>>A see a Darwin award nomination in the making.
>
>But he's in stable condition, so it can only make an "Honorable Mention" This years honorable mentions were pretty good:
>
>1. In Guthrie, Okla, in October, Jason Heck tried to kill a millipede
>with
> a shot from his 22-caliber rifle, but the bullet ricocheted off of a
>rock near the hole and hit pal Antonio Martinez
>in the head, fracturing his skull.
>
> 2. In Elyria, Ohio, in October, Marty Eskins, attempting to clean out
>cobwebs in his basement, declined to use a
>broom in favor of a propane torch and caused a fire that burned the
>first and second floors of his house.
>
> 3. Paul Stiller, 47, was hospitalized in Andover Township, NJ, in
>September, and his wife Bonnie was also
>injured, by a quarter-stick of dynamite that blew up in their car. While
>driving around at 2 AM, the bored couple
>lit the dynamite and tried to toss it out the window to see what would
>happen, but they apparently failed to notice
>that the window was closed.

> 4. TACOMA, WA - Kerry Bingham, had been drinking with several friends
>when
> one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from the
>Tacoma
> Narrows Bridge in the middle of traffic. The conversation grew more
>heated
> and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30am.
>Upon arrival at the midpoint of the
>bridge they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham,
>who had continued drinking,
>volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable lay nearby.
>One end of the cable was secured around
>Bingham's leg and the other end was tied to the bridge. His fall lasted
>40 feet before the cable tightened and tore
>his foot off at the ankle. He miraculously survived his fall into the
>icy river water and was rescued by two nearby
>fishermen. "All I can
>say," said Bingham, "is that God was watching out for me on that night.
>There's just no other explanation for
>it." Bingham's foot was never located.
