Following  excerpt entirely from Toronto Sun:

The Darwin Award is an annual honor given to the person who did the gene
pool the biggest service by killing themselves in the most extraordinarily
stupid way (hopefully, but not necessarily immediately) before procreating.
Police said a lawyer demonstrating the safety of windows in a downtown
Toronto skyscraper crashed through a pane with his shoulder and plunged 24
floors to his death. A police spokesman said Garry Hoy, 39, fell into the
courtyard of the Toronto Dominion Bank Tower early Friday evening as he was
explaining the strength of the building's windows to visiting law students.
Hoy previously had conducted demonstrations of window strength according to
police reports. Peter Lauwers, managing partner of the firm, Holden -Day-
Wilson, told the Toronto Sun newspaper that Hoy was"one of the best and
brightest" members of the 200-man association. 

[ed. note - I think this guy should win, not only because he removed some
incredibly stupid genes from the pool, but he also eliminated a lawyer in
the process... :] (best and brightest? whatever does that say about the
rest of them?)  end of excerpt

I am sending this along to ease the depression of pre-winter gloom.
I didn't make it up, and it is not necessarly my opinion.
No flames, please?
