Yea but the some of them are real, thats the scary part.

Think about it, if everybody that deserved a Darwin award got one, the world's population would drop to about 150,000,

I remember the story about the JATO rocket guy was in the news paper, albiet in the "news of the weird" section in 1995. I was in awe about how in the world he found a JATO rocket to attach to this car in the first place. Maybe it was part a big News "conspiracy", but I doubt it. I don't think the Darwin awards are urban myths. Maybe bad news, but every Darwin award I have seen was in the newspaper first.

To quote Albert Einstien, "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

All things considered, while it was on the news, the story is probably not true. I think what gave more relevence to the story were the details and the fact that it is plausable to attempt such a stuipd stunt. Plus, its a great story!

Given the fact that if something can be tried, someone will, it doesn't seem so far fetched. However, it is just as plausable that was another case of 'bad news'.

Personally, I'd like to see a Mythbusters show mythbusting Mythbusters.
