The Darwin Awards are for those who remove themselves from the gene pool in *spectacular* ways. They disallow entrants for reasons of mental disease or defect-- so failing to reproduce just because you're a troll living in your parent's basement loses twice - it's commonplace, not spectacular, and it usually isn't a result of a conscious decision you made. Having said that. I suppose it *is* possible. Consider the (hiopefully hypothetical) example of an expreme overclocker who does something predictably stupid and ends up with a lapful of liquid nitrogen and a case of severe frostbite. Gives a whole new meaing to "shatter attack" ;) Yeah, *that* would get a Darwin. ;)
