WEll I do have to say, he's not a Darwin Award candidate. you have to die or lose the ability to reproduce to gain that honor. But stupid, yes, incredibly. But I know how much of a pain it can be to loosen those nuts man. Friend and I were changing his tire once. We got the wrench on the nut, stood on it, and had to jump in unison to loosen it. I'd swear it was soldered on.

Ah, but you can earn an honourary mention even if you don't remove yourself from the genepool.

How in bloody buggery you're going to successfully remove a wheel nut with a shotgun is beyond me:

Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Had he used one of these he might have stood a chance, or at least not would not have been injured.

I think the chances of reproducing now at his age and with a load of birdshot to the lower body are pretty slim
I meant that perhaps he had reproduce is his younger years.

and its warning labels like these
IMPORTANT NOTICE - This is NOT Less-Lethal Ammunition
that contribute to the advancement of stupid people. If its a door breaching round, its pretty f*ckin obvious that it will kill a person just as easily as a regular bullet.
