I could have really liked this one! Unfortunately, there is no corroborating news link, and the write-up is very short on detail. Nevertheless, I really like the visual here. Karen, if you find a more detailed version of this, do please submit it...and don't forget to add the link as well! :-) Thanks!

Neutral: Darwin Award
I always like the essential irony of someone threatening another winding up dead by their own hand. So, even without additional information, I'll vote to keep this. Thanks, Karen!

I found the article in our database. It is a real, bonefide DA, reported (as stated) in the Fast News section of Australian paper, The Courier-Mail on 15th June 2006. It was also reported in another Australian paper, the Geelong Advertiser, and the New Zealand Herald.
