A Really Bad Commute
2008 Honorable Mention

Confirmed True by Darwin
Outside the car, the lunatic--er, bomb maker--tried to dis-arm the device in an attempt to wheedle his way back into the vehicle. There was nothing to fear, everything was perfectly safe... until the bomb builder crossed the detonator wires. The bomb exploded, blasting away several of the man's non-vital body parts.
Police describe the hapless carpool driver as "shaken but unharmed."
