Don't ride an ultralight in the nig

Sorry about sending the reference in spanish, but I couldn't find it english.

A man was killed yesterday night when the ultralight plane he was driving crashed into the wires of a high power line. At that time (almost 23:00 PM) it was so dark that it was imposible he could see where he was going.

The plane fell to ground in flames after the crash, and this Darwin Award nominee burnt to death.

What on earth was this idiot thinking by flying an ultralight in the middle of the night? If he knew the first thing about flying he'd realize you need navigational instruments to fly at night, and ultralights don't have such instruments. Thanks, Alberto!

Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest

Hardback. 304 pages. Autographed.
$15
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.
