Darwin Awards: Macho Men!

Some men will got to extraordinary lengths to prove how macho they are. Frenchman Pierre Pumpille recently shunted a stationary car two feet by headbutting it. "Women thought I was a god," he explained from his hospital bed.
Deity or not, however, Pumpille is a veritable girl's blouse compared to Polish farmer Krystof Azninski, who staked a strong claim to being Europe's most macho man by cutting off his own head in 1995. Azninski, 30, had been drinking with friends when it was suggested they strip naked and play some "men's games". Initially they hit each other over the head with frozen turnips, but then one man upped the ante by seizing a chainsaw and cutting off the end of his foot. Not to be outdone, Azninski grabbed the saw and, shouting "Watch this then," he swung at his own head and chopped it off.

"It's funny," said one companion, "when he was young he put on his sister's underwear. But he died like a man."

There are all sorts of things that might be rocketed into space to give potential aliens an idea of what humankind is like. I think a copy of The Darwin Awards would be essential to putting the rest of it into perspective. :rofl:

1. Stupidity is a self-correcting problem.

If this is true, yeesh.

[crim son]

3. I think stupidity was in evidence when the boys pulled out the frozen turnips,

yes? Heh.

[Infomaniac]

4. I didn't know why you would freeze turnips

Seems kinda mean. :P

Turnip is just a wannabe potato or some other really delicious root vegetable.

5. It was winter and they pulled them from the ground.

No mean feat for the average person, but these dudes were MEN! :rofl:

7. I'd like to think you're right, but I strongly suspect...

...stupidity is the world's only true inexhaustible resource.

2. "Watch this then," he swung at his own head and chopped it off.

Idiot

6. Idiot? Brilliant!

No one who witnessed that spectacle could top that!

8. I knew this guy who had a wooden leg

They went to this rock concert. Of course they were fucked up on booze before the show even started. They were in their seats partying and having a grand old time when these two young girls took their seats beside them. The guy with a wooden leg decided to impress one of the chicks, took his pocket knife out, and stuck it standing up in his leg. The girl, not to be outdone, grabbed the knife and stuck in HER real leg. I know, I don't know if this story is true or not. My friend made fake legs and arms for amputees.That is why he knew this guy. (sorry the actual word is too tough and the universal translator is too lean to handle it)
