ImWithStupid Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Here is a candidate for this years Darwin Award... CHATTANOOGA ? With children and other onlookers holding umbrellas, Sylvester Kitchens stood in the flooded street, laughing and bragging he could swim an overflowing Chattanooga storm ditch outside their house. Wearing shorts and shirtless, the 46-year-old Kitchens dared onlookers to bet him $5 he couldn't do it. Even when nobody showed any money, Kitchens jumped in. After bobbing along in the gushing water about 150 feet late Sunday afternoon and grabbing a chain link fence above the ditch, Kitchens lost his grip as family members tried to toss him the end of a water hose. He washed away into an underground culvert. Two days later, Chattanooga fire officials are still searching for him.

timesjoke Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I love the Darwin awards At 46 he most likely already passed on his genetic material though. Quote
Ahhlee Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I just learned about the existence of the "Man points" system, yesterday. Would this be something that, had he been successful, would have earned him a few "man points"? Quote

RoyalOrleans Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 He would've been awarded 10 Man Points if he had reemerged with a six pack in his maw... fifteen for a twelve pack. Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.
