he's too loaded to pass a police blood test.

Good grief. You completely missed the fact that this is *not* a Darwin
Award candidate, two offspring.

The people I wonder about are those idiots who jump from high places wearing
a winged suit and then hit something so they don't deploy their
parachotes.
Those are the Darwin award candidates, but if we are talking DIY, its the
person who runs 240v to their pond and makes the connection so crap that
you get electrocuted when you turn it on.

That French bloke got a bit wet when he tried to land on a
boat mid-channel to refuel his personal jet-hover-board.

All the 'Iranian' immigrants will be trying this soon.

"You completely missed the fact that this is *not* a Darwin Award
candidate"

If 'I completely missed' that it 'it wasn't' that meant I thought it
was, ignoring that FACT that I wasn't referring to it at all (and you
were).

And I'm guessing you didn't read the OP's heading?

Probably not black and white enough for you though eh. ;-(

Two left brainers can never = one right.

(no space after the comma, capital S ... )

It? As in, did she set out to do a DIY suicide project that worked? I
doubt it.

So, even if it was a Darwin award candidate, what does it have to do
with diy or why no OT in the subject?

Given that the chances are the death was an accident (down to impaired
senses), still nothing to do with DIY and so very much off topic.
