Why Don't You Die!? 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
This is the story of a really stupid person in my class at school. I was able to witness one of these events, and can verify the other two, but unfortunately he is still in the gene pool.
In January, my friend, (let's call him) Jack Hole, went looking for a dog with a friend of his on a highway. He wasn't allowed to go with this particular friend of his or ridei in his beefed up car.
They found the dog near the edge of a forest, and my friend then proceded to jump out of the car to run and catch the dog. Little did this person know (or maybe he did...), the car had accelerated from 15 to 45-50 mph. Unfortunately, he only broke his arm.
Maybe you don't understand this boy's stupidity. A few weeks later, he proceeded to jump down a flight of stairs in one of our college buildings. On the way down, he hit his already broken arm on the ceiling overhang, breaking it again, and proceeded to slam into a door at the bottom, rendering him unconcious. All I could do was laugh when I saw him crumpled at the floor below.
This may seem stupid. But what makes this really stupid is that it was the second time performing this stunt. The first time, he didn't quite make it to the bottom, and fell on the third step from the bottom. After he got up, he had a seizure and missed French.
Unfortunate moral of the story: really stupid people making really stupid mistakes don't die as often as you like. Submitted on 04/24/2002
