   Yes, because all astronauts obviously need to be removed from the gene pool. I’ll consider it gain.

   AppFzx, read before you post.

   “examples of people who perhaps should be removed from the gene pool.”

   Perhaps is a strong word.

   You need to remove yourself from the gene pool to qualify for a Darwin. Its not just a term for people doing dumb shit.

   Yes, the Darwin award is for people who deliberately do spectacularly stupid and dangerous things that result in their entirely foreseeable death. Doing something like firing a gun and having your pants fall down–is stupid, sure, but it’s hardly spectacular or mortally dangerous. Doing dangerous things isn’t good enough either, or else all astronauts who die would qualify (as would police, firemen, soldiers, etc.) You can’t be a nominee unless you actually die, and then, only the most spectacularly stupid can win. For the most part, this video may contain some potential nominees-in-training.

   Just to correct Mojo a bit. You dont have to die. Getting castrated is good enough too. But I may be wrong.

   This video started funny..
   At the boom boom boom it wasn’t funny anymore.
   The video that starts at 4.45 was record in my old home town.
   A fireworks factory was exploded and 21 people got killed.
   More than a 1000 wounded and a whole neighborhood was destroyed.

   See for your self to get an overview of the impact:

   Besides that, to get an Darwin award there are 5 requirements.

   - Nominee must be dead or rendered sterile.
   - “Astoundingly stupid judgment.”
   - Cause of one’s own demise.
   - Capable of sound judgment. (The nominee must be at least past the legal driving age and free of mental defect.)
   - The event must be verified.

   Some of the video’s used in this clip doesn’t meet any of the requirements. So don’t post something you don’t know shit about.

   You are right that the Darwin Award is for those who actually off themselves. But… stupidity (even accidents) tend to get honorary mention.
