I would think the reason the ladies deserve a Darwin Award has nothing to do with the metal in their brassieres, or even their relative youth, but would be instead due to the fact that, during a thunderstorm, they sought shelter under a tree -- the one place where one should NEVER go. Just a thought....

I will pass this on to Darwin and let her take care of it. BTW if you want to comment on any of the Darwin Books or sulus pile entries, please use the Philosopher's Forum or contact Darwin directly. This page is for new submissions only! Thanks!
