| 1430393 | 2017-01-03 07:37:00 | I sympathise of both sides here! Four years ago, my husband was dying (and did so a month later). It was his birthday, and I was trying to make it somewhat celebratory. I decided to light a candle for the table, and found the lighter had no lighter fluid in it (used very seldom these days), so filled it with fluid, which ran down my wrist and arm, and managed to light it at the same time... :( So there I was, holding my hand under the tap and bawling my eyes out. Not one of my better efforts. But I was trying quite hard to do the right thing! |

| 1430397 | 2017-01-04 02:11:00 | Close, but no cigar. Their attempt is disqualified by being just No.3576 in a long series of people doing that particular stunt. Usually its just hair and eyebrows that bite the dust. |

| 1430398 | 2017-01-04 06:34:00 | Neither qualify, the criteria for a Darwin award is to remove yourself from the Gene pool thereby improving humanity as a whole. You either have to die or sterilise yourself without having kids to qualify. Killing your entire family through stupidity would probably count as well. They could get an honourable mention for those stories though. One is still alive and the other has kids - so no. |
