Stupid criminal is shocked as he gets charged.

OK, there are just too many jokes that await your best efforts for me not to post about this Darwin Award winner from Thurmond, WV (Down in the really stupid part of the state...and tat's saying something!) who shot down a power cable to steal it and then electrocuted himself when he tried to pick it up.

W. Va. Man Electrocuted After Shooting Down Power Line To Steal Copper

I'll be chuckling over this one for a few days. Any comments from the peanut gallery on this?

  2. Now that is poetic justice. Thank you for pointing that one out. What a laugh. Definitely a front runner for first prize in the Darwin awards for 2013.

    Not only was he stupid enough to pull this off but he had a freakin' accomplice stupid enough to let him do it.

    Just goes to show that IQ ain't cumulative - The IQ of all idiots involved in a crime is a constant.

    That beat the guy who used a .22 cartridge as an automotive fuse, and shot himself in the testicle.

    But not by much.

  12. This may have not been the primary Congressional intent behind the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 [ http://www.ccrh.org/comm/moses/primary/electrif.html ], but electrolyzing this guy out of the gene pool is certainly a welcome side benefit.

  14. He was a bright light in his community. For a few milliseconds anyway.

    He was Edison's 1001st failed attempt at inventing the light bulb filament. Apparently stupid conducts electricity a little too well.
