Is it time to hand out the Darwin Awards again?

I am back. I came across a small news, if that is indeed the correct term, article in Canada's National newspaper, the Globe and Mail, today. I think that it is time to hand out those Darwin awards again. As much as I loved those German stories where stupidity ruled and homes burned, I have an American one that has an added twist, Karma.

Now, recall the German folly. One was the woman who tried to exterminate some spiders in her apartment by using an aerosol can as a torch and torched her place and the drunk dude who could not be fucked to get up and take a piss, pissed his bed and used a blow dryer, on his bed, to dry the sheets while he went out. In New Mexico, United States, came word of a person who while burning some leaves in his yard, caught a mouse in his house. The cruel genius decided to toss the mouse into the flames and burning leaves.

Now, here is where Karma kicks in and the story gets good. The mouse's fur catches fire but it escapes and runs, in flames no less, back into the dude's house, burning the motherfucker down. Ain't Karma a bitch? Now, the first thing that comes to mind is shouldn't somebody have taught the mouse, Stop, Drop and Roll? If that was done, this "poor" man would still have a house. The second thing is something greater than man has decided to mock this entrant in the Darwin Awards, and now he is homeless.

If he is alcoholic he may qualify for free drinks up here in Canada, though, so it was not all a waste. Ciao!
