Today's "Darwin Award" Winner!
Driver Apparently Buckles Up Beer, Not Self

CITRUS HEIGHTS, Calif. - A man who lost control of his vehicle and was later treated for injuries may have buckled in a pack of beer, but not himself, according to a police report. Citrus Heights police said witnesses saw Alexsandr Gritsyuk traveling northbound at about 60 mph on Van Maren Lane Sunday night, but failed to negotiate a turn at Garden Gate and hit a tree.

Officers said Gritsyuk appeared to be unrestrained by a seat belt, but that a 12-pack of beer in his car was secure.

The investigation is continuing.

1. I'm a bit of a purist ...
Darwin Award winners have to die to win.

5. And they should die before they reproduce
to really remove their genes from the pool.

Not clear in the article about this beer-lover.

4. If they simply sever their genitals they qualify.

6. That's true: the key qualification is removal from the gene pool.
The more creative, the better.
