from the gene pool. So the Darwin awards are a kind of ‘thank you’ to people with weak brain genes for not pooping in our gene pool.

It’s also worth noting that these stories have been independently verified, so they are about as true as the internet gets.

Litigation was in the family blood it seems because after his demise, his family took up the mantle. They tried to sue the utility company and the pool supply store because they hadn’t mentioned to him that he shouldn’t prod electric wires with the massive metal pole.
