    Darwin Award wannabe



    This is too funny. A construction worker accidentally cut off his hand with a power saw. It hurt so much, he wanted to commit suicide. The only thing he had handy was a nail gun, so he shot himself in the head a dozen times with it. He survived, though.

      Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.

        Speaking of Darwin Awards, this is one of my favourite urban legends:

        1998 Urban Legend: Scuba Divers and Forest Fires: So you think you're having a bad day? In California, wildfires are part of the natural cycle of the forest. They are caused by lightning, by arson, by acts of God. Brave firefighters earn their living by squelching these ravenous blazes. Recently, fire marshals found a corpse in a
