Please don't submit multiple stories in one submission. It forces us to vote on them in an all-or-nothing manner. Stories like #1 and #3 don't involve any self-selection (Ivan died of a stroke, and heart disease certainly doesn't qualify). #8 we can't accept because it involves suicide. These are just the ones I can quickly rattle off. I'm not sure about any of the others, but then it's not our jobs to do research. If you think a story is worthy then submit it with full details to back it up, but please only submit one story per submission. Thanks just the same.

#2 -accident. #4 -Yannon was chronically ill and died of pneumonia. The microwaves may have been a contributing factor, but weren't the decisive one. #5 -Paranoia is a form of mental illness. We don't award deaths where mental illness is a decisive factor. #6 -Insufficient information to decide. #7 -Overdoses are far too common; some addicts will go to incredible lengths to get their fix. #9 - Reclusive and hoarding behaviors are signs of mental illness; the person needs to be helped. Other moderators: http://www.hawkmoon.plus.com/archive/2000.html #10 -Even today there are those who will sacrifice health to beauty; it's too common. Colds don't qualify. # 11 -Repeat. http://darwinawards.com/reject/201012/pending20101229-142112.html # 12 -This guy knew the risks and got paid for it. He'd eaten *many* things before, and had no reason to suspect the chameleon would be any different. None of these stories qualify under the rules. Please reread the rules, and submit again.
