A Darwin Award Combo?

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

The original in Portuguese can be viewed here: http://odia.terra.com.br/rio/htm/geral_50938.asp

One dead and one heavily burned after trying do disassemble a grenade.

Two major idiots (João Paulo Souza, aka “Baby”, and “Jadson Jacques da Silva”) and two plain idiots (names unknown) decided to disassemble a grenade. They first try to use their car to run over, but with no success (perhaps a near miss?). The second and fatal try was with a hammer. They not only succeeded, they spread the pieces (the grenade and their own) all over the place, destroying 6 cars and the repair shop where they worked.

The two plain idiots were far away enough to survive and fled the scene.

They had 14 more grenades in a car parked nearby.

More info for Darwin! Funny how ONLY the Brazillian news gives ALL of the details! The write-up is accurate; these mooks DID try and run over the RPG BEFORE making the brilliant decision to use a sledgehammer! This one's going to make a fine DA, methinks! Arrogance, stupidity, the element of low-life...fun, fun, fun! Thanks for the additional info!

Yes, the new information is much appreciated. If nothing else, the names should help in any follow-up research. On first encounter I was bummed about the "bystander," but it seems pretty clear now that he was no such thing.
