The third one about the grand piano and the pulley is hard to beat, IMHO.

"Darwin Awards" needs to be defined in any thread about them, because people get the definition of what qualifies as one wrong all - the - time.

I agree. People who die from honest mistakes, other peoples stupidity or because the person was stupid but their death was not are not winners. Gotta die from your own stupid, be doing the human race a favor and be at least midly amusing to qualify.

Based on the few odd ways people have died so far this year that I have heard about, the two kids in Tennessee who mixed racing fuel and Mountain Dew and died (obviously), seem to be at the top of the list:

Then there's the guy who crashed his car, while not wearing any pants, and watching porn on his phone:

These are pretty good entries.

Alas, anyone who has reproduced does not qualify for a real Darwin because they tainted genes are already in the pool. And, the sad news: intelligence is about 30% heritable. Meaning, killing-off dummies doesn't raise humanity's IQ any. Ratz.
