One of my favourite Darwin nominees were the guys that decided to use a live 22 round to replace a glass fuse in an old pickup truck. :confused2:

Without looking up the actual statistics...I know that a large percentage of drownings and people rescued from falling overboard are men who were or were attempting to relieve themselves...FWIW...
