From IOL
A lorry driver from Germany set fire to his cab after deciding to cook himself some sausages while driving.
That almost qualifies for a Darwin Honorable Mention!
He needs to have died for that, but I suppose he’s done so socially. Germany (among most EU countries) really, REALLY frowns on intoxicated driving.
No, the Honorable Mentions are for those who did not
quite manage to remove himself from the gene pool.
I am without a kitchen for about a month. A couple of nights ago I made omelets for my wife and me, but the daughter wanted a hard-boiled egg. The Coleman stove gave up the ghost (we’ve since gotten a new propane Coleman stove – MUCH better), so I decided to try cooking a couple in the microwave. I figured I’d put them in a Pyrex cup with a pint of water. Put them in for 5 minutes on high, the water was almost boiling at that point. Then I put them in for 5 minutes at 50%. About 3 minutes in we hear this great kaboom. The workers were still in the kitchen, I thought they might have slipped and bonked something. But then I realized the nuke had turned off. The eggs had exploded so violently that they blew the microwave door open. There was egg over half the dining room. All the water from the cup was either in the dining room or in or underneath the microwave.
I wanted to try again and stop at 7 1/2 minutes, but my wife wouldn’t let me. I did the cleaning up; I suspect she thought I’d be in there, watching, and might have had my face blown off if they exploded again.
You are correct sir!
But to be fair to JES, he really should have been kind enough to remove himself from the gene pool 
sometimes they just don’t appreciate the sacrifices for science thing
great story!
That’s got to be one of the best microwave stories I’ve ever heard!!!
I can’t wait to try it at work!!!
