Boared To Death

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Surely a Darwin Award for this gentleman, despite his death in 1913...

Famous Belgian (excuse the oxymoron) racing driver Camille Jenatzy was on a hunting trip with friends in 1913.

But with no wild boars about, he and his friends retired to the hunting lodge for a few drinks.

When the rest of the group started to snore, Jenatzy attempted a practical joke, creeping into the bushes, grunting and snorting like a boar.

He was too good — one of his guests opened the shutters and shot into the dark. “The Red Devil” died within minutes.

Sorry "Cupid Stunt", but there is no way for a moderator to remove the link - we only moderate, not modify.

Neutral because there's no way to verify it; DA because I've heard/read similar stories that happened here in Texas ("Hold my beer, I'm gonna go out and scare the pants off of that guy by pretending to break into his house....")

Go on a hunting trip and deliberately pretend to be a target. Yup, that's smart.


Buy a Book!
The third Darwin Awards book is packed with over 100 all-new tales of the triumph of nature over mankind. If you're considering sawing through the tree branch directly overhead... stringing a "shell" necklace of live ammunition... installing deadly boobytraps in your own home... you jut might be a Darwin winner! Illustrations by Zeebarf and McGookin.

"The Darwin Awards... constitute a delicious
sermon in support of common sense."
-The Baltimore Sun
