First candidate for the Darwin Awards 2007

Glad I wasn't behind her

Chunky Monkey

Not quite up to the required standard, but perhaps more luck next time

For those not in the know, the Darwin Awards are given to those who help the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who inadvertently remove themselves from it.

This time she walked away though so she technically doesn't become eligible for the award

They brought several ambulances & a helicopter to get her out of the cave? What were they trying to do, winch her out with the 'copter?

That's got to be something out of a cartoon...

The rescue operation involved several ambulance teams, a helicopter....

...1cwt of Ryvita and a subscription to Slimmers' World

Inspiration for anyone thinking about dieting.

Its a difficult one that... maybe if she was forced to diet for a few weeks she could afford to pay it

To be fair leave here there a week or so just with a few bottles of water (so she doesn't die) and the problem would have sorted itself If the rescue bloke got in over the woman, then the rest of them could have got out?!!? Especially the Diabetic ... also what sort of diabetic doesn't take an insulin shot with them where ever they go?!!??! I think that might have been a bit of poetic license?!?!?

I hope they refunded her admission

this reminds me a little of a story in the Winnie the Pooh series, when he got stuck having eaten too much honey, probably heading that way myself

I don't carry my insulin much at all. It's got to be kept refrigerated you know... It only leaves the house when I think I might need it, and on something like this I'd leave it with the car/bike to avoid the risk of breaking it...
