Sunset on the Hudson on a hunk of plywood

We need a Darwin Awards thread to see if any of the dumbasses we find make the official list.

This dopey tourist decided that it was a good idea to float out of Jersey City on a piece of plywood so he can take pictures of a sunset. Didn't work out so well.

Reminds me of this guy http://www.iflscience.com/environment/ma...ot-spring/

If you've never been to Yellowstone, it is labeled ALL OVER the place to stay on the boardwalks, not to wander, you damage the eco system etc.  This guy manages to ignore that, falls in, and his body is dissolved entirely...

I've been. It's so obvious NOT to touch that stuff. It doesn't look inviting in the least.

Have a look at the little black and white photo from the article. Look at the date.

It's a very European way to write the date. Essentially it reads 'the 9th of June, 2016'. Our UK equipment is all like that. No big deal.

Lol I didn't even think of that. Most times I see the European way written out instead of all numbers.

would have been more fun if you gave a timey-wimey explanation.
