    Default Darwin Award candidate

    From The Age:

    "A woman was taken to hospital this morning after she accidentally set herself on fire.
    Senior Constable David Fitzgerald said police believed the woman was filling her car with petrol from a jerry can in Thornbury about 1.30am. Struggling in the dark, the woman used a cigarette lighter to see what she was doing, sparking the fire, he said.

    An ambulance spokeswoman said the woman received minor burns and was taken to the Austin Hospital in a stable condition"

    "If a man is after money, he's money mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't get it, he's a never-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    No doubt her children will be appalled that her DNA is in them.

    Nope not a candidate. To become a Darwin Award candidate you must either take yourself out of the gene pool or the ability to pass on the defective genes.

    Agreed but I reckon it wont be long before she succeeds in becoming a fully fledged Darwin Awardee.
