				Darwin was right, here is solid proof...
			 
			AP) Duluth, Minn.  A northeastern Minnesota man is dead of an accidental gunshot wound to the chest. Witnesses told St. Louis County investigators that 36-year-old Allen Lee Cooke was showing a .22-caliber revolver to a friend when the gun discharged while he was twirling it on his finger. The accident happened just before three o'clock this morning in Lakewood Township northeast of Duluth. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities say alcohol was not a factor in the death and the shooting was not hunting related. Natural selection thinning the herd.....

			Agreed.  How about this one. BANJA LUKA, Bosnia (Reuters) - A hand grenade being used instead of a ball in a game of catch exploded early on Saturday killing three youths in this Bosnian town, police and news agencies said. Two youths aged 19 and 20, one of them from neighboring Croatia, were killed instantly while a 20-year-old woman died on her way to hospital, police said. Her sister was slightly injured but two other youths suffered serious injuries. The blast occurred at 2:00 a.m. in the western town of Novi Grad at a place in the town center frequented by youngsters. Police said an inquiry was under way and declined further comment. It was not clear why the grenade exploded. ONASA news agency quoted witnesses as saying the youths tossed the hand grenade to each other before it exploded in the hands of one of them.

			Ahh, that brings back happy memories of my youth, when the neighbor kids would all get together for a game of Bosnian Rugby.

			From the manual:  Grenade, fragmentation, M1A2. 'After the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not your friend'

			When I was an early teen, the video game "Joust" was really popular.  It was the one with riders on big birds knocking each other with sticks. We used to mount up on our Schwinn StingRay dirtbikes and come at each other with wooden rods to see who could knock the other off his bike. I've still got a scar from where a bike pedal went through my thigh, all the way down to the bone. Six stitches there. Ahh, it was fun being immortal back then.

 We did the lawn dart thing too - and used to have bb gun fights too - one pump maximum... of course they always got ugly when someone would get hit in a tender spot and accuse someone of more than one pump - next thing you know we were all pumping 3-4 times and taking serious cover.

 Paintball guns were originally developed for ranchers and the forestry service as a quick way to mark trees and cattle. Apparently someone found out it was more fun to shoot his friends....

			Yep.  I heard that there are roughly 150 male births to every, like, 110 female births.  Male infants are not as healthy as female, so there is slightly more male mortality in the first few months.  But after that, the guys kick it in high gear and the real surprizing thing, having been a boy most of my life, is that so many of us survive into our 30's. As far as Darwin Awards and firearms, my favorite is the guy who shot himself in the chest with a shotgun by beating his dog with the stock. Justifiable self-homicide.

			Darwin was right, to a certain point.  Now we have seatbelt and helmet laws, mdoern medicine and a number of other things that effectively defeat natural selection.

			Growing up we had bb gun fights as well - if got popped hard and thought it was a multi pump shot I would drop some rock salt down the barrel and fire away. That usually got a response   For close combat we would have roman candles taped to the barrels and would shoot those at each other. Amazing the bruising that a roman candle can leave - and yes we learned quickly to have our clothes soaking wet before we began to play.
