2003 Darwin Awards In case you have been waiting breathlessly for this year's Darwin Awards,here they are. The awards this year are, once again, truly classic. These awards are given each year to bestow upon (the remains of) that individual, who through single-minded self-sacrifice, has done the most to remove undesirable elements from the human gene pool. Just think... until these events, these same people were walking the streets like normal people. 5th RUNNER-UP: Goes to a San Anselmo, California man who died when he hit a lift tower at the Mammoth Mountain ski area while riding down the slope on a foam pad. The 22-year old David Hubal was pronounced dead at Central Mammoth Hospital. The accident occurred about 3 a.m., the Mono County Sheriff's department said. Hubal and his friends apparently had hiked up a ski run called Stump alley and undid some yellow foam protectors from lift towers, said Lt. Mike Donnelly of the Mammoth Lakes Police Dept. The pads are used to protect skiers who might hit towers. The group apparently used the pads to slide down the ski slope and Hubal crashed into a tower. It has since been investigated and determined the tower he hit was the one with its pad removed. 4th RUNNER-UP: Goes to Robert Puelo, 32, was apparently being disorderly in a St. Louis market. When the clerk threatened to call the police, Puelo grabbed a hot dog, shoved it into his mouth and walked out without paying. Police found him unconscious in front of the store. Paramedics removed the six-inch wiener from his throat where it had choked him to death. 3rd RUNNER-UP: Goes to poacher Marino Malerba of Spain, who shot a stag standing above him on an overhanging rock and was killed instantly when it fell on him. 2nd RUNNER-UP: "Man loses face at party." A man at a West Virginia party (probably related to the winner last year, a man in Arkansas who used the .22 bullet to replace the fuse in his pickup truck) popped a blasting cap into his mouth and bit down, triggering an explosion that blew off his lips, teeth, and tongue. Jerry Stromyer, 24, of Kincaid, bit the blasting cap as a prank during the party late Tuesday night, said Cpl. M.D. Payne. "Another man had it in an aquarium hooked to a battery and was trying to explode it." "It wouldn't go off and this guy said I'll show you how to set it off." He put it into his mouth, bit down and it blew all his teeth out and his lips and tongue off, Payne said. Stromyer was listed in guarded condition Wednesday with extensive facial injuries, according to a spokesperson at Charleston Area Medical Division. "I just can't imagine anyone doing something like that," Payne said. 1st RUNNER-UP: Doctors at Portland University Hospita... [ Read More (0.4k in body) ] |

] Christian pastors here at Landover Baptist thought their ] tireless efforts to warn Americans about the carefully ] disguised homosexual agenda targeting toddlers through ] Disney cartoons was working. They thought that since ] President George W. Bush, a devout Christian who attends ] a Bible church regularly and believes in the same ] three-headed God (Father, Son, and flying side-kick, The ] Holy Ghost) took office, that Americans were finally ] waking up. Our pastors took for granted that Americans ] understood that Jesus is not above sending little ] children straight to Hell for watching cartoons. It ] wasn't until Pastor Deacon Fred heard that millions of ] American children were being lured like zombies in a ] trance to see the new Disney film, Finding Nemo, that he ] decided to speak out against it. ] ] "Walt Disney would be spinning in his grave if he knew ] his animation studios were full of giggling homosexuals, ] doodling and talking about silly colors and little ] fishies for their latest film," said Pastor Deacon Fred ] last Sunday. "But as we all know, Walt Disney never made ] it to Heaven. Although he hated Jews almost as much as ] the Apostle Paul did, he never took the time to accept ] Jesus Christ as his personal savior. So Mr. Disney is ] burning in Hell right now and God melted his eyes right ] out of his head. I *love* Landover Baptist Church! One of the all-time greatest spoof sites I've seen.
