A future Darwin Award shall go to...

Post by OldBlindDog »

Josh Martin, guitarist of a band whose name I could not possibly post to Castanet, who died by fooling around on an escalator.

RIP, to the hellion whose band came up with the most bizarre and hilarious song titles.

How can you not read the signs telling you to not drive on the bridge? Certainly they would be there. Anyone who trusts Google directions more than the actual signage on the ground deserves a Darwin award.

From the article: "State troopers who found Paxton's body in his overturned and partially submerged truck had said there were no barriers or warning signs along the washed-out roadway."

hmmm, so why didn't anyone else drive into the water? I've never heard of a washout not marked. Something doesn't add up.

It washed out a long time ago so it's not like it's a new thing.

Knowing how things work in the US they will probably win. And Google should take some responsibility for not updating the maps.
