Hahaha, nimrod squeezed a shot off while trying to tuck the gun into his wasteband.

I wonder if this would qualify as a Dawin candidate if he in fact killed off any future decendants

[Alex]

Technically anything that prevents reproduction should count, I'd think.

[Ghoulish Delight]

If they're true to their namesake's line of reasoning, it certainly should.

Rules:

The candidate must remove herself from the gene pool.

The prime tenet of the Darwin Awards is that we are celebrating the self-removal of incompetent genetic material from the human race. Therefore, the potential winner must be deceased, or at least incapable of reproducing. The traditional method is death. However, an occasional rebel opts for sterilization, which allows her more time to enjoy the dubious notoriety of winning a Darwin Award.

Yeah, but if they're going to follow those rules they have to rule out homosexuals, post-menopausal women, and me.

Though maybe that would finally be some compensation for these oppressed (to some degree or another over various times; I've been horribly oppressed through the years) groups: "Congratulations, no matter how stupid your actions you will not win a Darwin Award!"

[Disneyphile]

I wonder if he'll have the balls to repeat the crime.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

What a nutjob...

Testicle pun.

No. You have to remove yourself in a manner that is spectacularly stupid and ill-advised . Suicides, unforeseen accidents, murders, and those who choose not to have children do not qualify.
