Family Rescued in Pacific After Sailing 'Where God Led Us'

Jesus, please tell your followers that it's fine if they want to compete for the Darwin Award, but maybe suggest that they please leave their children out of it.

Does it still count as a Darwin if you bred, but take the kids down with you in your blaze of fail?

It would if harming innocents didn't disqualify you from a Darwin Award. But I think the way things turned out would leave them eligible for an Honorable Mention.
