Cliff, surely you know that the *real* Darwin awards are only given to
people who have completely lost their reprodutive ability - almost
always by dying, but a few have been cited because of severe genital
damage - taking them out of the gene pool. Most of these do not fit into
that category, so I suggest that you Google on this some more before you
start passing on these forwarded notes.

Umm .... Wendy also has Honorable Mentions
