02 ottobre Darwin AwardeeI was stationed in Landstuhl Germany from 1998-2001, and while I was there I got the morbid pleasure to witness the aftermath of a Darwin Awardee. Below is the text from their website and they call it Mental Eclipse. http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/index_darwin2001.html
(11 August 1999) A 42-year-old man killed himself watching the eclipse while driving near Kaiserslautern, Germany. A witness driving behind him stated that the man was weaving back and forth as he concentrated on the partially occluded sun, when he suddenly accelerated and hit the bridge pier. He had apparently just donned his solar viewers, which are dark enough to totally obscure everything except the sun.
Yes when I read this I can't help but to laugh. The scene was hardly funny though. I think he was driving a VW Golf but the car was so mangled it was almost impossible to determine. I find it morbidly amusing the way we as humans can find humor in others stupidity. I can't help but wonder, was this guy in that big of a hurry that he couldn't stop for 2 minutes, and what was he thinking? Was it something like, I don't need these eyes? I got it. He was using his telepathic powers to guide his car but that pier just jumped out in front of him. It's kinda like people talking on their cell phones while driving but multiplied by a hundred. We're all guilty of it. I guess that's the reason you can get a drivers license while being deaf but can't if your blind.
