Stupidest things ever done

[Xantar]

A farm keeper from Sao Paulo, Brazil, went to burn a bee hive in a orange tree... He didn't know exactly how to proceed, just knew the hive should be burned, and he knew bees stings too!!!

So, he protected his head with a plastic bag, very well closed in his neck.

Prepared this way, he grab a torch and went to fight the bees...

His wife got worried when he didn't come back hours later. She went to look for him, and found him dead.

Police said it wasn't the bees who killed him, but the simple lack of oxygen. He forgot to make holes for breathing.

After setting his shorts on fire to prove his courage, a Roselle teen ended up at Sherman Hospital in Elgin Saturday suffering from second-degree burns, police said.
The 16-year-old Roselle boy and two friends - a Roselle 16-year-old and an Elgin 15-year-old - smeared their shorts with gasoline around 10 p.m. Saturday and took turns lighting each other in the back yard of an Elgin home, Elgin police said.

Then they would drop down to the ground, roll and attempt to extinguish themselves, Elgin police said.

"They continued to do this for three rounds," said Elgin officer Mike Sullivan. "The shorts were drenched in so much gasoline that they were unable to extinguish it anymore. To the best of our understanding, it was some kind of a challenge."

The Roselle teen suffered second degree burns from his waist down, Sullivan said. He was treated and released. No charges were filed.

"Each one of them participated by their own free will," Sullivan said. "Being totally stupid is not a crime."

DETROIT-- A robbery suspect was hospitalized and two accomplices are on the run after a botched carjack attempt of an off-duty police sergeant Friday night, Local 4 reported.

Sgt. Powell Relives Robbery Attempt

Sgt. Ronald Powell said that he was outside of a party store at Burt Road and Chicago when a man approached him. Before Powell could identify himself, the suspect tried to pull a gun out of his pants to demand the officer's car, but instead, shot himself.

The suspect managed to stumble away with the help of two accomplices, who pulled down his pants and discovered that he had shot himself in the groin, Local 4 reported. They helped drag him down a nearby alley to a car -- described as a brown 1974 Cadillac -- waiting for them a short distance away.

Powell followed the men for a short distance.

The two accomplices dropped the wounded suspect off at Henry Ford Hospital. His condition was not released.

The getaway vehicle was last seen in Highland Park.

Officers continue to look for the other two suspects.

Powell, a 25-year veteran of the department, was not injured.

A 16-year-old allowed a calf to suck on his penis. Getting no milk, the calf bit and pushed, doing sufficient damage that the young fool died of his injuries. May be disqualified due to age, but at 16, and living on a farm, he should have known better

Dang Xantar! I think you get better and better "Stories of stoopiditee" every time I see these! I love the "Darwin Awads", and as the Elgin polic eofficer said "Being stupid is NOT a crime", although we have seens ome pretty funny stuff come off of these lunatics.

Now do me a favor please, if you get another "Batch" or Darwin's to post, put up the one about the guy whom "Flew" in his car using a "Jet-Assited Liftoff" tank from a milirtay base and his car.

Also be sure to put up the one about he guy who wanted to dry his "Kerosene-clenaed" tools in a Clothes Dryer. These twoa re by far some of the best leaughs out there.

I'd love to post the one about the guy who used a JATO on his car. Unfortunately, that one was proven to be an urban legend (i.e. it never happened).

Sorry to burst your buble, Cyrax. I'll try to find that dryer one, though.

For the time being, I'm going to dig up some more Dan Quayle quotes.

Thanks Xanny , too bad about the car with the JATO, that would've been good if it wasn't fake. As for the Dan Quale Jokes:

"You say Potato, I say Potatoe."
Seriously though Xanny, you're just about the only person that keeps me coming in here, these "Stupidest Things Eer Dione" posts deserve there own Forum on GT if you ask me, belive me, the "Hit Counter" would skyrocket if these were as common to regular members as they are to BP Forum members, you have to find the Dryer one though, I heard that last christmas while eating and nearly had soup coming out of my nose from laughing so hard, case and point: don't eat and look at these at the same time, chances are you'll laugh yourself to death.
