LOL Some of them are still running all over SI!

After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Beltway had escaped.

Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride.
He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies.

The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.

Are you sure these are from the Darwin Awards? Only the first 3 died...

I thought the "offical" Darwin awards required you to remove yourself from the gene pool. The only non-death I am aware of that made even the honorable mentions, blew his rocks off, thus fulfilling the letter of the requirement.
