I thought you guys would get a kick out of this story...<br /><br />Jet Ski Spree 2001 Darwin Award Nominee <br />Confirmed True by Darwin (26 July 2001, Nevada) Sometimes fate has perfect vision. Two men found dead at Lake Tahoe were presumed to be homicide victims -- one disfigured by severe facial wounds and the other apparently shot -- until investigators discovered that they were actually victims of their own larcenous tendencies. The men had stolen a jet ski from a marina but, unfamiliar with the lay of the land and piloting in pitch darkness, they crashed at high speed into a nearby dock. One man died instantly from a broken neck; the other crawled to shore where he, too, expired. <br /><br />Typical, huh? I call it population control for the idiot parade we see on the water.

Re: Darwin Award

I prefer to think of it as "Natural Selection" If your really that ****ing stupid, then get off the planet. Your not helping us at all.

You know who says this quote "STUPID IS, STUPID DOES!" GO! FOREST!<br /><br />And the dead guy they found on the beach all wrapped up in chains? Dupty said he was carrying more chain than he can steal.....

Re: Darwin Award

TxRiverRat the theory of natural selection has now been replaced by socialism. We are all subject to the "Human Condition" and make errors in judgement at some time in our lives. The death of these two men probably leaves two wives and maybe four young children all of which will now never participate in the American Dream. Your failing has already come. Somewhere, sometime you lost "compassion" and I doubt you will ever find it again. Don't look up them as thieves of a watercraft but as two men who had a deeprooted desire to commit suicide.

Nobody has mentioned the PWC. If it was trashed those fellows might have done the world a favor on their way out. :D <br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

Re: Darwin Award

Sony, Sorry but there is a difference between compassion for someone who's had a bad run of luck, and two people who are victims of their own stupidity. In the latter case, there is no compassion. <br /><br />JB - Amen brother..
