Much as I'd like to claim that person who microwaved aluminum as my own acquaintance, it's not. I took that from the Darwin Awards also.
But just think about it for a second. The location of the article says Canada.
I do know somebody who has killed lots of pets. Now, he doesn't exactly qualify for a Darwin Award because
1. He didn't kill himself.
2. He was under ten years old at the time these things happened.
Anyway, he once had a snapping turtle and a frog (among other things). One day, he decided the frog should play with the turtle. Snapping turtles have powerful bites, and they'll bite all kinds of things including legs still attached to frogs.
He also once microwaved a gerbil because he thought the gerbil was cold and needed warming up.
