If you haven’t heard of the Darwin awards, don’t go to sleep just yet. This is not a boring scientific seminar. A Darwin Award is given to a person after they die. The reason they are awarded one is because they were polite enough to remove themselves from the gene pool. In other words, people who die in really stupid ways.
There have been hundreds of these given out, and they are hotly contested (even though the contestants have no idea they will be in line to win!). Still, there are a few classics, so here is our pick of the Top Five Darwin Award Winners of all time.
1982: An Arizona man decided to take on a cactus with his handgun. After firing two shots at the 27-foot tall prickly giant, he began to shout “Timber.” After only making it through the first syllable, he was crushed to death by the falling cactus. The moral of the story: If you’re going to make a cactus mad, at least step aside.
