Top 10 Darwin Awards - Stories of the Decade
Here are the top stories of the past 10 years as chosen by those who compile the Darwin Awards. This is a list you do not want to be on.
1) 2006: Hammer of Doom
He pounded on a rocket propelled grenade with a sledgehammer. It exploded and he died.
2) 2005: Chimney-Cleaning Grenade
He Tried Welding a Live Grenade to a Chain. It exploded and he died.

3) 2004: Rutting Contest
A Deadly Game of "Chicken" With Scooters. All in the Name of Love. The bikes collided head-on and both drivers died.
4) 2003: Unsafe and Insane
He stuck a lit firecracker between his butt cheeks. Then he stumbled and fell. The firecracker blew quite a hole in the fellow's lower body, but he somehow survived.
5) 2002: Fir Tree Trimmer
To save time, a tree-trimmer starts a fire at the base of the tree he's in. He tosses down the cut branches and they burn. As does the entire tree.
6) 2001: The Unkindest Cut
A live power line fell on his truck after a crash, so he used a pair of pruning shears to cut it. The 7,500 volts quickly delivered him to Darwin Awards infamy.
7) 2000: Stupid Human Tricks
A gun collector shoots himself while demonstrating gun safety. A bar-room brawler climbs a staircase to dive on another patron but misses and hits the floor with his head. A would-be mail-bomber blows up when he opens the letter he'd sent after it was returned for insufficient postage.
8) 1999: Living on Zionist Time
Palestinian car bombers blow themselves up because they forgot to coordinate their watches with Daylight Saving Time.
9) 1998: Ski Theft Backfires
He crashes into a ski-lift tower while riding down the hill on a home-made sledge crafted from the protective foam that surrounded the base of the tower he hit.
10) 1997: Out of their Heads
Adults on a bus trip didn't listen to warnings to keep their heads inside. Poking them through that sunroof was just too much fun. Until the bus entered a low viaduct.
