Oops

The Darwin Awards are for people who have....   contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool.

Not to mix metaphors but please peruse this entry into the Twilight Zone:

Eligible for a 2020 Darwin Award

It was on the news so everyone's seen it by now.  Being a member of the Flat Earth Society will not result in death.  Embracing 4Chan theories will not, in themselves, kill you.  Prepping for Armageddon might even have a little up side.

Missing the reality that science does not forgive a lack of research results in Grand Canyon falls (gravity), loss at sea (fluid dynamics), and death by Covid (disease probability).  

It will forever astound me.  And the last words were, essentially, oops.

Did you see the news article last week about the University of Alabama Frat Party held to see who could catch the virus the quickest. There was a prize pot of money for the winner!

It reminds me of a trend in the Gay Community about 20 years ago ... There were many young gay men referred to as "bug chasers" who deliberately set out to be infected with AIDS through unprotected sex ... because they felt left out ... *sigh*

I had heard about that but forgotten. It does truly astound me.

I saw that this morning. It made me sad.
