A guy in the Bayou decided to go for a swim even after being told there are alligators and he ignored the signs all over with warnings about it. The marina caretaker told him "Please dont get in the water, these gators will eat you". Now it was dark, and alligators feed mostly at night and are much more aggressive after dark.

his answer.."F!CK the alligators". He took his wallet and keys from his pants and jumped in. Almost immediatly he was screaming for help and disappeared from view, only to come up floating and be dragged down again.

In a second incident.... A guy in Maine decided to set off a firework from the top of his head. he was killed instantly.
one can only hope they met the full criteria for a Darwin Award

I think it's interesting that he had the good sense to make sure his wallet and his keys didn't get wet. :P
