Russian Roullete 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
Playing russian roulette should automatically qualify someone for a Darwin Award, but the story below deserves extra considerations about the method.
During new year´s eve in São Paulo - Brazil, these two gentlemen (Antonio Silva e Jose Oliveira) were, under the auspices of a typical brazilian liquor called pinga, playing the salutary game of russian roulette with fireworks with wich they intended to celebrate the turn of the century. This peculiar version of the game consisted in lighting up the devices, sticking to their mouths and watch who could stand longer up to detonation.
With a blatant disregard for their safety which was only matched by their "courage" (trademark of all Darwin Award winners), Mr Silva held one of the fireworks in his mouth for a bit too long, holding an edge over Mr. Oliveira. That was the main commentary in his funneral (his courage, not his stupidity). Submitted on 04/03/2002
