I love the Darwin Awards!!! 
Especially, their subtitle....
"Dedicated to those who improve the gene pool, by removing themselves from it."
I recall the 2004 Darwin Award nominee who had purchased a large lava lamp in early December. He decided that the lava wasn't moving around fast enough to entertain him, so he sat it on an electric stove burner. Oddly enough, on the bottom of the lava lamp, there's a warning sticker that says, "Do Not Sit on Hot Surfaces". As the heat from the electric stove activated the lava to move faster and faster, suddenly it exploded while the man was standing right in front of it, watching it.
The explosion knocked him to the floor and the shards of glass lacerated him and he bled to death before he was found. He was to be the winner, as it was early December of 2004.
However, elsewhere on a military base, 3 men broke into the demolition area. This is where the claymores, hand grenades and other explosives were demonstrated in training. One of the men picked up a pair of grenades, one in each hand and turned to his buddies and said, "Look! A couple of grenades that didn't blow up." Then he promptly smacked them together and they blew up. His buddies suffered fragmentation injuries, but survived. The other guy.....not so much. However, he did manage to win the 2004 Darwin Award.
