Darwin Awards
I found collections of Darwin Awards by Wendy Northcott at the library and some stories are really funny while some are quite horrible. I enjoyed reading the funny ones. Here's an example story:
Wife Tossing in Buenos Aires
1998 Darwin Awards Winner
Confirmed True by Darwin
(1998, Buenos Aires) Did he win the argument? It happened in February 1998 in a working-class Boedo neighborhood. During a heated marital dispute, a 25-year-old man picked up his 20-year-old wife and threw her off their eighth-floor apartment balcony.
To his dismay, she became tangled in the power lines below. He immediately leapt from the balcony and fell towards his wife. We can only speculate as to his reasons. Was he angrily trying to finish the job, or was he remorsefully hoping to rescue her? He did not accomplish either goal. He missed the power lines completely, and plunged to his death.
The woman managed to swing over to a nearby balcony and was saved.
