The LOngest Darwin Award Since Jato Rocket! In 1969 the colorful, progressive Fifth Bishop Of California won a truly deserved Darwin Award in the same desert wilderness wandered by #Jesus for 40 Days And 40 Nights. Bishop's fatal final day on Earth was the 2nd of September...? 3rd? 5th? The exact date is unknown, despite being very well documented! This very long (700 words) and crazy funny #DarwinAward you will love. Why have I never heard of this cool dude? I encourage you to skip over to the article.

Tediously tense about new words like minimiscule and bejeezus.
. Deal with it.
