Sour comedic note struck. Take necessary precautions. Apologies.

1. I think that's much more a case of someone with a sad mental condition
than someone to give a Darwin award to.

7. A darwin candidate should be a likely breeder too,
right?

Poor guy, he had several years of tunneling and bike riding ahead of him.

10. I disagree.
The guy was eccentric, no doubt. But I think he died doing something he truly loved. What more can you ask for?

3. As sad as this story is
I can't help but think of the Raw Shark Texts. I wonder if he was a fan? :shrug:

5. I'm a visiting nurse and I've seen stuff like this
One guy had tunnels through the house made up of piled newspapers. Talk about fire-hazard.
And it is a mental condition.
No Darwin involved- unless you like the 'survival of the fittest' view of life.

6. "Locals say Mr Stewart, who wore a ponytail..."

9. No. He's a sad soul.
A Darwin contender is a Stupid Human Tricks type, like the jerk who stuck a bottle rocket up his arse, then lit it. Or the idiot who tried to commit suicide by self crucifixion.

We shouldn't feel pity for a Darwin contender. Our reaction should be :wow::wtf:

11. Some people can't see the light at the end of the tunnel....
and some can't navigate the tunnel itself...
