Darwin Awards celebrate
the theory of evolution by
commemorating
the remains of those who improved our gene pool by removing
themselves from it in really stupid ways.
IQ and Longevity
A study in the British Medical
Journal shows a link between IQ and longevity. 2200 children were tracked from childhood to the age of 76. A 15-point disadvantage in IQ meant the child was only 79% as likely to be alive at 76. A 30-point
disadvantage reduced the odds to 63%.

Notice Fewer Ads?
and no pop-ups!
The website drains my budget every month
since banner rates fell. Last month I tried pop-ups to increase revenue, but it only yielded about fifty bucks. So I've removed all pop-ups, and limited banner campaigns. That means fewer ads for you.

We all know people too stupid to live. My aunt has a favorite stupid person story, set in Greece and featuring a shopkeeper who didn't know how to use a roll of tape. Eleven times the old woman went back to cut another piece of tape, and each time she laboriously pried the sticky end off the roll. My aunt could hardly contain her irritation. Too stupid to survive!
We make judgments about risk all the time: the distance of a jump, which wire to cut, deciding to walk under a ladder. The better able we are to assess risk, and take preventive measures, the longer we live. Common sense guides our choices... or sometimes not!
Your Brush with Stupidity.

"You won the lottery!"
California fugitives hoping to collect $1500 in lottery winnings walked into a police sting aimed at serving outstanding felony warrants. The "Fresno County Lottery Commission" sent 3200 letters, claiming to be distributing $78 million in excess lottery funds. The winners were instructed to present identification at the County Fairgrounds.
They arrived to find a balloon and streamer-festooned building, where they left their smiling relatives as one by one they were called into separate rooms to receive their surprise.
Uniformed officers were standing by to explain the hoax and arrest the befuddled fugitives. The operation served 81 felony warrants and 75 arrests, and a surveillance team arrested two men on suspicion of car burglary.

Personal Encounters
Grady's grandfather was sitting in the outhouse doing his business one
day. The family mule was scratching his rear on the outhouse wall.
Thinking to amuse himself, Grandpa pulled a long
splinter from the wall and stuck it in the mule's ass." Instead of
bucking around the yard as expected, the mule kicked back with
extreme force, collapsing the outhouse. Gramps had to be pulled from
the family history using a rope."
"My dad says he was driving along the road a while back,
and he saw a no-armed farmer kicking hay into a baling
machine. No need to wonder where he lost his limbs..." -drebrooks.
