Well you can odviously tell how inteligent the whole group were.
Just what i want, one or more people grabbing me and lifting me up after hitting the deck so hard, and losing my helmet so easily.
So, just to clearify, DON'T move a person that is down, especially if they aren't moving like that guy.
Oh, and you can't fix Stupid.    :o

How did that guy in the 1st vid manage to get the hardly-ableson to break traction? 

Perhaps some oil was in that parking spot

The Darwin Awards elimination process is starting early this year.

Idiots in the second vid could easily have killed or paralyzed him by turning him over. What's dumber than an idiot? Damn, we need some new terminology.

Unfortunately, "Idiots" are at the bottom of the barrel.  Just above idiot is an "Imbecile".  The next rung up is "Moron".  It's quite possible a "Cretin" is lower than an idiot, though.  We probably would need to flesh that out a bit, of course.

Given that Binet was French he probably ran out of friends before cretin came up.

No directions on any of my martini glasses.  Tonight, though, it's a Bloody Mary.  I'm too tired to shake the ice...
