SF Signal: And the Darwin Award of the Year goes to...

And the Darwin Award of the Year goes to...

We need some catch-all category for all my ramblings...

How about starting your own blog?

I'm sorry, I have to do this, from the article:

"We told him a lot of times to stop once and for all, so he wouldn't die," said Green, 15. "But he wanted to show off, he wanted to be popular." [Ed.- Apparently, dead is better than popular.]

Relatives called Alvarez a good kid who went by the nickname Little E. to distinguish him from his dad.[Ed.- Now his nickname is 'Dead' to distinguish him from his dad...]

"You couldn't ask for a better child," said Tyrone Alvarez [Ed.- Except for the stupid thing.]

"That's why I'm so shocked. It sounds so unlike him."[Ed.- I mean, so unlike him to not move around and all the lying down in boxes. Before, he'd be all over those trains...]

It looks like New York has problems with kids doing this. Its too bad the shallow end of the gene pool is so wide...

C'mon, guys...isn't that a little insensitive?

And, this has absolutley nothing to do with scifi/fantasy/geekdom. Maybe this content is better suited for email?

What's next?

Maybe we could "poke" fun at DeNiro's prostate cancer? You pokin' at me?

I said "I'm sorry." Please don't take my posting privileges away. I should have emailed it instead. I'm sorry.

A little insensitive? No.

A lot? Yes.

What's the moral?

Don't be stupid.

I see you've missed the irony of my being insensitive while accusing others of the same. Oh well. Better luck next time.
