When stones and milt meet 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
Recently, I heard about and old school friend of mine. He was never really a genius (well, he was very stupid), and as you know, if stupidity and strange ideas meet, this may lead towards a Darwin Award. Now, he had a strange idea - he wanted to stop a train just 4 fun. So, he figured out a plan. He put a big stone on a railway track, went a few steps beside and looked on how his experiment would turn out. Well, the train came, but from just another direction than he had expected.A train weighs thousands of tons, and with about 60 mph he ran over the stone. The stone was thrown away from the track, and the particles destroyed my friends milt and foot.
So I think that he should get at least a honorable mention. Submitted on 12/19/2002
