British police admit shooting wrong man in bomb hunt
I'm not trying to say that stupid people deserve to be shot
but I wonder what the dude was thinking by going into the Tube
station a day after the 2nd terrorist attempt while wearing a
heavily padded overcoat in the middle of summer. And then
he does not cooperate with the cops until it is too late.
I mean a little bit of common sense is needed...
If a cop in a tube station tells you to stop, you stop.
Instead he jumps the turnstile.
Hand that man a Darwin Award.
It's like when you see those clips of the happy idiot playing
with fireworks and he accidentally blows himself up as he
stares into the roman candle wondering why it won't fire.
I feel bad for both guys but wonder what they were thinking.
It must suck to be that cop.
Tough decision...

Mining for Elephants
2005 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
15 February 2005, Rushinga, Zimbabwe
The elephants were trampling Christian's maize field, which he planted on an elephant trail of long standing. He had to find a way to fight back! Fortunately, there was an old minefield nearby, on the Zimabwe-Mozambique border. Christian figured a few landmines planted around his field would soon teach the elephants a lesson they would never forget.
Christian may have gotten the idea of using the mines from a couple of incidents that had recently transpired. A local resident had been injured after picking up a landmine while herding cattle the week before. A week before that, another Rushinga man had lost part of his leg after stepping on a landmine. The other villagers saw the writing on the wall, and avoided the landmines.
But Christian realized they were just what he needed! Clearly, these mines could cause great damage to an elephant! He dug up five that had been exposed by recent heavy rains, and began carrying them home.
These unstable mines detonated, killing Christian instantly.
Then total number of elephants injured? Zero.
