If you move to Kentucky you better be prepared to bathe -- at least once a year.

You saw it here first! *L*

The best part, is this one:

Another state law, for example, stated that "No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club."

The law was later amended with: "The provisions of this statute shall not apply to females weighing less than 90 pounds nor exceeding 200 pounds, nor shall it apply to female horses."


So, if you're a female HORSE, you can stand beside a highway in your bathing suit????

Darwin & Jeopardy?

On April 5, 2002, the game show Jeopardy! featured the Darwin Awards as a quiz category. Here is a transcript of the answers, courtesy of WhoisMark.

Alex Trebek: "For $200, a Pittsburgh convict tied eight of these together to escape, but was 25 feet short: he broke his ankle and was caught."

Carol: "What are his bedsheets?"

Alex: "Not just his bedsheets. He didn't have eight of them. For $400, a man in this "Wolverine State" was shot trying to get a photo of his dog holding a rifle."

Manoj: "What is Michigan?"

Alex: "For $600, as an alibi for a robbery, a man said he was in another state buying this illegal drug made from morphine."

Manoj: "What is Heroin?"

Alex: "For $800. Oops! After using gas to remove some stains, a man tried to cover the smell by lighting this, maybe at both ends."

Carol: "What is a candle?"

Alex: "For $1000, a Frenchman moved a parked car 2 feet with this technique used by pro wrestlers and agressive rams."

Carol: "What is battering?"

Alex: "Wrong! -$1000. Time's Up. Leave it to the French. He moved it by headbutting it. Donk Donk Donk."

Darwin Award Recipient

Workin' at the Car Wash
2003 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin

(29 January 2003, Brazil) At work, Manoel Messias Batista Coelho was responsible for cleaning out the storage tanks of gasoline tanker trucks. He had been employed in that capacity for two months when he ran afoul of fuel.
The 35-year-old began to fill a tanker with water, a standard safety procedure that forces flammable vapor out of the container. He returned an hour later to check whether the water level was high enough to proceed. But he had trouble deciding, because it was so DARK inside the tanker.

A resourceful employee, Manoel forgot the very reason why he was filling the tank with water when he lit a cigarette lighter to shed some light on the situation. His little test successfully determined that the water level was NOT yet high enough for safety. The vapor explosion launched him through the air, and he landed in the company parking lot 100 meters away.

Manoel suffered severe burns, blunt force trauma, and an injury to the head that exposed his brain. Our witless car washer had learned his terminal lesson in safety by the time the firemen arrived.
