Dumb and Dumber

2005 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Two brothers, with nothing better to do, decided to attempt a stunt worthy of the X-games. Getting into their van, they drove off in search of fame and glory. The one brother (25 years old) decided to get out of the moving van and attempted to skateboard down the street while hanging on to the van. Unfortunately, he fell of the van and his brother promptly ran over him. Medics performed CPR on the injured man at the scene, then took him to a hospital, where physicians pronounced him dead. No report on the condition of the skateboard or the dumb brother.

The accident occurred in the 8200 block of East Jamacha Road shortly before 4 p.m., according to San Diego police.

Neutral: Darwin Award
I guess, in San Diego, where they don't have snow, the truly mindless use skateboards instead of sleds.

Charles said:
Neutral: Darwin Award
What Daniel suggests without actually saying, is that we do have a lot of stories like this, only with people in the Northern states being dragged on inner tubes across the snow. But the skateboard does make it sufficiently different to make it worth a look.

Jack said:
Neutral: Darwin Award
I'll simply say that I agree with Daniel and Charles.

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
Too bad the other brother wasn't affected and can still pass on the families genes.

Hardback. 304 pages. Autographed.

The human race's most popular humor series returns with a brand-new collection of macabre mishaps and misadventures. Honoring those who improve our gene pool by inadvertently removing themselves from it, the Darwin Awards III shows once more how uncommon common sense still is.

Salute the sheriff who inadvertently shot himself--twice! Witness the insurance defrauder who amputated his leg with a chainsaw! Heed the story of the farmer who avoided bee stings by sealing his head in a plastic bag! Cringe at the man crushed by a branch he'd just severed... directly over his head!

123 new stories, 18 full-page illustrations, plus discussions of transgenic animals, the origin of life, and more.

Autographed by Author!
