2009 Darwin Award Nominee: Sparkleberry Lane

(31 July 2009, South Carolina) Two disguised men entered the Sprint store on Sparkleberry Lane, pulled out guns, and stole wallets, purses, and credit cards before ordering the employees into a bathroom. Both men fled, but they could not flee from their own stupidity. 24-year-old James Thomas had disguised himself by spray-painting his own face.

Yes, in order to conceal his identity during the robbery, Thomas covered his skin with paint--a toxic substance with well known inhalation risks. He began having trouble breathing (surprise!) and died wheezing shortly after the robbery took place. Witnesses were certain as to the identity of their assailant; had he lived, he would have been charged with armed robbery.

Pa. Man Snoozes Through House Fire

PITTSBURGH — A suburban Pittsburgh man slept soundly as his home caught on fire and partially collapsed.

It wasn't until firefighters did a walk-through of the home more than two hours later that he woke up.

Ross Township Fire Marshal John Reubi said he was "flabbergasted" that anyone survived the blaze. It broke out around 2:40 a.m. Sunday and was reported by a passer-by.

Firefighters were initially unable to search for victims because part of the roof collapsed. After controlling the fire, firefighters walked through and found the man in a bedroom. Reubi said it appeared the man had no idea what was going on.

Officials said the house had several additions, perhaps shielding the man's room from flames. He was treated for smoke inhalation.
