It seems a A 21-year-old Perth man who for obvious reasons has chosen to remain anonymous, nearly killed himself using what I've termed "The Beer Pump". Beer Bongs are crazy enough, but this truly is insanity. This is sort of a "Darwin's Work" lite though, as he did survive…likely to do something incredibly stupid in the future that will end his days.
Exactly what the hell was this guy thinking? Apparently he wasn't! Clearly a case of our boy Darwin hard at work once again.
I have been so moved by Mr. Philip Quinn's actions that I've decided it's time for a new topic here at the lava flow: "Darwin's Work". Congratulations Philip! Don't worry, there surely will be others to join you in the future. I'll need to back track as I know there are others here before you that need to now be reclassified. But your level of ignorance, the fact that it relates to lava lamps and your clear lack of brainwork —where this was originally going to be categorized, has truly inspired me.
A better version of the story is currently available on the Police Department - City of Kent, Washington website. This link is going to get stale rather quickly so save yourself a dead click and read it here. …more
It is very reassuring to see Darwin in action not only in the U.S., but around the world. This time it's in Pakistan! Truly a "What the hell were you thinking" moment.

How drunk and crazy do you have to be to pull your own teeth? Apparently you don't have to be completely drunk, just completely crazy! It's very reassuring to see that after all these years, Darwin's work continues to prove itself!

Okay, this probably shouldn't be under this topic, and I'm pretty certain that Daniel Brohm doesn't find it too funny. But if you can't laugh at other people's tragedies, what good are they? Bet you'd be surprised to learn that alcohol and drugs were involved! Read the local scoop here. This is one hangover that John Kemper Hutcherson is going to be living with for years.

Well, it seems that John must have been a pretty good friend to Dan. Well, at least up to that point where he decapitated his friend, but I digress. Hey, that kind of adds a whole new meaning to "Friends for life". It seems that Dan's family pleaded on his behalf to have him released. Thus he is now out on a $50,000 bond.

I guess the judge decided that just because it was your best friend you decapitated, it doesn't mean you're off the hook. Our friend John is off to prison for 5 years.
I've also decided that although initially this fit in "That's Funny!", I'm now moving it to "Darwin's Work" which I believe is also accurate.
