Got thihs in the mail today, some might have seen it already. This must be a contender for the Darwin Awards.

Hopefully he'll be taken out of the gene pool before he reproduces.

Is he welding by the gas tank ?

OMG.
All I need are these 2 x 4's and I'm in business. While I'm at it I can fix those loose U- joints and the broken springs.

I didn't know they street side repair shops or welding equipment in south america. Maybe we should call this picture....

Hand Welded by Jaun Valdez!

Wow, if the gas tank explosion doesn't kill him, the truck falling on him oughta do the job.... graemlins/clonk.gif

My favorite, although not a Darwin "winner", would have to be Lawn Chair Larry.

Lawn Chair Larry, was truly a "knuclehead" Why would anyone want to do something that crazy? graemlins/sad.gif He could have gone to Napa co in Northern California and ride in all the balloons you want... :D ...BTW I think that guy working on his truck is now the manager of the oil changers near me... graemlins/clonk.gif ;)

If the picture is "real" I want to know how he got the truck up high enough to stuff the 2 x 4's under it. If he had a jack to get it that high I would think he would have left it under some portion of the truck for safety reasons. I don't think the picture is 100% legit, I don't think you could get the truck to "balance" on those boards. What is keeping them from sliding outwards (at the bottom). If they are real, this poor guy is/was in for a world of hurt. Doubtful he was lucky enough to live to talk about this stroke of genius

Oh I think that picture is real, all the shadows and lighting looks real. That is often a telltale to faked images.

To get the car up he could have used a forklift.

Stupid people do stupid things, amazing stuff happens all the time.

It looks to be a real pic. The sunshine/shadows seems to be correct everywhere. Also the rear tire is dented a bit by the kerbstone. I think that a few friends can lift this truck on the side (not easy, but doable).

I guess this is a 'before' picture........Is there also an 'after' picture? graemlins/clonk.gif :eek:

<edit> Jan, you typed a bit faster than me :D

at least he put a block behind the wheel to keep it from rolling.

That's Insane!!! graemlins/clonk.gif


If that picture is legit, then this guy is definately a contender for the Darwin Awards!
However, my all time favorite is Lawnchair Larry! The first time I heard about LL I laughed so hard I cried! :D

Somebody stop him before he procreates.

My fav is the hunter who blew a headlight fuse in the woods, with no replacement fuse available he decided a .22 cal bullet would work just fine. 20 mins later the bullet fired and removed one of his testicals. The guy only got an honorable mention because he still had one testical left so technecaly he could still spawn though he lessoned his chances of procreation by 50%.

Hey, that guy looks just like my old Shop Teacher :eek:
