While most stories we feature follow more along the lines of “stupid criminal” stories, not always is an arrest made — and not always are the stories about criminals.
The Darwin Olympics pokes fun at the whole theory of Darwinism — founded by Charles Darwin, it theorizes the process of natural selection where “unfit specimens remove themselves from the gene pool.”
“Darwinism” is often used as an insult for stupidity at it’s finest.
If this story is not a prime example of Darwinism . . . we don’t know what is.
Meanwhile in England . . .
A motorist in Halifax (outside of London) lit a cigarette — and his car EXPLODED!
How does something like that happen and why does this constitue him as a winner in today’s Darwin Olympics?
Well . . . dude used an aerosol can of air freshener a moment before attempting to light that cigarette.
The police force shared on their Facebook Page, “Shortly after 3 PM (Saturday) afternoon, Fountain Street, Halifax, had to be closed due to an exploded aerosol can.”
That’s what happens when you don’t properly ventilate your car dude!
The post continues, “The fumes exploded and blew out his windscreen, along with some windows at nearby business premises. This is how you might actually be able to buy property near London (yes really). The owner fortunately sustained only minor injuries but this could have been worse. Please can members of the public be careful and follow guidelines when using air freshener cans?”
To answer your next question . . . YES, yes there are photos.
