    There was also a Darwin Award winner nomination in my country. There was a robber who tried to hide from the angry mob while he stop under the hole behind a house. Thinking it was a perfect hiding spot, the robber get inside the hole. But unknown to him, the hole was actually led to septic tank which was full of excrement. So he either died from drowning from the excrement or from asphyxiation.

      You're right, you didn't steal that quote from Einstein. He's not the one who made the quote. The quote was originally made in French by Alexander Dumas, well before Einstein was born. It was translated into English in a couple of forms, but that was the one that stuck and proliferated. Nearly every interesting quote is attributed to Einstein these days. Almost none of the quotes attributed to him were actually his.

    In college I had a friend who drank a full pint of Lord Calvert within about 10 minutes. He wretched and vomited violently. Others threw him in the shower and he vomited some more and passed out. His roommate put him to bed the next day he literally looked a greenish gray color. It took a couple of days for him to start feeling better but he never touched another drop of alcohol again! And neither have I

      Is Lord Calvert something like Everclear or something? I mean, ten minutes is damn fast for a pint but not something ridiculous. Though if you don't have much exp drinking. (Most college kids don't. They have more exp with binge drinking than they do actual drinking. Which this story backs up.) Either way, glad the friend is okay and it's probably a good choice to not drink for everyone. Know it would be better for me, anyways.

      I also can't believe there are adults who don't know how to swim. And a lot of them live by the ocean. Blows my mind. Like, wouldn't you 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 to go to a local pool and at *least* try to figure it out? I'm imagining me sitting in a pool or lake etc watching people including teens around me swimming leisurely, and thinking "lame, I can't do that". And what if there comes a time you're caught in deep water, fall off a dock etc, and it would be more than handy?
      No shade, because for some reason we lose our natural ability to swim after infancy for some reason, but I'm glad I did learn. A couple times I almost drowned when I was young. Also, can't jump in a diving tank without the ability. Now I can swim across small lakes, and tread water or float on my back when I'm tired and need a break. I think it's an important skill that doesn't require much athletic ability.

I even have vague recollections of my mom taking my siblings to the local pool so they could learn how to swim, and telling her that I wasn't interested. But I'm also not stupid enough to ignore that fact when it comes to doing things near, and on water. Taking proper precautions, and even letting other people know that I can't swim so they don't assume I can if something does happen.

    The moment you said dry ice, I was like... Wait, they used dry ice? That's not going to end well. Especially because gases cooled to liquid or solid state expand massively when they revert. I heard horror stories about liquid nitrogen canisters, the pressure of the evaporating gas could push every other gas out of a room. And the kinda scary bit, humans detect suffocation not by a lack of oxygen, but a high presence of carbon dioxide... So if high pressure nitrogen gas floods your lungs, you'd suffocate without realising anything was wrong till you were collapsing

    #2 surprises me. Normally it's pretty cut and dry someone being stupid, but that was a lot of preparation for his sea expedition to forget something as simple as a life jacket.
    The "riding on top of a moving vehicle" one also. Like anyone with even an ounce of self-preservation would narrowly dodge the first overpass and be like "oh hell, that almost took my head off. I should get flat and try to survive until the driver stops" But after the second or third one you've really just reached a point where it's obvious the attention matters more than your life.
    With the Jesus con artist I wonder if they just went ahead and reburied him afterwards in that spot. Like "this is awkward...but we've still got a perfectly good coffin and hole in the ground!"

    A friend saw me do it, so he, being totally wasted, wanted to try.

Unable to reach it with my grass beater and having no water supply, I pulled out my fireman's hose to extinguish the flame on the other side of the fence. It was dark, so I never noticed this was an electric fence. Not strong enough to remove me from the gene pool.. but quite an electrifying experience for sure

The hat landed in a restricted area because it was dangerous due to the tracks of the coaster going through the area. It was clearly marked & blocked off by fences & signs.

    By the way, while asking my relatives to tell me some stories about my dad (who passed away last year), I found out that he was actually what The Darwin Awards would classify as an At-Risk Survivor!!!
    My step uncle told me one of the most important things he learned from Dad was never to pee on an electric fence! There are a lot of little rural towns around where I live where young guys run out of things to do. Especially back in the 1970s, when there was no internet or computers! So one day, my dad and my uncle (no doubt under the influence of alcohol) decided to have a peeing contest! In the interest of showing off, Dad made the decision to urinate on one of the town’s electric fences!!! Needless to say, he learned a very SHOCKING and painful lesson about why we don’t do that! The shock was so bad he thought he had lost his ability to reproduce on the spot, and of course, he got laughed at too.
    Obviously, myself and my sister are proof that he was indeed, still able to father children. Luckily for us, however, he did fail to pass down the STUPID genes! My sister and I have never had to be blatantly shown why it was not one of his best ideas!!!
    That could be why he left it out of his listing of his accomplishments in life and why I’d never heard about it until last week!!! LOL
    Thank goodness my uncle was around to let me know that my dad was the (un)lucky recipient of the rare At-Risk Survivor Darwin Award!!!!
