someone was saying (very probably a golfer) that you no longer hear applause around the greens because all the spectators are filming and no one hands free to clap. strange world. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Dead On Valentines Day
"He who cannot put his thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of dispute." -Friedrich Nietzsche
(14 February 2018, Berlin) A 19-year-old and his soon-to-be-ex were walking along the beautiful Havel River, quarreling. Unable to win his conversational point, the frustrated man suddenly shoved the woman into the icy river, jumping in to push her under again and again!
But she could swim. He could not...
She swam safely to land and quickly recovered from hypothermia. He sank and lost consciousness in the 2°C waters, forever forgetting the quarrel, and was pulled out by water police and transported to Charité Virchow Clinic in Berlin. The attacker fell into a carceral coma, and an arrest warrant was issued against him for "attempted homicide for low motives" (in German, "Versuchten Heimtückemordes aus niederen Beweggründen.")
The crime was committed on December 19th, and the perpetrator died on February 14th--an ironic date indeed--from irreversible brain damage.
Usually no Darwin Award is granted when an innocent bystander is injured. In this case we make a rare exception, because the woman fully recovered (and is perforce better off without this madman) while the diabolical and drowned deed-doer was Darwinian-dumb. |  |

On 9 May 1864, during the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, Union General John Sedgwick said of Confederate sharpshooters 'They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance.'
Almost immediately he was shot dead. By a Confederate sharpshooter. |  |
