      I think it counts as an 'Honourable mention'. To qualify for the award you need to remove yourself from the gene pool permanently without progeny.
      Crickey - the Wikipedia page even lists 5 criteria

      Darwin Awards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      Yes, this counts as an honourable mention

        I nominate anyone who participated in panic buying, since when the govt says the country is about to run out of fuel, keeping enough petrol in your car really should be the least of your worries. The fact that nobody started panic buying food shows the average level of IQ in the country.

          You thick ****. Without petrol nobody can travel
          20 miles to their out of town supermarket. Now
          who needs their IQ tested.

            Good to see someone in the US was ahead of us :

            Slush Pile: Man burned while siphoning gas with

            Witnesses said Williamson was trying to siphon gas with an electric leaf blower when a spark from the blower ignited the fire, the report said.

            Williamson suffered serious burns to his arms and had to be taken to Tampa General Hospital.

            And this one should amuse the congregation :

            2010 Darwin Award: Textbook Double Double Darwin

            A young couple, driving along Via Dutra, the largest freeway in Brazil with tons of heavy traffic, at 6AM under heavy fog. The couple decided that this was the time to park (for "dating" according to the charming Google translation) and, yes, they parked on the freeway in the right-hand lane, not on the shoulder, the median, or at a gas station. Naturally, given time a cargo truck encountered a "speed bump," instantly killing both -- during the act of procreation -- double-double Darwin Award! (2) people making (2) obviously bad decisions, and natural selection acts at the very moment the two are reproducing. Textbook!
            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

              Lord Harris should not be a Lord. But he deserves to be a typical, self-serving, entitled, self-promoting, bandwaggoning c.unt of the first order.

                    We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.

                      Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.
