- "Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple."
- "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened!"

quipping post: Darwin Awards for Drunks & Drugs

Darwin Awards Winners
"Six young men and women with no sailing experience were rescued from a stolen luxury yacht after drifting into a pier only 400 metres from its mooring. They had intended to sail around the world, and had packed all the essentials; 60 cans of baked beans, 1000 condoms, some liquor and cola and a library book on navigating by the stars. Lucky for them they were caught, as police report that "they had no fresh water and no food other than baked beans." The would-be sailors have been charged with unlawful use of a vessel. We can all be glad that at least with 1000 condoms, they weren't planning to breed!"
