2012 Darwin Award: Smokin' Hot Sauce!
Here's one of the Darwins- an honorable mention of a man who took a drink from a jar not knowing what it was, spit the fluid out, and then tried to calm himself by lighting a cigarette. It was a jar of gasoline.
I once submitted myself for a Darwin award when I was getting absolutely nowhere with my fight for survivors/victims access to practical information and everything I tried seemed to backfire. Not sure when this was but probably around 2004. If you name someone, I probably e-mailed them at some point. I was being besmirched constantly by a cybersmearer on Findlaw's many message boards back in 2004 and facing a baseless lawsuit from the Palm Harbor Library General Counsel and had seemed to have burned all my bridges not only back into the law librarianship profession but also into the Tampa Bay area librarianship community. Finding TOTV was the start of rebuilding bridges with my 224/613 project which I had already in 2004 been involved with since mid 1993 using those numbers. I was at a loss for ideas.
