Darwin Awards announce early nominees
A Kansas man who was killed by a train after his car broke down on a motorway is among the contenders for the latest Darwin Awards.
The train 's driver spotted him standing on the tracks, holding a mobile phone to one ear and cupping his hand to the other ear to block the noise of the train.
The awards are awarded, posthumously, to people who have "improved our gene pool by removing themselves from it in really stupid ways".
The nominees also included a Ukraine man who was killed when his dog retrieved a hand grenade which he'd just thrown at a police cadet.
The police cadet had just pointed out to the man that his dog should have been muzzled and on a leash.
Another contender died in Arizona's Mohave County Jail when he defecated on his cell floor, slipped in his own faeces, struck his head on the ground, and died.
And in Holland, a retired engineer booby-trapped his home with twenty deadly devices, with the intention of killing his estranged family. However, he inadvertently triggered one of his own and got killed.
