Storms always provide Darwin candidates.
Here's another one in this news story. Just wait till someone t-bones his vehicle and gas goes all over him. talk about stupid. Even a falling gas can could be danergous.

I personally think the added value of a cigarette hanging from his mouth would have made for a much better picture and completed the image that most people have already formed of Mr. Cardwell.

I saw a darwin candidate once with a cigarette.
Our local Walmart has gas pumps out front.
They had a decent sized "fuel spill" of several gallons.
They had one of their employees out putting "soak up" kitty litter type stuff to soak up all the gasoline. then he took a push broom and was sweeping it up.
the entire time he had a cigarette in his mouth..... I'm surprised he didn't blow himself up as I watched from one of the other pumps.

I actually left when i saw it... I quit pumping gas and just left. I figured that with fumes in the air and everything it was the safe thing to do.
Called Walmart manager from cell phone and alerted them to the dangerous activity. Their response was that they had no controll over those employees since they were a contract company that worked the pump.... (i.e., don't call me with this crap).
