Darwin Award nominee

My Brother sent me this news clipping.

A guy decided to clean his bike up and get it ready for Spring riding. he moved the bike into his living room and got to work cleaning it with rags and a bowl of gas. After he was done he decided to fire it up and forgot it was in gear. He put the bike thru the plate glass window of the house. His wife dialed 911 and off he went in the ambulance to get some stitches at the hospital.
Meanwhile wifey began to cleanup inside the house, she got rid of the bowl of gas by putting it in the toilet. hubby got home and answered Natures call and lit a cigarette. Well, the Wife had forgot to flush the toilet so after an explosion big enough to blow the hubby's pants to shreds, wifey had to call 911 again.
Hubby was getting loaded into the ambulance again by the same paramedics and when they learned what happened they started to break up laughing and dropped Hubby, breaking his collarbone.

I think I saw that in a book of urban myths. Funny though.

I think that Peruvian Priest who tried to make a world record setting flight using helium balloons tied to a chair, & is currently missing, presumed dead; will take some beating for this year's Darwin award.
After all, he should have no trouble qualifying for the part of the award that states that the recipient must have died in the most stupid & meaningless way, before they had any children. Therefore denying their "stupid genes" to the human gene pool.
Though from what we've been hearing about Priests lately, even that's not as certain as it used to be. (no offence meant to anyone's deeply held beliefs)
