UK authorities seeking unknown young man who managed to dangle from a 25K Volt power line. Photo taken from a train passenger in article. Not an "Award" candidate, but of interest as a possible Honorable Mention.

Love the site! Thanks for your labor of love, Darwin!

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
A picture (and accompanying article) is worth a thousand words! This fellow is one lucky jamoke! About the only worse thing would be if the power had been switched on at the moment the picture was snapped. Chalk another one up for cel phone photography!

Yikes! Great photo and well done the passenger with the cell who took the photo. I see stupidity is not confined to the USA.
