The Darwin Awards have been announced for 2006. These awards, begun in 1993, "salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally remove themselves from it, thus ensuring that the next generation is one idiot smarter." This year's winners include a man who tried to defuse a rocket-propelled grenade with a hammer, someone who flew a kite with a copper wire instead of a string, and a couple of people who forgot that it's oxygen, not helium, the body requires. The official news release can be found here. We'd make a joke here, but that might seem in poor taste.
