For those of you not familiar with it, these awards are given out (posthumously) to those who have offed themselves (usually unintentionally) in creatively stupid ways thus cleansing the gene pool from dumbasses of their ilk.

Speaking of Darwin Awards, Spike TV has a show called 1000 ways to die. It's actually on right now, looks like a marathon.

The Darwin Awards are just further proof that stupid people shouldn't breed. Great site.

2010 candidate. March 1.
MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) - Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash.
Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel said Monday 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.
However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.
Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.
Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger's body.

That wasn't really stupid, per se... just extremely unlucky.

true.
my favorites are the burglars who invariably get stuck in duct work and die.

But I'll lay odds that it will at least receive an honorable mention for Darwin 2010.
