    wem der darwin-award fremd sein sollte, darf bei wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin-Award) oder auf www.darwinawards.com weiterlesen:
    Der Darwin Award „wird im Gedenken an Charles Darwin an Menschen vergeben, die den menschlichen Genpool dadurch verbessern, dass sie ihr eigenes Leben als ultimatives Opfer darbringen. Gewinner des Darwin Awards eliminieren sich selbst auf außergewöhnlich idiotische Weise und erhöhen dadurch die Chancen eines langfristigen Überlebens unserer Spezies.“

    in diesem sinne: de mortuis nihil nisi bene!

    1. nominierungsvorschlag:

    21-Jähriger springt aus Jux gegen U-Bahn und stirbt

    Wie die Polizei mitteilte, war der junge Mann gemeinsam mit seiner 25-jährigen Begleiterin aus der Bahn ausgestiegen. Nachdem der Zug bereits wieder angefahren war, sprang er aus Spaß gegen die rollenden Wagen. Dabei geriet er zwischen zwei Waggons, rutschte auf die Gleise und wurde überrollt.

    Wie wäre es mit diesem "Crazy Pastor", der während eines Gottesdienstes von einer Klapperschlange gebissen wurde, um seinen Glauben zu beweisen, sich zunächst nach Hause bringen liess, um nach einigen Stunden dann doch im Krankenhaus das Zeitliche zu segnen? Bereits sein Vater starb an einem Schlangenbiss.

    Snake-handlers point to scripture as evidence that God calls them to engage in such a practice to show their faith in him. Mark 16: 17-18 reads, "And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

    Wolford told the Washington Post magazine in 2011 [washingtonpost.com] that he is carrying on the tradition of his ancestors by engaging in snake handling.

    "Anybody can do it that believes it," Wolford said. "Jesus said, 'These signs shall follow them which believe.' This is a sign to show people that God has the power."

    Wolford said watched his own father die at the age of 39 after a rattlesnake bit him during a similar service.

    "He lived 101/2 hours," Wolford told the Washington Post Magazine. "When he got bit, he said he wanted to die in the church. Three hours after he was bitten, his kidneys shut down. After a while, your heart stops. I hated to see him go, but he died for what he believed in.
