Don't you mean the Darwin Awards?
Although they seem to only cover death stories in that site, the above story is surely a good example of someone "darwinizing" himself...

And thanks, I needed that refreshment after hours of studying Ecology for my exam tomorrow...

I was just going to check if I remembered correctly, but I had deleted my old saved games  :x However, I didn't mean to put it in the cauldron, but in the fire below it. Could be mistaken though, I don't have enough time to check it now. And yes, it was really well thought of, with so many potential...

"exito" is success
"a caido" is a fallen one
"fugaces" is plural for ephemeral, vain, and, what do you know... fugacious... :)
"sabiduria" is wisdom
oh, and for all I know, SIS stands for Sissified Ignoramus Society

I had a similar post some time ago... It is very interesting how many actors are specialized only in voice-overs and never get a chance on the screen, except for short insignificant ER cameos or roles in Steven Seagal movies... Another very talented example is Rob Paulson, who has done some voices i...
