Silenced by the Lambs
1999 Darwin Award Winner
Confirmed True by Darwin
(28 January 1999, England) A flock of sheep charged a well-meaning British farmer's wife and pushed her over a cliff to her death. Betty, 67, was charged by dozens of sheep after she brought them a bale of hay on the back of a power bike. The sheep rushed forward and rammed the vehicle, knocking Betty and her bike over the edge of a vacant quarry near Durham. "I saw the sheep surround the bike. The next thing she was tumbling down the incline," a neighbor told reporters. Her husband is being comforted by friends.
Bleating and Babbling, they fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.
