As I was perusing a book store, I saw this Darwin Award calendar. It contained journals of human stupidity that, well, basically suicidal idiots do. So I went to the website, and basically get the whole thing. Some things, I saw in the movies, which is cool.

There is this one that didn't get mentioned. Maybe I should send this to them.

A young man drowned in a lake. Why did he drowned? Well, he was racing across the lake on his or his dad's snowmobile full throttle. He made it okay the first run, but when he was returning, the snowmobile sank to the bottom of the lake. Since he couldn't swim, he drowned.

That's not too unusual, except for the fact that this was done in the summer. The lake was just a bunch of water. Oh yeah, that was a snowmobile, not jetski, which does not float on water. And, of course, not being able to swim, he should know better than leaving his life jacket behind.

I think this got mentioned in Hartford Courant a few months back.
