Darwin Award Contenders


The two most abundent things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.
MEXICO CITY — The carjackers who set off international alarm bells by absconding with a truckload of highly radioactive material most likely had no idea what they were stealing and will probably die soon from exposure, Mexican authorities said at the end of a brief national scare.
From here.

I am really struggling to find some sympathy for these guys. They didn't just steal the truck, they jumped and beat the drivers. There is a really good chance they are members of an organized crime ring. That said there is nothing I own that is worth my life or that of anybody else.

But then again, I don't own anything that could be used to make a poor man's nuke.
