HONORABLE MENTION: Cheez Whiz
Confirmed True by Darwin
(22 May 2000) Every year Britons chase Double Gloucester cheese
wheels down Cooper's Hill in an astoundingly bizarre and unexpectedly
dangerous competition. Several seven-pound cheeses are hurled down
the hill, and dozens of contestants take off in pursuit. If they catch a cheese
they get to keep it.
But Cooper’s Hill is so steep that the cheese chasers invariably tumble
as far as they run. This year was no exception. Winner Craig Carter broke
his arm, yet managed to smile triumphantly while confessing that he had
broken his other arm in his winning dash several years ago.
At least eighteen people were injured, including a spectator who tried
to dodge a bouncing cheese. He was hospitalized for a head injury
after a 100-foot tumble down the steep slope.
Despite its bloody track record, the Gloucestershire tradition has
continued for hundreds of years, and contestants show no signs
of slowing down. Therefore they earn an Honorable Mention, and
we fondly anticipate a cheese-chasing Darwin Award nominee
in the near future. -Copyright 2000 DarwinAwards.com

PERSONAL ACCOUNT: Feeding the Dolphins
"I'm an active duty member of the United States Coast Guard and I was
stationed In Destin, Florida in 1995. While on routine patrol I noticed
a lady waving baitfish around. She was standing in four feet of water
about 75 feet from the beach.
"I thought she was feeding the dolphins, which is illegal in the state
of Florida, so I pulled up alongside her to advise her of the infraction.
I looked down in to the water and noticed that the tails on these creatures
were moving from side-to-side, as opposed to up-and-down like a dolphin.
Also none were coming up for air. This misguided lady was hand feeding
a school of sharks! Without trying to alarm her, I asked if she had noticed
anything unusual.
"When she realized she was surrounded by ten sharks, her face turned
white as a ghost and she jumped into my boat before I knew what had
happened! The guys back at the station got a good laugh out of that one."
