D'oh!!

Heard of the Darwin awards?  No, neither had I but apparently they are given posthumously to people who have killed themselves in a particularly stupid way, thus removing their genes from the human gene pool and therefore supposedly benefiting human evolution - hence the reference to Darwin.  All very tongue in cheek of course, but now someone has done some research and found that of the 318 people who have won the award since 1995, 282 were men and only 36 women.  As the criteria for getting the award is to have done something outstandingly idiotic, this is put forward as proof that men are more stupid than women!
