My 2nd Darwin Award article

Till Death do us part.

(7th October, 2008 Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia)

If you are a demolition specialist then there are a few things or check list that you would keep in mind to ensure yours and others safety for health reasons. The basic check lists (in no particular orders) are:
1. Safety, meaning don’t bring work back home and follow proper procedure.
2. Emotional check, meaning if you are having your mood swings on that day is in everyone best interest you take a day off and not to tempt fate with your resentment or depression state.
3. Marital issues, meaning don’t bring work back home and tempt with fate with mood swings base on any martial issues.
4. Job description, meaning if you are a fishermen then you shouldn’t be using or working around any explosive ordnance in the 1st place.
And of course lastly
5. Having a good solid common sense or knowledge, meaning grow a brain or get a brain and use it wisely.

As our latest Darwin award candidate from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia where he lacks all of the 5 above mentioned check list he makes it up in creativity not only removing himself from the gene pool but as well as his wife in the process.

Our Darwin Award Babin Isang age 35(male) and Indak Musa also age 35(female) were having their marital issues as any normal and sane couple would but resolve it in no normal or sane person would. They decide to put a test to their wedding vows “till death do us part” literally.
Our so called “demolition cum negotiator cum marriage consular” who is by the way a fishermen from Philippine, decide to talk his wife also from Philippine out of divorcing him after a month of argument.

After the negotiation with the wife has proven fruitless, our Darwin award candidate decide to blast or in his case to have the final say and put their wedding vows “till death do us part” a nudge. But like many right minded nut case, our Darwin award candidate follow the golden rule of thumb in his vast logic of stupidity of being a demolition expert that is, is better to be safe than sorry which translate to our Darwin award candidate meaning quantity is better than quality. In summary, if one bomb wouldn’t do the trick than detonate or get more than one bomb.

Police investigation found that the Darwin award candidate uses more than 1 bomb to get the job done plus several unexploded bombs were also found at the crime scene.
What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger right? In this case we can only hope that he and his wife have seen the light and way their way to St.Peter’s gate safely.

So the rules or check list for our bomb expert to deserve a the Darwin Awards are:
Reproduction - Out of the gene pool: dead as a wood.
Excellence - Astounding misapplication of judgment – check. Reason fisherman are not to fiddle with explosive ordnance.
Self-Selection - Cause one's own demise – check. But causes his wife to follow him too.
Maturity – 35 years of age. – check.
Veracity – on the local (Malaysian) newspaper. Check.
