Close, but not quite. A Darwin Award has to remove himself from the Gene Pool either via death or injured in some way that they can not reproduce anymore. Unless his balls got blown off in the process, the committee can only tell him to reapply again.

I don't think he's gonna be seeing a lot of action without hands, though.

Probably the only way he gets any action. Look on the bright side, we won't have to worry about that awkward grip and grin moment

More parents who stood around praying while their son died of a treatable disease. Is it just me, or are we seeing an uptick in these stories? What can we do to protect the innocent from the very people whose first priority should be to look out for those kids?

Pray.


Scarily, I'm only half-kidding. With the laws nowadays, no one wants to rule against a religion/belief. Even with medical proof. I feel sorry for the kids.

Most of us, if we have to make a mistake, want to err on the side of being too solicitous to people's religious beliefs. I have no problem with that. But there is a legal consensus that children can't give "informed consent" to refuse medical care. Therefore, parents are (in the abstract) required to seek medical attention for their kids.

There was a couple recently convicted (in Indiana?) of second degree murder for watching while their diabetic daughter expired. They were convicted but essentially won't be spending any time in prison. I believe they're on probation for about 5 years.

These are extreme cases. But how many parents out there are refusing to get their kids vaccinated because of some internet driven concerns about autism or acne or something? Too many.

The Good Lord helps those who help themselves. In this case, getting the kid to a doctor woul have been a good idea to help the kid rise back on up.

W.Va. man accused of putting beer into an infant's bottle while baby-sitting

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A Charleston man was accused of putting beer into an infant's bottle while baby-sitting the child. James Michael Williams was charged with felony child neglect creating the risk of injury. A criminal complaint accuses Williams of putting Natural Ice Light beer into the 11-month-old's bottle on Friday.

Police were unable to determine if the child drank any beer. The baby's mother and Williams' cousin, Ebony Williams, said her child vomited shortly after she took the bottle away.

Williams told police her cousin said he did it as a practical joke, but didn't allow the child to consume any beer.

James Williams has not yet secured an attorney and no phone listing could be found for him.

Tenn. church destroyed by fire after members come to blows at meeting

TAZEWELL, Tenn. - There was a fist fight at a Claiborne County church and now the building has burned to the ground. Detective Capt. David Honeycutt with the Claiborne County Sheriff's Office said the fire was being investigated and a look at the fight is a strong element of it. The cause of the fire late Friday or early Saturday hasn't been determined. Honeycutt said there was no indication of an electrical malfunction.

Edwards Community Missionary Baptist Church was in rural part of the county, near the Union County line.

"That's God's house. It's no place to throw fists, or shoot people, or talk about shooting people, it's for blessing the Lord," the church's pastor, Rev. Clayborn Gibbons, told WBIR-TV in Knoxville.

The station reported the building had stood for nearly 70 years, but a recent division over who should lead the congregation erupted into fisticuffs on Sept. 30.

Church member David Lovin told the station "it just all broke loose."

Honeycutt said Thursday morning there had been no arrests in the fire. He said investigators were still taking statements from church members.

Honeycutt said the church has 30-50 members and "there has been a division of the church."

"When I heard that the church burned, it just broke my heart, cause you know that's where my heart was," Lovin said.

On Wednesday night, the congregation met in a church member's garage.

One of my favorite jokes: A flood comes, and a pious man is stranded on the roof of a house, and he prays to God to deliver him. Soon enough, a boat shows up, but the man says, "No, thank you - the Lord will take care of me." This happens again, and then a helicopter comes by, but he sends them both away. Finally, the waters wash him away and he drowns. When he arrives at Heaven, he complains to St. Peter, "I put all my faith in you, and you abandoned me. Why?" St. Peter replies, "Heck - we sent 2 boats and a helicopter. There wasn't a whole lot more we could do."

Sometimes the Lord works in mysterious ways - like, through helicopters and dialysis machines...

Edit: and as counterpoint, I also like the gag where the inmate is praying in prison for delivery and then someone comes to break him out and he prays, "Oh - never mind. Thanks, anyway." :) Can't remember what that's from, though.
