Another valiant attempt to win the Darwin Awards.
He is still in the gene pool but he gave it a good try.




>>"FOREMAN, Ark. - A leap of faith proved hazardous for a smoker in need of a cigarette fix after a night on the town.

Jeff Foran suffered trauma to his nose, eyes and chin after jumping from a car traveling 55-60 mph. Authorities said he was trying to retrieve a cigarette blown out of the passenger-side window.

Foran, 38, took the leap Saturday night, state police Trooper Jamie Gravier said.

The driver of the car, Jerry Glenn Nelson, said Foran had asked him earlier in the evening to be a designated driver after a night of drinking.

"Foran did the right thing and asked his buddy to drive him home," Gravier said. "It was obvious he was extremely intoxicated."

Gravier added: "If anything could make him stop smoking, this should be it. The man is lucky to be alive."<<<<

I mean yeah he was drunk but even when you are drunk you don't leap out of a fast moving car to retrieve a cigarette. You open up the pack and get another one.

7. I love them too
They appeal to my dark sense of humor. A little while after the Darwin Awards hit the net someone created a spin off. There is an award now named after the woman who spilled the McDonald's coffee on her lap and sued. Of course to win you have to have to the most outrageous lawsuit and think you have to actually win.
