What kind of award should go to those who don't quite complete all the requirements for a Darwin? A back target, lead shoes, cyanide?
A "friend of a friend", in his youth, was an adventurous and inquisitive sort of guy. He duck-taped 12 guage shotgun shells to the end of his bb gun to set them off. (What else could he have done - he didn't have a real shotgun?) The total porting effect, and close proximity to the killing zone, soon convinced him to pursue less noisy endeavors _ HUH?
But, as far as I know, he is still walking around with all of his parts intact. Could he qualify for a runner-up award?
He could get an Honorable Mention for attempting, but not completing a Darwin Award.

As I'm pouring, I hear a faint rumbling, reminiscent of Mt. St. Helens. Turns out all the gas in the pile had not been consumed.
