DARWIN AWARD WINNER

Dude's vocabulary usage requirement has slowed traffic at this site. In my despair I remembered the Darwin Awards, which recognize individuals' contributions to the gene pool by removing themselves from it through acts of grand stupidity. In the following (edited) example, this fellow qualified as both ignoranus and protected by thick bozone.

(17 February 2003, New York) A 25-year-old man who had often annoyed neighbors by snowmobiling at high speeds through their quiet streets at night, died Friday when he drove headfirst into a tree.

Brian "The Brain" Sabinsky was driving an unregistered, uninsured snowmobile without a helmet while drunk. Mr. Sabinsky was a member of the same fire company dispatched to peel him off the tree.

With the fire company, Sabinsky responded to gruesome snowmobile accidents every year and preached snowmobile safetey to local residents. An illuminated "helmet safety" notice had been posted 700 feet from his home.
