Darwin Award Candidates


Heck, why not? I love pointing out the inanity of humanity ...especially, Sean Hannity.
And to prove that I'm not going to show favouritism, I'm gonna start with a story close to home.
The two candidates decided that it was a good idea to jump aboard a small, 11 foot/3 metre, plywood boat, with a 2 H.P. outboard motor, no life jackets, one oar, and venture out into the North Atlantic, in late May...... at NIGHT! AT THE FOGGIEST PLACE ON THE PLANET!1!

Alex Day, who fishes for crab from Portugal Cove, found the overturned boat on Monday. He said it was only 11 feet long and five feet wide (3.35 by 1.5 metres).

"It was only a little pond boat," Day told CBC News on Tuesday.

"Not what you'd call a fishing boat. Just plywood. [It] was just built with staples, with a staple gun or something," he said. "It didn't seem like a hardy, strong outfit at all."


If only we lived in an age where people could easily learn some boating information.

  1. Ages 30 and 39 is more than old enough to have bred. I wonder if they got around to polluting the gene pool before they took themselves out of it?

  2. If they had children, then all the more reason for them to act like adults, and not do something this stupid. I've been in large swells in a 5 metre open boat. Losing your balance is very easy. But, I went out during the day, in the summer, with good conditions that were pre-checked with the marine forecast, and life jackets... and we went to an area that had other boats.
