The all new 'I sense the hand of Darwin' thread.
« on: May 23, 2012, 10:37:58 AM »
It seems like every few days there is an article in the news about some headcase trying to find an interesting way to shuffle off this mortal coil. Here is today's, jumping from a helicopter at 2,400 feet onto a pile of cardboard boxes...........................with a wingsuit but without a parachute.

The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.
