A selfie stick/golf club/ whatever would only cause you to be struck by lightning if the strike were to occur literally right next to you anyway. Not saying it didn't have an effect - just that it probably didn't, and if it did it's not really darwin award worthy.

For "lovable rogue" the translation is complete scrote who was happy to cause criminal damage, trespass and endanger other people. The gene pool is better off.

Apparently his friends went and killed the Alligator afterwards.

Poor alligator.

Mind you, he can't have been that dumb, as he had come up with a brilliant way of ensuring he would never lose his keys ..

For dear old Freako this relates to some lune who strapped the usual helium balloons to a lawn chair.

This one, however, was a skydiver & had a parachute.

2015-07-05 "F*** That Alligator": Man Killed Seconds After Mocking Gator Warning

Authorities say a 28-year-old Texas man was attacked and killed by an alligator “almost immediately” after being warned by a bystander not to swim in the water, replying “f*** that alligator” before jumping in, Buzzfeed reports.

“I asked him please do not go swimming, there’s a bigger alligator out here, just please stay out of the water,” an employee of Burkhart’s Marina in Orange, Texas told KFDM. “The next thing I know, I don’t even know how long it was, I saw his body floating face down and then he’s up there for a couple seconds and then he gets dragged back down and pulled off.”

According to police, marina employees put up a sign forbidding swimming after recently spotting a “pretty damn big” 11-foot alligator in the water. ...

different nut though.

Staples's brother Cody told the Daily News of New York that he was a few feet away when his brother lit the firework and was the first to come to his side after it exploded.

"There was no rushing him to the hospital. There was no Devon left when I got there," said 25-year-old Cody Staples, who called it an accident.

"Devon was not the kind of person who would do something stupid. He was the kind of person who would pretend to do something stupid to make people laugh," he said.

I think the facts prove otherwise. Shame for those around him.

[NotAllThere]

If you stop and think about just how truly, utterly and completely stupid many people are the world becomes an even scarier place.

Yeah, I mean some people actually believe this crap.
